Jam Jars in Various sizes (St John's WR2)
28 Jam jars, various sizes, all with lids, clean and dry. We had been collecting these for a lady who made the most wonderful marmalade every year but her husband's Parkinson's is now so bad that she no longer has the time or the inclination. I would hate to commit these to the tip but that's where they must go if no one wants them. They're all boxed up ready to go. All or nothing. Please don't ask for just a few.

Dog/Cat Food storage box. (St John's WR2)
Gifted
Dog/Cat Food storage box - 22cm wide x 40cm deep x 54cm high. Will comfortably take an average large bag of food (or kibble, as I think they call it). Previously used but cleaned out ready for reuse. Dog proof when properly shut but it is plastic and some dogs might have a go. It would be just a good for any other dried pet food (for fish may be) or another granular product such as fertiliser, salt crystals or seed.

Two Steel Garden Chairs (St John's WR2)

Standard Double Draw-Divan Base (St John's WR2)
Gifted
One Standard Double Draw-Devan Base, separates into two light-weight halves for easy handling and transport. There a two drawers in the "foot" half, none in the "head" half.

The overall sizes: length - 1920mm, width - 1370mm and height 400mm. This a divan base only, there is no mattress offered with it. There are clips that fit underneath to hold the two parts together in use and the original bolts for holding an appropriate size of head board are still present.

Garden Chairs X 4, Green (St John's WR2)
Gifted
Four stackable garden chairs in green, weather-proof plastic. These were owned by an elderly relative who never managed to use them, so they're pretty much as new. Said relative is now in end of life care and we don't need the chairs either. They are, as they say, surplus to requirements. They are surprisingly quite comfortable!

Classic Parker Knoll Recliner Arm Chair (St John's WR2)
Gifted
It's time to say 'goodbye' to an old friend. This classic Parker-Knoll Recliner Chair is of considerable age (circa 1980) and there is no longer room for it. During its long life, it has been regularly serviced, the mechanism greased and the fabric/foam replaced twice. The reclining mechanism still works perfectly. The reclining positions are infinitely variable from upright to completely flat. It has even been used as a put-me-up bed occasionally. The seat cushion is loose. All other cushions are fixed. There are removable/washable matching covers on the head rest and arms. The foam is believed to be fire-resistant as of the last reupholstering event but I cannot provide evidence and there is no supporting label. I will wash the removable covers before it is taken. Truly, this has sometimes been a sanctuary after a tough day!

Kitchen Knives, Stainless Steel, Gino D'Acampo (St John's WR2)
Gifted
One complete set of Gino D'Acampo Stainless Steel Kitchen Knives. They've had some use of course; some items used more than others but all completely serviceable. Comes with a wooden block for storage and instant use. Being very sharp knives, charity shops and homeless projects won't take them, so here they are.

Small Frying Pan, 20 cm, Aluminium (St John's WR2)
Gifted
Small Frying/Omelette Pan. This is brand new, a gift, but sadly it won't work on our induction hob because it is aluminium. It will work fine on a gas or conventional thermal electric hob.

Empty Calor 3.9Kg Propane Cylinder (Red) (St John's WR2)
Gifted
Can anyone still use this? It is empty, I promise you. It is just a cylinder. I know Calor want to withdraw these small cylinders but then I heard they had relented so now I just don't know. I was going to take it to the tip but that would be a waste if someone could still use it, wouldn't it?

Offcuts of 6mm plywood or MDF (St John's WR2)
Expired
Hi there, I am looking for some offcuts of 6mm plywood or MDF just to finish off a loft boarding project. (Er no, it's not for the floor!) I need sufficient to produce 7.5 running meters at 242mm wide after cutting. 1220mm lengths preferred but any length would do. (This is to create an upstanding round the perimeter to stop insulation falling into the boarded space).
