VHS videos (Higham Hill E17)

I am working through my collection and would like someone to have the ones I won't want to watch again. This will take time and they will be available in small batches, but I would love to find a Freegler who shares my taste in films.

Bird feeder protection cages (Higham Hill E17)
Gifted
7d
- Hanging your fatball or nut and seed dispensers under these helps to allow the small birds in and keep the pigeons out. I have found other semi-successful solutions, and don't need these because the local squirrels do their gymnastics on them and scoff the lot. If you are squirrel-free, they should help.

Dumbells (Higham Hill E17)
Withdrawn
40d
- This 82-year-old is doing fitness exercises every day. Lifting a 1lb bottle of water is too easy, so I want to try double that, i.e. 1kg, and need two. Are you too strong for these light things and could send them to a good home, please?

Patio scrubber (Higham Hill E17)
Gifted

- Batavia Maxxbrush similar to the one featured in Mine is a bit dusty. I used it twice but at nearly 82 I find it too heavy for me. It needs a heavy-duty out-door extension lead. I have one but I need to keep it for my weed burner. I does work with an indoor extension lead, but safest is an outdoor one.
