Free: Old Water Butt (Parkstone, Poole, Dorset) We've replaced our water butt as needed one with a stand, so this is available. It was an old fertiliser drum which was repainted, have used for more than 10 years, paint coming off. With tap and overflow holes at the top. Still holds water fine but as you can see not pleasing on the eye! Whilst we have drained it, you will need to clean it out inside.

Free: Mixed Toiletries, Cosmetics (Parkstone, Poole, Dorset) Gifted Some travel shampoo, face toner, eye shadow, lipstick, blusher brush, exfoliant and a small toilet bag. Most not used, the toner has been. The make up is older, so perhaps don't consider if you are worried about skin reaction.

Free: GBC DocuSeal Laminator (Parkstone, Poole, Dorset) Gifted This has been in our loft for ages so it's a bit dusty. Just plugged it in and the green light came on and it sounded as though it was working. Don't have any laminating pouches to test it though. Should be OK, only lightly used a few years ago.

Free: TVP - Savoury Mince (Parkstone, Poole, Dorset) Expired Bought this dried textured vegetable protein just before Christmas. There's around 400g left as I only used one lot to do some batch cooking. We didn't really enjoy it, so we're sticking with chicken mince! Hope someone on here will have a better idea of how to use it successfully. In date until July 2025.

Free: Mixed Single Earrings, Fasteners (Parkstone, Poole, Dorset) Expired There's 70+ earrings here, they are nearly all single ones, but there might be a couple of pairs - clip on, screw on and pierced. Also 3 little bags containing butterfly fasteners from vintage earrings and a few pierced studs (might find a matching pair or two in there too) - most of these will be vintage, some are broken, ideal for crafting or creating something new if you are creative (not like me!)

Free: Regatta Red Travel Bag (BH12) Expired Older bag which we've used as a back up for travelling. Red, working zips, two pockets, shoulder strap. It is a bit marked and the carry straps are faded/discoloured, but this might suit someone for carrying work tools or something which you wouldn't want to use an expensive bag for.
