Free: Cold water dispenser (Browns Hill GL6) Expired Chill your water in the fridge and then set this up in your garden or campervan for easy dispensing and refills of cool water.... Unused. Has been kept clean. It was an accessory for a mini fridge that we no longer have. If you have a mini fridge with a cigarette lighter connection I think the bottle will fit into it and the water can be chilled as you go along in a car or campervan. Otherwise suitable for use in the garden or home office. If you’re interested, a mobile number to text regarding collection or possible delivery would be very helpful.

103d

Free: Invoice book (Browns Hill GL6) Expired Has been used but the old pages have been ripped out and numbers 43 - 100 are still available for use. Duplicate forms which can be hand-written. I have some new carbon paper to supply with it if anyone wants it. If you’re interested, a mobile phone number for texting regarding collection or possible delivery would be very helpful.

Free: Tea light dish warmers (Browns Hill GL6) Gifted You used to see these in Chinese and Indian restaurants... powered by two tea lights each, the metal tops get hot and keep your dishes warm. Don’t use them with plastic take-away containers, however, as they will melt! The tea lights can be put out without touching the tops using the metal levers at the sides. They can go together or separately. If you’re interested, a mobile number to text regarding collection or possible delivery would be very helpful.

Free: Electric hostess trolley (Browns Hill GL6) Gifted Philips electric hostess trolley with Pyrex type glass top for keeping things hot in oven-proof dishes and then two large warming compartments behind the hinged doors. Useful for a family takeaway? It’s quite bulky so you will need a hatchback with the seats down or something larger to transport it. It’s fairly heavy as well so two people to lift it although we can help at our end. A mobile number would be great to text you regarding collection if you’re interested.

Free: Hygiene kits for travelling (Browns Hill GL6) Gifted These are called Patientpaks and the main idea was to take one with you to protect yourself against infection if you had to go to hospital or were going travelling. They contain various antibacterial wipes, spray, toothbrush and toothpaste, soap and a nailbrush, a biro, etc. They are all untouched and unopened in a zipped hold-all which could be just used on its own without the contents. The official expiry date has long since passed but given the nature of the items, I think most of it could still be used. There are two packs. They could go separately or together. If you’re interested, a mobile number to text regarding collection or possible delivery would be helpful.

Free: White porcelain coffee pot (Browns Hill GL6) Expired See photos. Please note that this has a hairline crack and can only be used for decorative purposes. If you are interested, a mobile number to text regarding collection or possible delivery would be very helpful.

Free: Fondue cookbook (and set) (Browns Hill GL6) Gifted Transport yourself back to the 60s with this Fondue Cookbook! I am also posting (separately) a fondue set which would enable you to try out the recipes. If you’re interested, a mobile number for texting regarding collection or possible delivery would be very helpful.

121d

Free: Fondue set (and cookbook) (Browns Hill GL6) Gifted A blast from the last! I think this is cast iron. A fondue set which needs liquid paraffin to light the burner. Together with a brand new set of forks and a cookbook which gives you both sweet and savoury recipes. Fondues can be made with cheese, meat, marshmallows, etc. A fun way of eating as a group. If you’re interested, a mobile number for texting regarding collection or possible delivery would be very helpful.

Free: Metal trolley on castors (Browns Hill GL6) Expired This trolley was very useful when it had four plastic baskets but they got brittle and disintegrated. You could probably find new plastic baskets that would fit it or you could make it into a shelf unit by making four shelves (they would need to be 30w x 36cm deep). The overall dimensions of this are: 85cm high, 32cm wide and 37cm deep. A mobile number for texts would be much appreciated if you are interested. If you don’t have transport we could deliver to Stroud or Nailsworth or other nearby locations.

Free: White ceramic tiles x 8 (Browns Hill GL6) Expired Rectangular plain white tiles measuring 20 x 15cm and approx. 5mm deep. They have a “dimpled” surface. In good unused condition... just one has a very small chip on the edge (see 3rd photo). Suitable for a small cloakroom or kitchen splashback? To go together please. If you’re interested, a mobile number to text regarding collection or possible delivery would be helpful.

Free: Folding single bed (Browns Hill GL6) Expired A tubular metal framed occasional folding bed. We call it a “Z” bed.... It was originally from IKEA and measures 190cm (6’ 3”) long by 79cm (31”) wide and stands 38cm (15”) off the ground when opened up. There is a foam mattress in a cover and a separate (not washable) mattress topper which can be stored in its own zipped bag. Several of the original hooks that kept the springs in place got lost along the way and have been replaced with sturdy plastic tie-wraps. A strapping 16-year old relative was quite comfortable on it last time he stayed.

Free: Instruction leaflet for D50 camera (Browns Hill GL6) Expired We found this in a backpack that a Freegler passed on to us... can’t remember who it was but they might recognise the backpack being Freegled again in another post. This manual is for a Nikon D50 digital camera. If you want it or want it back, please get in touch! A mobile number for texting would be helpful.

Free: Camera backpack (Browns Hill GL6) Expired Padded backpack to take camera and accessories. The make looks like Centon....?? In good condition.

Free: Cake candles galore! (Browns Hill GL6) Expired Home bakers please see the photos.... Several large digit candles, most used briefly, and candle holders suitable for a young boy, perhaps: toy soldiers and racing cars. The soldier ones need a bit of TLC... a school holiday delicate painting project, perhaps? Also many other candles and candle holders... there are at least 6 the same in each group and some are unused. All of this to go as one lot. The candles could also of course be melted down for making new ones. If you’re interested we would appreciate a mobile phone number to text you regarding collection or delivery (or we could post them out to you if you’re not local).

143d

Free: Pair of cognac bottles (Browns Hill GL6) Gifted Ornate XO Hennessy Cognac bottles. Would decorate a garden bar area or similar. One original cork stopper has broken off but I can supply a similar substitute. The paper collar on one came off while washing them and the “X.O.” designation has worn off the other one. If you’re interested, a mobile number to text regarding collection or possible delivery would be very helpful.

Free: Party balloons, 2, 3, 9 9 (Browns Hill GL6) Expired Got a celebration coming up soon? Jumbo air-filled rose gold balloons x four: number 2, number 3 and two number 9s. You can make 2, 3, 9, 23, 29, 32, 39, 92, 93, 99, etc. They are 10 days old so will probably be good for another week or ten days. These sit on a table without needing any fixing. They cost about £5 each if you buy them online. A mobile number to text would be very helpful if you are interested.

Free: Harp-like musical instrument (Browns Hill GL6) Gifted This is known as a box zither. Probably Austrian. Dusty and rusty from being in storage but an interesting piece to display or try to restore or just to play around with…. A mobile number would be very helpful to text you about collection or possible delivery if you are interested.

205d

Free: Carved Indian side table (Browns Hill GL6) Gifted Hardwood octagonal table with a top that comes off and then the base folds flat for transporting or storage. It had eight sides with carved detail but four of the panels (in a row) are missing. You can find similar items on eBay for quite a lot of money. This one is dirty from storage and needs TLC! One I saw on eBay had also lost 4 panels and the owner had used pieces of Indian carpet to replace the missing carved wood - just an idea for renovation. If you’re interested, please supply a mobile number which we can use to text you about collection or possible delivery.

Free: Large pieces of foam (Browns Hill GL6) Expired See photo. These were used to protect 2 bicycles lying horizontal in the back of a hatchback…. so they are a bit more than bike-sized. They have some oil marks on as a result of previous use but would be fine for the same purpose again, they still have some life left in them. When we got proper bike racks we put them behind our car in the garage so that we couldn’t damage the car by reversing into things by mistake so that is another potential use for them. They will be going to the tip on 25th June if no-one wants them by then. If you’re interested a mobile number for texting re. collection would be very helpful.

206d

Request: wooden bookcase (Browns Hill GL6) Expired Posting this for a friend in Bussage who would like a free-standing wooden bookcase (not a tall one). Something not taller than, say, 110cm (43”) and not wider than about the same dimensions. I think she is wanting a natural wood finish rather than painted wood. Thanks for reading.

216d

Request: Mini Fridge (Browns Hill GL6) Expired One that holds just a couple of items. We used the one we had to keep an opened tin of dog food in when travelling away from home. Reliable collection if you have one of these that you don’t use. Happy to call or text mobiles if that helps.

216d

Free: Framed print of Dovedale (Browns Hill GL6) Gifted A large print showing Dovedale in the Peak District with its famous stepping stones and Thorpe Cloud in the distance. The outer dimensions are: 35” x 25.5” (89 x 65cm). There is a sturdy hanging cord on the back. The print without the mount or frame is approx. 26” x 17.5” (66.5 x 44.5cm). If you are interested, a mobile phone number to text regarding collection or possible delivery would be very helpful. Thank you.
