Double futon base (Stroud GL5) Gifted 111d - Can anyone use a double futon base. We have freegled the mattress but they didn't need the base as they had one. It looks like this except that it has an additional prop so that you can raise the head of the futon. It is in good condition except that we had to saw a few centimetres off a couple of slats at the foot end to fit into a room - see photo of part of base - this does not affect how the futon sits on the base

Double futon (Stroud GL5) Gifted 113d - This is an old heavy cotton futon. It is over 30 years old. It has been well used as a spare bed and remains incredibly comfortable. The cover is very badly stained - it is fine as a sofa with a throw over it but not really usable without one. It is still very comfortable to sleep on. The futon mattress itself is very heavy - much heavier than a modern futon. The base is pretty standard. We are getting rid of it because we need the space

Office chair (Stroud GL5) Expired 114d - Lovely chair but surplus to requirements now that we rarely work from home. In good condition, up and down mechanism works fine

Card table (Stroud GL5) Gifted 114d - Can anyone use a card table? It is well made, legs fold fine, green felt is starting to show its age but still totally functional

Rocking chair, in need of a little repair (Stroud GL5) Gifted 114d - This is a beautiful low rocking chair. The wood is in a great condition but the cane is starting to split and will need to be repaired although it is fine at the moment with a cushion on the seat

2 white poinsettia cuttings (Stroud GL5) Gifted 125d - Would anyone like two small poinsettia cuttings? I took these in the Autumn from a large white-bract poinsettia. They have not produced white bracts this Christmas but I think they should in future years. They are also an attractive houseplant without the bracts

Coleman event shelter (Stroud GL5) Gifted 126d - We have an old Coleman event shelter - it is about 15 years old. and measures 4m by 4m. The frame is in perfect condition but the skin is tearing in a few places around the edge. It is no longer waterproof in heavy rain but it is fine in drizzle and provides good shade if it's sunny. Replacement skins for event shelters as old as this are no longer available. I can't take a photo of it as it is folded away in its bag and we don't have the space to unfold it or put it up

Imperia pasta roller (Stroud GL5) Gifted 131d - Has cutting attachment, but does not roll very thinly, so may be better for rolling clay etc

Old towels (Stroud GL5) Gifted 151d - We have several old tattyish towels. These are probably better for dog towels than people towels (though we have been using them for people until recently!). Can anyone use them?

Camper van ornament in need of TLC (Stroud GL5) Expired 153d - Would anyone like a campervan waste paper bin/ plant holder in need of TLC. It is a beautifully made papier mache camper van, which we put a plant in which then leaked. It also shows a lot of signs of wear and tear. But it would be a lovely Christmas project for someone who liked the look of it and fancied doing it up . . . .

Lovely vintage Monsoon dress in need of repair (Stroud GL5) Gifted 183d - This is a lovely hourglass shaped vintage Monsoon dress, size 12. It is around 30 years old, but it is now too small for me and it needs a new zip. Other than that it is in a good condition Can anyone rescue it?

Wooden play bricks in need of some TLC (Stroud GL5) Gifted 187d - We have a bag of wooden play bricks - enough for a pushalong walker - which have sat in a loft for 25 years and are in need of TLC. Mostly they just need sanding but the paint on some is chipped too. Can anyone use them?

Dehydrator in need of repair (Stroud GL5) Gifted 227d - This is the make and model Although the fan part works fine, the heating element does not work. I have no idea if it is easy to fix - googling it is inconclusive - it may just be a quick soldering repair or it may need more than that

Rucksack (Stroud GL5) Gifted 281d - This is a large Blacks rucksack. It doesn't have a model name or number on it, and it doesn't state the capacity, but the approximate measurements are 70cm high, 40cm wide and 15cm deep. It is very adjustable and has lots of pockets and straps. It is incredibly comfortable but it is too big for what I now need a rucksack for. The coating on the inside of the rucksack is starting to come off (see second picture)
