Free: Children's set of paints, pencils etc (Church Hill North B98) 2d - This is a lovely little set of paints, pencils etc that folds up into a hexagonal box. Some of the crayons are missing so can't send it to the charity shop, but sure it must be useful for someone with small children ? Hoping it can find a new home !

Free: Children's books (in great condition!) (Church Hill North B98) 2d - These are all in lovely condition, really lovely books, but I just have to get rid of some as all of my bookshelves are overflowing ! Great stories to share with kids - hoping maybe some grandparents or similar might want them ?

Free: Plastic Cutlery Tray (Church Hill North B98) 4d - As new plastic tray. Nothing wrong with it, I just seem to have ended up with more of these than I know what to do with ! Hope someone else can make use of it :-)

Free: 1000 piece Jigsaw - Missing 3 pieces :- (Church Hill North B98) Withdrawn 46d - This is a really nice jigsaw of unicorns and a lovely coloured sky. It also glows in the dark, which is really cool. BUT there are three pieces missing, as shown in the photo. I clearly can't sell this/ give it to a charity shop with pieces missing, but is there anyone who'd like it anyway ? Such a shame to put it in the bin :

Free: Rings on your Fingers Game (Church Hill North B98) Expired 127d - Clearly not new, and well loved, but still got loads of life in it ! This is a variation on a memory game, used to love playing with this, but best with kids :-D Anyone need to keep small people entertained in the run up to Christmas ?!

Free: Jessops 10.4" digital photo frame, full working order (Church Hill North B98) Gifted 146d - This photo frame is in full working order, and I've even got it in the original packaging, BUT the stand for it has gone AWOL, so you'll need to either prop it up against something, or if you're creative you could probably make a new one or adapt a phone stand. Anyway, I don't use it as I have another one which I prefer, so hope it can find a new home with someone else :-)

Free: Dinky wooden tree ornaments (Church Hill North B98) Gifted 146d - These are so cute, but our tree is just full already and hate that these little decorations are being neglected ! Would someone else like to give them a home ?

Free: Kids road side signs/accessories (Church Hill North B98) Expired 146d - These are new, and still in the original packaging, but that's got quite dirty and sun-damaged so you can't see how lovely the things are inside ! They were left over from my Dad's old toy shop, but can't sell them due to the packaging damage. Would anyone else like them to play with ?

Free: Wooden In/Out tray (Church Hill North B98) Expired 149d - This is a solid wooden In/Out tray - not especially exciting design, but proper solid wood and really nicely made. Any use to someone ? Seems a shame to throw it away :

Free: Electric Candle Arch (Church Hill North B98) Gifted 151d - Lovely Christmas decoration to go in your window - still in original packaging (though it got a little squashed in storage) and full working order. I just don't need it as we've already got loads of lights up ! Might brighten someone's home who isn't up for a big display ?

Free: Jar opener (Church Hill North B98) Gifted 153d - This is from Lakeland, not a cheap copy - used to help open stubborn jars of jam/sauce etc. The idea is that you position the 'loops', one over the glass, one over the lid, then the lever makes it easier to open. Great for anyone struggling with grip/ injured hands etc. I don't need this any more, so passing on to someone who'll make use of it :-)

Free: Wooden Jigsaws (2nd set) (Church Hill North B98) Expired 153d - I've previously offered some jigsaws, but these are some more that I've got to pass on ! Hand made, nice and chunky, great for developing fine motor control etc. Brand new - just not got time to sell these, so giving them away for free !! :-)

+1

Free: Kids DVDs (Church Hill North B98) Expired 153d - An assortment of children's CDs, includes Sooty, Horrid Henry, Balamory etc. Perfect if you want the kids/grandkids to sit down quietly for a bit :-D

Free: Storage box (Church Hill North B98) Gifted 155d - This is a wooden storage box, two sides are clear perspex and slide out to put items inside to display/store. Hopefully useful to someone before I throw it out ?

Free: Crucifix and Candlesticks (Church Hill North B98) Gifted 155d - I think these used to belong to my grandma - found in my parents' attic and don't want to throw them away ! The crucifix is just over 15cm tall, candlesticks a little shorter. Would someone else be able to give them a new home ?

Free: Small upholstered stool with drawer (Church Hill North B98) Gifted 155d - This is only a very dinky little stool, not a chunky thing for toddlers to plonk themselves down on, but I've always thought it was really cute ! There is a 30cm ruler in the photo to give you an idea of size. Excellent condition, just not got anywhere to keep it any more, so it needs a new home !

Free: Random lightbulbs (Church Hill North B98) Gifted 156d - I believe these are all in good working order, but I don't need them as the majority of my lamps now have LED or energy bulbs. Thought I'd check if anyone wants them before getting rid of them, whether it's for a craft project, science experiment, or just to use !

Free: Undersea jigsaws (Church Hill North B98) Gifted 159d - This is a set of brand new jigsaws which never got sold ! Lovely colours, easy to wipe clean, vrey chunky for little hands to practice fine motor control. Images were drawn by an independent artist, not stock images. These would make a lovely Christmas present - only reason I'm not selling them as new is that I've not got time to get to a suitable craft fayre or similar :-D

Free: Little yellow wooden stool (Church Hill North B98) Gifted 159d - Another item made by my Dad (he used to have a Wooden Toy business!!) - this chunky little wooden stool is only little, but strong enough to take my weight if I try to stand on it !! Great to be used by either kids or toys as a table/stool/use your imagination... Hoping someone can make use of this as I've got several of these now and no more little kids :-D

Free: Sturdy Wooden Toy Box with Lid (Church Hill North B98) Gifted 161d - My Dad made this toy box, and built it to last !! We no longer need it, so hoping it can go to someone else just in time for Christmas. The lid is loose fitting (so no trapping little fingers in hinges) and made out of MDF so no nasty splinters or sharp bits to hurt those same little fingers. Really good condition even after all these years - you might want to give it a coat of paint to personalise, but really no need to. Hope someone else can find it a good home :-)

Free: Loads of wooden spoons (Church Hill North B98) Gifted 181d - Lots of spoons here, all clean & in good condition, but a couple are a bit charred from being left too close to the edge of the pan ! Could be used for an art project, playgroup, music, bonfire - or even cooking !! Surely someone can use them ? Happy to split or hand over as one lot.

Free: Kitchen knives (Church Hill North B98) Gifted 184d - Not sure if I'm allowed to offer these on here, but this is an assortment of kitchen knives that I no longer need. I'll obviously not hand these over to anyone unless they are clearly a (responsible) adult. Seems a shame to just bin (recycle) these...

Free: Cutlery - mostly spoons (Church Hill North B98) Gifted 184d - No idea why I have so many spoons and hardly any forks, but these are all in good condition and clean, just no longer needed. Also includes a few knives, not matching, but perfectly usable. Ideal if someone eats nothing but soup and cereal I guess :-D

Free: Mixed kitchen utensils (Church Hill North B98) Gifted 184d - As shown, a variety of kitchen items including corkscrews, serving spoons, tongs etc. Maybe useful for someone just setting up on their own ? All clean and in good, used condition.

Free: Ikea Double Duvet plus pillows (Church Hill North B98) Gifted 198d - I have an ikea double duvet - excellent condition (hardly used - been on a spare bed but no visitors :-( ), label shown in photo with additional details. To go with it, I have a number of pillows, not quite so pristeen, but still good condition. I can even throw in a duvet cover if you want :-D

Free: Vintage child's chair and desk (Church Hill North B98) Gifted 209d - This is a really cute little desk with matching chair. It definitely needs a bit of cleaning/new paint, but is otherwise in great condition. I had planned to upcycle myself, but just can't find the time at the moment and I need the space back. Hope someone can give this a new home and the love it deserves !

Free: Vintage Ottoman (Church Hill North B98) Gifted 209d - I had this put on one side intending to upcycle, clean, repaint etc, but just haven't had time and now I could really do with the space. It's in good condition, apart from looking a bit shabby, so hope someone else can give it a bit of TLC to restore it to its full beauty ! It did fit in a Yaris to be transported some time ago, so imagine it should go in most cars.

Free: Enid Blyton Books (Church Hill North B98) Gifted 209d - Large Collection of Enid Blyton books. Not first editions or anything exciting, but certainly good enough to read ! Hoping someone can make use of them ?

Free: Office Chair (Church Hill North B98) Expired 214d - This has seen a fair bit of use, sometimes in the garage, so it's not as pretty as it used to be, but it's still sturdy, no wobbles or anything. Wheels still work absolutely fine, as does the lift/lower mechanism. Been replaced with a newer model, so this needs to go as it's getting in my way now !

Free: Microwave, good working order (Church Hill North B98) Gifted 216d - Russell Hobbs 800W microwave. Black/shiny exterior. Full working order, nice and clean, just been upgraded to a larger machine so this one needs a new home.
