Free: Bouncy castle for repair (Bradford Road, Combe Down) Gifted 47d - It’s getting old and doesn’t have the structural integrity it used to. My boys are playing on it as I type but we feel they need to be constantly watch with it as it is so perhaps there is someone out there who could give it some TLC. There are no obvious rips. It 6ft by 15ft excluding the tunnel to the pump. It’s a bit grubby from storage but has always been in our family. There’s a hose attachment that clips above the slide so it turns into a water slide with splash pool. It’ll come with the pump and ground sheets to go underneath. Please do ask questions if you need to because the condition isn’t perfect!

Free: 50 Roof Slates (Bradford Road, Combe Down) Gifted 54d - These have never been fitted. There might be a couple more than 50 but then there are a couple with chips. They are 50cm by 25cm. With holes to attach in the middle so surface area covered is about half that.

Free: TEAC Bookshelf speakers (Bradford Road, Combe Down) Gifted 91d - A couple of tiny marks on the wood but in good working order.

Free: IKEA table (Bradford Road, Combe Down) Gifted 108d - It’s 118cm wide by 74cm deep. It was our kitchen table and then a desk but no longer needed. A couple of marks from the kids but it could be sanded. Overall doesn’t look too tired

Free: Play castle (Bradford Road, Combe Down) Gifted 112d - Well used by our boys but hopefully still with some play left in it for someone else

Free: Camping cot with sunshade (Bradford Road, Combe Down) Gifted 117d - Little lite camping cot with sunshade meaning can be used for beech naps too. Used by our 2 boys but with plenty of life left

Free: Massive chalk board (Bradford Road, Combe Down) Gifted 117d - Please read before deciding… This was a mirror from Brissi that broke so we just painted the hardboard backing board with chalkboard paint. It therefore only works when hung on a wall. It’s massive. 120cm, nearly 4ft, wide and 147cm, nearly 5ft, high. Some of the chalk pens we’ve used have left shadows so you might want to refresh the chalkboard paint. Or it could be a huge frame. The frame white plaster but as you can see has been used as a kids chalkboard so not 100% clean.

Free: CDs (Bradford Road, Combe Down) Gifted 118d - Everything from Dylan to Roni Size. There’s this box and about the same again in a bag

Free: Large grey lampshade (Bradford Road, Combe Down) Gifted 118d - IKEA lampshade. Roughly 36cm high and 43cm wide at the top. Fixing is for a ceiling light but maybe the sell something to adjust that.

Free: DVDs (Bradford Road, Combe Down) Gifted 118d - The ones in boxes are mostly Disney, Star Wars, Harry Potter, etc. The book is a total mix but more grown up.

Free: Stained glass brass light (Bradford Road, Combe Down) Gifted 244d - This is a wall mounted electric light fitting that would be wired in. It’s 60cm (2ft) tall and 30cm (1ft) wide and weighs a lot. Northern Lights who made it seem to mostly do bespoke commercial commissions so maybe that’s how it started life. I bought it for a project and never used so I’ve not tested but was sold as working.

Free: Toddler car seats (Bradford Road, Combe Down) Gifted 265d - 2 car seats. The newer one is a Joie 360 one. The older one is a Maxi cosy. Both well used by our boys.

Free: Baby swimsuit with floats (Bradford Road, Combe Down) Gifted 1y - One size for a little one. Has 8 foam floats around the middle but like the label says it won’t keep them afloat by itself! Worn by our boys so not new but in generally good condition.

Free: Just over 0.5m2 of fish scale tiles (Bradford Road, Combe Down) Gifted 1y - One full box of pink, a few more pinks and then about half a box (0.25m2) of grey. Came from Victorian Plumbing and still for sale on their website if you want more…

Free: Children’s curtains (Bradford Road, Combe Down) Gifted 1y - The drop is 68 inches (173cm) and with the tape pulled as it currently is they’re each 24 inches wide (61cm) but the fabric at the bottom is circa 49 inches so I guess they could do a window wider than 4ft. Made by mummy mother in law so the blackout layer just hangs behind the fabric rather than being stitched on. Some discolouration to that blackout layer but the curtains themselves look good (but need an iron).

Free: Travel Cot (Bradford Road, Combe Down) Gifted 1y - John Lewis own brand travel cot. It’s been used by our 2 so definitely not new but only stopped using as they’ve out grown it so all still works. Outer bag is very tired.

Free: John Lewis Curtains (Bradford Road, Combe Down) Gifted 1y - Purple with a slight sheen to the material. They have a 173cm drop and each curtain is 220cm wide before being gathered at the top. Come with matching tie backs. Were up for a few years so may not be perfect but look ok to me.

Free: Carpet off cuts (Bradford Road, Combe Down) Gifted 1y - Brand new Grey carpet from our kids bedrooms. There are two pieces, 100cm x 330cm and 116cm x 250cm. They aren’t square but I think those are minimums. Could be used for a small space, insulation or to keep weeds down.

Free: Tutti Bambini baby bedroom set (Bradford Road, Combe Down) Gifted 1y - It’s white, about 10 years old and has seen through our 3 boys so it’s defo not perfect. There are a couple of fixings that come loose and a few knocks, but it also has wear left in it, especially if you fix a couple of issues, like one of the fixings on the back of the toy box. It will need to come apart to get down our stairs.
