Free: Garden tools (Broomhill S10) Gifted Spade, fork, hoe, rake, broom. All except the spade are old, but still perfectly able to do the job. Is there a new gardener or an allotment group out there who would like them?

Free: Wardrobe (Broomhill S10) Expired This is a sturdy old wardrobe, in a light wood, with marks of age and wear, but with a really good amount of hanging and storage space inside.

Free: Kitchen cabinet (Broomhill S10) Expired This is real vintage stuff - the 1950s, all purpose, kitchen cupboard. It holds an amazing amount, including a space (on the left) for mops and brooms, which doesn't feature on a lot of this type of cupboard. It's served its purpose well here and now it's time to move on. It will need a thorough clean. One handle on the central drawer is broken. Dimensions: width 93 cm, depth 41 cm, height 181 cm. Yes, 181 cm, that's 6 feet. When I advertised this previously, a number of Freeglers were interested in it, and for one reason and another, none of them was able to collect. It may have been because it is large, or because it is on the second floor, but it's still up there. I was told "You could get £300 on ebay with that" . I have looked on ebay, and yes, there are quite a lot of this type of kitchen cabinet or similar, with asking prices of between £40 to £400. (Of course, I do not know if they actually sell!) I am not into ebay, but there maybe someone out there who is?
