Request: Dumbells for strength exercising (Higham Hill E17) - I would love a pair of 2kg weights if anyone has upgraded and finds these too light. Free: VHS videos (Higham Hill E17) - Does anyone still watch VHS videos and enjoy historic, costume and other films (not action, sci-fi etc.) ? 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. Free: Old decorating paints (Higham Hill E17) - These have been sitting in my cellar for many years, so may be dried up inside, but if you want to take a chance I will be happy to get rid of them. Suggest a day and time for collection in your reply, please. Two have been taken -- five left. Free: Bird feeder protection cages (Higham Hill E17) Gifted - 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. Free: Silver cleaning system (Higham Hill E17) Gifted - Cleans jewellery, silverware and other metals using salt and water. It works but I prefer the old fashioned way.

Request: Dumbells (Higham Hill E17) Withdrawn - This 82-year-old is doing fitness exercises every day.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.

Free: 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.

Free: Small cupboard (Higham Hill E17) Withdrawn - Good condtion apart from some old woodworm holes and paint marks on the left side, so you would not want that exposed.
