Free: miniature xmas trees with led lights (Kentwood RG31) 10 little artificial xmas trees with led lights. about 9 inches high with a ground spike in two chains of 5. all the trees light up, but only one of the two transformers work. So you would need to source a replacement transformer to use all ten trees.

Free: 10 15watt coloured party lights and 21 spare bulbs (Kentwood RG31) Promised These are old school, incandescent bulbs rather than led. However for occasional use, you might disregard the power consumption. I stocked up on spare 15watt pigmy bulbs when they became difficult to get hold of. Every time I got the lights out a bulb needs replacing. I see that the two red ones are dead when I got them out for the photo. These are almost antique, they must be 40 years old.

Free: spice-rack (Kentwood RG31) Gifted Bespoke spice-rack 600mm wide 500mm high has been used both wall mounted and free standing on work surface. I've taken a couple of pictures with a ruler so you can see how big the cubby holes are.

Free: Kenwood smoothie juice maker (Kentwood RG31) Gifted Left behind by daughter when she moved out (about 10 years ago) she does not want it, neither do I. It all looks very complicated, but will apparently make smoothies out of anything. You will have to do some research on the internet to find out how to work it, I've not found any instructions.

Free: soft toys (Kentwood RG31) Expired a small suitcase full of soft toys and teddies. Clean (I'd be happy to let my grandchildren play with them) but no CE label so they were rejected by a charity shop.

Free: 1970's stage costumes (Kentwood RG31) Gifted Shirts, blazers, tunics, waistcoats, cummerbunds, hats, a grandad collarless shirt, a DJ+trowsers I think that I've photographed them all against a white bed cover. The last picture is the whole lot in a pile on the blue bed cover. Some are clean, some have grease paint rubbed off on the collars, and the white frilly shirt is filthy (sorry) but as I recall they can be washed on a gentle wash. Does any one remember the "Spotlight" shows in Reading?

Free: Strimmer (Kentwood RG31) Gifted Electric strimmer hardly used. Really only suitable for light work.

Free: dyson vacuum cleaner (Kentwood RG31) Gifted Very old dyson vacuum cleaner. Still a very good sucker! It's been in the garage for years and occasionally used in car and garage, but not enough to justify the space it takes. I freecycled it a few years ago, but got a "no show". I've just got round to trying again to re-home it.

Free: petrol mower (Kentwood RG31) Gifted Wont start. Probably just needs a service and fresh petrol. I now use a self propelled mower and cannot justify the shed space this takes up. I could possibly drop it off in Tilehurst or West Reading

Free: foam wedge (Kentwood RG31) Gifted I think that this is for use on a chair to improve posture. Or help with back pain? I'm not sure

286d

Free: standard lamp (Kentwood RG31) Expired Needs new electrics. Shade is clean, base is sturdy. This is not a working light, it's a little project.

Free: childs flippers (Kentwood RG31) Gifted Size 37-40 M Flippers are OK I'm not sure about the mask and snortle

Free: storage unit (Kentwood RG31) Gifted three plastic drawers in a unit with castors. Seems to be in good conditon.

Free: Clothes airer (Kentwood RG31) Gifted Folded it is about 160x70 cm Open it has about 25 meters of drying rail. There are lots of combinations, like just using the top rail for long items. I got it from John Lewis about 40 years ago. The hooks holding the rails up have been repaired. It has castors. the coating on the rails is in good condition - no rust.

Free: bottle capper (Kentwood RG31) Expired This is a device for putting bottle tops on beer bottles. Left over from my days as a home brewer. Do people still make home brew? Do they need a thing for putting the tops on the bottles?

Free: Petrol Strimmer (Kentwood RG31) Gifted A small 2-stroke petrol strimmer. Gave years of faithful service until modern petrol (with ethanol) perished the fuel line. I've sourced a new fuel pipe (which you can have too) but 2 years later I realise I'm never going to fit it.

Free: Dyson DC04 vacuum cleaner (Kentwood RG31) Expired Very dusty, its been in the garage for years. I think that it would clean up OK. It works, I used it to clean the car yesterday, there is loads of suction. The power cable has insulation tape wrapped round it in a couple places. I expect that an electrician (which I am not) would tell you to replace the cable.
