Free: Rocks (Needham IP20) - Four boxes of chunks of the Scottish Highlands (Moine Series). Unlabelled. My late dearly-beloved and much lamented collected these for analysis for his PhD and couldn't bring himself to chuck them away. The top tray might not belong as they are full of (small) shelly fossils, but what do I know? Take them all, take them all.... Free: Set of white plastic drawers (Needham IP20) Promised - Rather elderly but would be fine for a shed. They were in my kitchen, which has now had a make-over. 68 cm high, 32.5 cm wide (at widest point), 41 cm deep (maximum).

Free: IKEA kitchen left-overs (Needham IP20) Expired - Just had a kitchen re-fit and have a pile of leftover bits (some ordered, some seem random). Includes one complete 40 cm wide cabinet, with door I think. Door is light green. Space needed quite urgently so it's off to the tip on Monday. Free: Under-sink shelves and unwanted contents (Needham IP20) Gifted - The shelves are adjustable (horizontally) and the thing comes with a set of hooks I never could find a use for. Height is approx 37 cm, width as I have it in the photo is 62 cm.

Free: Three marrows, cut today (Needham IP20) Expired - I took my eye off the ball and didn't eat the courgettes fast enough. Result- see photo. If you're into decorative vegetables these are just the thing. I don't guarantee they'll taste of anything but they'd make a nice harvest display.

Free: Oak seedlings needing new homes (Needham IP20) Expired - Thinking of doing your bit and planting a tree? I have oak seedlings popping up everywhere. Some are in their second year. I think they're small enough to survive transplanting and, if you can give them some attention for their first year, give you healthy saplings. They need to be moved on before they get accidentally mown down. Ordinary, robust, lovely English oak. Collect only, I'm afraid- it's a busy time in the garden just now. Bay also available. Free: Kitchen cupboard on wheels (Needham IP20) Gifted - One of Amazon's knock-together items, clean and serviceable. 89 cm high (including wheels), 55 cm wide, 45 cm deep. I didn't bother to fit the cupboard door but still have it... somewhere. BTW the fabric conditioner in the photo can go with the trolley if it's any use to you.

Free: Electric cooker, solid ring type. (Needham IP20) Gifted - Not spotless but not disgusting. Top oven with grill, reasonable sized main oven. I didn't have time to take photos of the cooker but the photo of the label on the back should take you to more details via the Amica website. Cheap but functional- might tide someone over? Sorry, you'll have to collect- I've disconnected it but that's my limit.

Free: Olympic Games Athens 2004, daily programmes (Needham IP20) Expired - One week's worth of the daily programmes for the games. Not in pristine condition- they were carried to the stadium and used, then stuffed in bags when we went to eat- but someone might want to check them out before they go to the recycling bin. They start at Day 6 (19 August 2004) and run Day 7, 8, 9, 10,11, 13, 15, 16.
Free: Musical scores including Penguin miniatures (Needham IP20) Expired - Various- see photos. Externally grubby but all sound. Also various books on music, mostly on indvidual composers. Rationialising space so they must go. Please save from recycling!

Free: Timber odds and ends (shed clearance) (Needham IP20) Gifted - Star item is 12 foot (at least) of 9 inch by 1 inch pine, but there are all sorts of oddments of dowel, moulding etc. I need the space more than I need the stuff. Free: Miele vac. air filter (Needham IP20) Gifted - Unopened box, but so old that I can't find the part number on the Miele website. It's SF-AAC 30; I dimly remember the vac was a Dog and Cat Plus. If anyone can use this I'll happily drop it in the post for you. Free: Steps/chair, mahogany (Needham IP20) Gifted - A metamorphic chair-cum-steps, sound but a little age-worn. The tops of the chair back have been sawn down leaving unfinished saw cuts, so a little tlc is needed to make this a pretty piece of furniture- but it is sound and safe to use.

Free: Bay tree saplings and seedlings (Needham IP20) Gifted - It's the time of year when I notice all the would-be bay trees popping up or growing on from last year, and wonder what to do with them. There are some very nice straight, healthy "treelets" about a foot or so (or 40 cm if you insist) tall. Just the time to dig up and plant on. They will make a tall, glorious tree in time, if you let them, or if you don't have the room, will let you keep them clipped as a bush. You could even keep them in a pot if you really must :) but only if you promise not to clip them like toy poodles. I can drop them off within a reasonable distance of Harleston. Free: Flower/plant gift basket with oasis (Needham IP20) Expired - This came full of flowers at Christmas and might be useful to someone wanting to make up a DIY gift?

Free: Photographic lens-changing bag (Needham IP20) Expired - Changing bag for changing the lenses of your camera(s) without risking exposing the sensor to sand, dust etc. Excellent condition, lay unused in drawer for years. This sort of thing: (but not this precise make). Please don't make me throw it away.
