Free: Dawes mountain bike (medium size) (Banner Cross S11) Gifted 34d - Dawes mountain bike - I'd say the size is about medium, so suitable for people from about 5'5" to 5'10", I'd guess. 24 gears, V-brakes. It's been sat in a shed for ages, but everything seems to work fine apart from the front suspension forks which no long move up and down - but that's not really a problem if you're just riding it around town, etc. They might free up with a bit of oil anyway. Fair offer policy applies.

Free: Metal wall planter (Banner Cross S11) Expired 93d - Metal wall planter - about 35cm wide. Attaches to the wall with 2 screws.

Free: Lean-to greenhouse - requires van to transport (Banner Cross S11) Gifted 95d - Lean-to greenhouse. Approx 197cm tall x 188cm wide x 77cm deep. I've taken it apart ready for collection, with all the parts there (including all glass panes intact) - but PLEASE NOTE that the base part has had wood attached to it, which I have not been able to remove. This means that realistically a van is needed to transport it, if this base part stays as it is. Either that, or anyone is free to come and see if they can take it apart further! It has about 6 rusted bolts holding it on which are hard to access. Also, I don't have instructions to put it back together, so this will require some patience though of course I can help give pointers as much as possible.

Request: Bubble wrap/packing materials/jiffy bags (Banner Cross S11) Received 136d - I'm in need of some bubble wrap or other similar packing materials, and also jiffy bags, please. Thanks Free: 5x large house moving cardboard boxes 60x45x45cm (Banner Cross S11) Gifted 138d - 5x large house moving boxes 60x45x45cm. They are flat-packed so need taping up again to use. Good solid boxes. Free: Children's Bicycle for 5-7 year-olds (Banner Cross S11) Gifted 150d - Apollo bike for around 5-7 year-old kids. Well used but all works fine. Fair offer policy applies. Thanks.

Free: Mamas & Papas pushchair (Banner Cross S11) Gifted 158d - Mamas & Papas Kato 2 pushchair - good condition, with rain cover. It's fairly light and folds up easily. The front wheels are a bit stiff sometimes, but other than that it's all good. Suitable for about 1 years old and up.

Free: Woman's Berghaus size 10 coat (not 100% waterproof any more) (Banner Cross S11) Expired 182d - Woman's black Berghaus size 10 coat. The waterproof lining has started coming off around the shoulders (see photo), so it's not totally waterproof any more - still okay for a light shower, but not in proper rain. It's a decent coat for everyday use, so would be a shame to throw away. Note it's a light coat, not for winter use except with layers.

Request: Heavy duty cardboard box (for posting a turntable) (Banner Cross S11) Received 216d - I'm having trouble finding a heavy duty cardboard box to post a heavy record turntable, so it would be great if anyone has one I could use. It needs to be at least 45cm wide, 38cm deep and 17cm tall. Many thanks Free: Children's play mat (Banner Cross S11) Gifted 249d - Approx 120x80cm play mat with a non-slip backing. There are a few areas where the backing has come off, mainly a line on the top left - this doesn't really effect use, though. Collection from Greystones, S11

Free: Pine double bed frame - broken, needs some repair (Banner Cross S11) Gifted 332d - Pine double bed frame - broken, needs some repair - the edge where the slats rest on one side has come away and needs screwing and gluing. It's fixable, but only if you're confident with that sort of thing. Also to note - the tops of the headboard have been sawn off to reduce the height, so those could do with sanding/filing to look neater. I do have all the screws/bolts needed to put it back together. If you just want the slats or just want it for wood, not to rebuild, still do get in touch letting me know. Please note this is big so you need a van/large car to be able to transport it. I can potentially deliver depending where you are. Thanks.

Free: Large box of drill and screw bits with ratchet handle (Banner Cross S11) Gifted 355d - Very large 'Titan' brand box of drill and screw bits with ratchet handle - also some sockets and other bits and pieces. Some are missing and some have a bit of rust, but there are loads here. It all goes into one large black case.

Free: 27" touring bike wheels - for spares/repairs (Banner Cross S11) Expired 360d - 27" touring bike wheels - for spares/repairs only. The rear rim is too worn to use, but the hub and 6 speed freewheel are fine, so could be re-used. The front rim is fine, but the axle seems like it might be bent. The hubs are Pelissier 2000 Professional, the rims are unbranded.

Free: Currys Own Brand White Microwave - working but a bit rusty (Banner Cross S11) Gifted 1y - Works fine, but does have a fair bit of rust - mainly around the door but also a bit inside around the edges - please see all photos.

Free: Black and Decker garden strimmer - working in good condition (Banner Cross S11) Gifted 1y - Black and Decker garden strimmer - working in good condition.

Free: Bike gel saddle cover - unused (Banner Cross S11) Gifted 1y - Bike gel saddle cover - unused. Makes your saddle a bit more comfy - has a pull string to tighten it round the saddle. Never used at all.

Request: Small piece (1x1.2m) of roofing felt for an outbuilding (Banner Cross S11) Expired 1y - Just wondering if anyone has a small (approx 1m wide, 1.2m long) bit of roofing felt for roofing an outbuilding - seems silly to buy a whole roll, and someone might have some at the back of their shed? Thanks, Paul Free: 3x large decorative coat hooks (Banner Cross S11) Gifted 1y - Some wear to the wooden parts, and a bit of discolouration to the metal, but otherwise good. I don't think these have ever actually been used.

Free: 3x brass internal door handles (Banner Cross S11) Gifted 1y - As in the photo - one very good, 2 smaller ones could do with a polish, but otherwise fine

Free: Children's double-sided fold-out easel (Banner Cross S11) Gifted 1y - Children's double-sided fold-out easel. Well used, but still perfectly usable. One side is whiteboard, the other a chalkboard, and you can attach paper to either side. I might also have some whiteboard pens I could include.

Free: Bike trailer - needs minor work (Banner Cross S11) Gifted 1y - This trailer is missing a bolt which attaches on the top of one side (see photo). Also missing the part that you attach to your bike, but these are only a few pounds on eBay, etc. It's well used and quite tatty/rusty, so might be best used as a carrier for loads rather than children, I'd suggest. It could easily be converted to a more hard wearing box-type carrier, for example, if you're handy with that sort of thing. Otherwise still fine as it is, you just need the two small missing bits, and it could do with a tidy up, obviously.

Free: Mavic Cosmos road bike front wheel 1990s (700c) (Banner Cross S11) Gifted 1y - Old Mavic 700c size road bike wheel, still fairly true and bearings are good. Quite nice and light. Could be handy as a spare or if you build up old bikes? I probably have a skewer somewhere for it.

Free: Black compost bin (Banner Cross S11) Gifted 1y - Black compost bin. It's been empty for a while, so doesn't smell, thankfully! I can potentially help with delivering it if you don't have a car, or one that's big enough, but only if you're fairly local to the S11 area.

Free: Vintage Imperial Typewriter, 1940s. For repair/display only (Banner Cross S11) Gifted 1y - Vintage Imperial Typewriter Model 50, 1940s. For spares or repair or just display - the carriage moves, but the space bar does not work, and most keys stick. The front part of the ribbon selector lever on the front has also broken off. Cosmetically average condition, with quite a bit of fading/rust - see all photos for details. So THIS DOES NOT WORK, and it's probably best as a display item unless you really like a fixing challenge! This is VERY HEAVY so if you're collecting you'll need a car to transport it.

Free: KAM DJ Mixer - 2 channels, 4 inputs - NEEDS REPAIRING (Banner Cross S11) Gifted 1y - KAM 'Silver Dwarf' DJ Mixer. I don't recall exactly what's wrong with it - I think the cross-fader stopped working properly. Probably an easy fix for someone? The top of the cross-fader slider is also missing, but this doesn't effect use much. Also has a mic input so could just be used as a mic pre-amp, if wanted - or a phono pre-amp, of course. I DON'T have the power supply, a 12V one is needed.

Free: Canon printer (Banner Cross S11) Gifted 1y - Canon iP4850 printer. It needs a new black cartridge, and maybe other cartridges too, but otherwise works fine. Very good printer, I just don't use it and it's taking up room...

Free: Safety Fireguard (Banner Cross S11) Gifted 1y - Safety Fireguard. Approx 70cm high, and minimum width of 86cm - extends in width to fit any size fireplace. Relisted due to non-collection last time.

Free: Wicker chair - well used but still useable (Banner Cross S11) Gifted 1y - Wicker chair - well used but still useable, there are some bits of wicker missing on the left arm and around the legs/front - so definitely a bit rough around the edges, but still perfectly useable.

Free: Two large suitcases (which fit inside each other) (Banner Cross S11) Expired 1y - Two large suitcases - they fit inside each other which is handy for storage. Pretty basic, so not that sturdy, but still fine. They have small wheels for pulling along. Blue one is approx 59cm tall, 82cm long. Green one is approx 53cm tall, 78cm long. I'd prefer someone to take both, but if you only need one, that could be okay too.

Free: Baby inflatable ball pool/play ring (Galt toys) 3-6 months (Banner Cross S11) Gifted 1y - Baby inflatable ball pool/play ring made by Galt toys. Suitable for around 3-6 months old.
