Double futon (Stroud GL5)
Gifted
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

Double futon base (Stroud GL5)
Gifted
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

2 white poinsettia cuttings (Stroud GL5)

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
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

Camper van ornament in need of TLC (Stroud GL5)
Expired
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 . . . .
