Free: Faux Fur Coat (Rayleigh SS6) Not real animal Fur Coat! It has a large burn mark from an iron on one shoulder which is why it stopped being worn some years ago. So unless you can mend such things, this coat may be good for making teddy bears or toys. Anyone crafty?

Free: An Old Ekco Radio (Rayleigh SS6) This old Ekco radio no longer picks up a signal so if you plug it in, it sounds like it's searching for a signal. Maybe somebody good with electronics could convert it? Or if the innards are taken out, it would make a store box? A collectors item?

4h

Free: Pencil Leads for Mechanical Pencils (Rayleigh SS6) Gifted Different sizes of pencil leads for retractable mechanical pencils. The brown box on the end also contains tiny erasers. These can either be given as a whole lot or separately. Just state your need. (My father was a Work Study Civil Engineer and used these for his technical drawings.) These are not locality confined as I could post them (so long as I don't have to get to the Post Office too often).

Free: A Dyson Vacuum Cleaner (Rayleigh SS6) Gifted But... the motor stopped working, so unless someone handy can mend it for you, it may only be for spare parts??? Just thought I'd ask before I take it to the tip. It is 9 years old. Or you may know an electrical repair shop?

Free: Brown Velour Pouffe. (Rayleigh SS6) In good condition, this pre-loved brown velour pouffe comes in handy for reaching high up places and simply for putting your feet up or resting the tea tray. Seems a pity to throw it away so can anyone make use of it?

3d

Free: Bicycle Pump (Rayleigh SS6) A black bicycle pump going spare as I no longer have a bicycle.

3d

Free: White Metal Headboard (Rayleigh SS6) Decorative white metal headboard for a single bed.

4d

Free: A Lumie Lamp Alarm Clock (Rayleigh SS6) Gifted This will wake you up slowly in the morning as the light gradually becomes brighter. It's one of those special lights that gets very bright. It's really helpful if you struggle to wake up in the mornings. I'm now retired and don't need it any more. You can also set it to come on before you sleep and it will decrease its light output like a sunset. The alarm will go off just like any other alarm clock but I think you can set that so it doesn't sound. Light bulbs can be ordered from a company in Cambridgeshire.

15d

Free: Earring Travel Case (Rayleigh SS6) Gifted This bright pink earring travel case is hardly used and in good condition. It was a present but sadly I've just not used it much and decided it needs a new owner who will love it.

17d

Free: Transparent pencil case with HB pencils (Rayleigh SS6) Gifted A useful transparent pencil case containing lots of HB graphite pencils. Just right for the young person who's always needing stuff for school, or the older person who loves lottery tickets or crossword puzzles.

17d

Free: Garden Planter Tower (Rayleigh SS6) Gifted Green planter tower for growing herbs, alpines, pansies or small flowers. A great space saver for the garden. Water drains from the top section down through each section underneath. I advise filling with a medium loam so that it drains but also holds enough water in the hot weather. Marvelous for a balcony or someone who's just starting out growing things.

17d

Free: Tower Pressure Cooker (Rayleigh SS6) Gifted This pressure cooker is not electric. It works on a hob. You fill it with whatever you're cooking eg. stew, Christmas pudding, leg of ham, etc and slot the lid on. The pressure builds and is let out through a valve at the top. This means the cooking time is less than if you simply heated the job. Great if you're cooking for a crowd. It was my mother's and hasn't been used for years but she left it in a good condition.

41d

Free: Two 14 inch Hub Caps (Rayleigh SS6) Withdrawn Two unused Halfords silver 14 inch hub caps and wire fixings. Spruce up your vehicle or an art installation?

41d

Free: Gardening Wheelie Stool (Rayleigh SS6) Gifted In good working order this Gardening Wheelie Stool is useful for getting down to weed the bed and moving along as you go. I have used it and it did save my back although due to the amount of weeding I got a numb bum. Currently it's surplus to requirement. Happy gardening!

62d

Free: Shopping Trolley (Rayleigh SS6) Gifted Rusty frame at the bottom but wheels work fine. It can carry a load. I've used the frame on its own to move heavy items around int garden. So the bag is detachable. It's all quite lightweight.

68d

Free: Seascape Wall Photograph (Rayleigh SS6) Gifted This seascape wall picture is about 3ft by 2ft. It's lightweight and is canvas on a wooden frame. Makes for a lovely calming atmosphere.

70d

Free: Leaves Picker Upper (Rayleigh SS6) Gifted If you've a lot of leaves in your garden this nifty item saves you bending down so much to pick them up. We no longer need it.

71d

Free: Two Drawer Grey Filing Cabinet (Rayleigh SS6) Expired A two drawer light grey filing cabinet. I can't find the key but the lock does have a key number so I guess it's replicable. In good working order and condition.

284d

Free: Video Storage Tower (Rayleigh SS6) Expired Black wooden video tape storage tower. I was thinking it would also hold plants or CDs. I'm renovating and having a clear out I haven't the room for it.

Free: Plastic Edged Secondary Glazing Pane 3ft 8 x 3ft 9 (Rayleigh SS6) Expired Plastic Edged Secondary Glazing Pane 3ft 8 x 3ft 9 for anyone needing a glass pane or wanting a cold-frame. Please measure the boot of your car before attempting to collect this.

298d

Free: 60/40 Frost Free Fridge Freezer (Rayleigh SS6) Expired White Frost Free Fridge Freezer currently available. 55 inch wide, approximately 5ft 8 inches tall. Salad box and two shelves. 3 shelves in the door. Bought about 2016. One owner. I am currently cleaning the inside which had started to mould up as door had been shut. Remedying that now so fridge will be sparkling inside.

340d

Free: Mr Muscles (Rayleigh SS6) Gifted Want to clean your oven anyone? Two unused oven cleaner foam sprays (Mr Muscle). I can't quite work out how I have such a surplus of this stuff but I have moved house so they must have been in the recesses of my cupboards.

345d

Free: 11 mini empty jam pots (Rayleigh SS6) Gifted These cute mini empty jam pots are empty and with lids. Maybe good for putting small things in e.g. screws, nails, drawing pins, staples, seeds. Or use for paint pots for children's painting activities. I don't need them as already have my own collection. Sorry, I lost the pineapple and ginger one.

345d

Free: Deep Fat Fryer (Rayleigh SS6) Gifted A clean deep chip fryer with basket and handle. Has its own plug. Mum stopped using it because she got a microwave. Anyone interested?

345d

Free: 8Kg Samsung Eco Washing Machine (Rayleigh SS6) Gifted White - 7 years old - looks good. No scratches or dents. Only used by one careful person (me). It's been in storage for 6 months due to a house move (relocation). It's presently right at the back of a storage unit so I can't photograph it yet. I won't need it in my new home. You will need to collect.

349d

Free: 2 Huge Bells Whisky Bottles (Rayleigh SS6) Gifted Obviously they're empty :-) Happy to separate. The third bottle is another make. Maybe good for making wine or for collecting coins in (maybe for charity) Please collect. Betty
