sofa bed (Berkhamsted HP4)
We have a dark blue 'suedette' sofa bed, which came from Australia with us several years ago and which has no fire labels. As a sofa it's a little saggy, but if someone wanted to replace the mattress (which is fairly thin) this is still functional as a sofa bed. And despite the sagginess, our children love it and find it very snuggly. It has seen better days but is in not too bad condition. Approx dimensions are 195cm wide x 85cm deep. You would probably need a small/medium van to collect.

wooden cot and mattress (Berkhamsted HP4)
I have a wooden cot and mattress which I think originally came from Ikea, we got it free ourselves for very short term use. Measurements are 124cm wide x 66cm deep x 78cm high (the cot, not the mattress). Mattress has fire label. I think it will need to be dismantled for us to get it out of the room it's in, so will probably need to be put back together.

Kidde carbon monoxide alarm, seems to work. We removed it from a house which is due for demolition so don't need it ourselves. Approx the size of a box of cigarettes, I would estimate.

I have several sheets of stickers for calendars, like 'birthday', 'anniversart', 'car service', 'library' - you get the gist! If they'd be of use to anyone, or several anyones I'm happy for them to be collected rather than binned.

Double bed, with or without mattress (Berkhamsted HP4)
Expired
Looking for a double bed for my son who's moved out of home. Ideally a wooden framed one with a mattress. Impossible to buy on Facebook Marketplace, as it's full of scammers. Who knew?? If anyone has one taking up space in their house that they'd like to free up, please let me know.

A round, black framed approx 10" diameter wall clock with second hand. Runs on one AA battery and is radio controlled - so it resets itself automatically in March and April when the clocks change :)

Cookie Monster wheelie-case for child (Berkhamsted HP4)
Gifted
I have a Cookie Monster wheelie case that could also be used as a backpack if someone wants to fix the strap. Still works fine as wheelie case, though and might suit a young cookie monster fan on their travels!
