Free: Large lined pair charcoal curtains (Handside, WGC, AL8) Gifted Very large pair of lined charcoal curtains used for my living room bifolds until recently. Dry clean only (textured fabric, likely polyester), made by Curtains to Go. White lining, tape top, fitting a 3.7m wave track (pictured the ceiling mounted track, not included). Size of each curtain is approximately 3m wide by 2.4m drop, each with 25 hooks included. First picture shows one curtain partly drawn with the other, lining side out, folded over a chair. Enough fabric to alter curtains to fit a different type of track or pole. Same as 2 pairs of smaller curtains gifted here about 6 months ago. Good condition, a few marks removed by steam cleaning. V slight edge fading. Only offering because they belonged to previous occupant and are too dark for my taste. But good for a cosy winter vibe or backdrop for your Christmas tree!

Free: Strong plastic 4-drawer unit (Handside, WGC, AL8) Gifted Sturdy multicoloured 4-drawer pastic unit on casters with a white translucent frame. This was a charity shop buy about 5 years ago and is still going strong. Size is 42cm deep, 30cm wide, 72cm tall including casters. I believe it is part of the Really Useful range. Could be used for small tools in a garage/workshop, for papers in an office/study or for toys in a playroom. The list is endless!

Modem filter, ADSL splitter. Two wireless doorbells. The first is Blink, video doorbell similar to Ring, but cannot get it to work since I moved house.

Free: Long blackout lined curtains (Handside, WGC, AL8) Gifted Floor length pair of eyelet curtains in a deep blackcurrant colour (cassis). Polyester faux silk with a lustrous sheen, originally from John Lewis. Blackout lining. The pair each measure 167cm wide and 228cm deep, the eyelets are 40mm diameter. In good clean used condition. Only fault is that the fabric is coming away a little from one of the eyelets (see third picture), could probably be fixed with fabric glue, or hidden. They do not fit in my current house so reluctantly letting them go.

Free: Small handwoven wool rug (Handside, WGC, AL8) Gifted John Lewis striped handwoven short pile wool rug 170x110cm, in soft greys and red.

Only offering as it hasn't been used for a long time.

Free: Ironing board (Handside, WGC, AL8) Gifted THIS ITEM STILL AVAILABLE, someone was interested but failed to collect. No timewasters please. If genuinely interested please respond before Wed 17 September. If no takers it will go for srcap metal as soon as it stops raining. Ironing board in reasonable working condition (see picture of it set up, after cleaning it) with a fairly new cover. A bit rusty in parts where the enamel has worn off, but this does not affect your ironing! Ironing surface is 92cm x 34cm, plus iron rest, adjusts to three heights for comfort. Quite heavy. One 'ferrule' is missing, the foot taped, but it stands perfectly OK. I have never managed to find a cover that fits well, so the cover is adjusted with a drawstring. Has served me well, but needs to go because I am looking for something small and lighter.

Free: Framed tulip print + black frame (Handside, WGC, AL8) Gifted Large framed print of Scott Olson blue tulips. Overall size 59cm square. Bought from a charity shop years ago, refurbished oak frame by sanding and varnishing. The label on the back suggests it came from IKEA originally. It is very heavy and recently fell off my wall causing slight damage to the bottom of the frame, needs some attention. Love it but no room for it now so it must go! The black frame is a new one which was delivered with the glass smashed, so needs new glass or perspex. For a picture 30cm x 40cm. Take one or preferably both.

Minus one rubber foot but can easily be taped if you need to protect your floors. Slightly skewed when opened, but it always was, I think it's the way it's made.

You lift the arms to lean them backwards, very easy. The blue cushion needs mending, a small length of seam has burst as shown. They are old but in reasonable condition, the frames are sturdy with minimal rust and the plastic strapping is still strong and flexible. They have not been used for about two years, need a clean. You could buy new cushions to fit as these are a fairly standard size. Please let me know if you want more pictures. Need gone within a week, please negotiate a collection time.

Each roll about 30ft long, 4ft wide. The mesh size is about 3"x 4". Rescued from behind my shed, left by a previous occupant.

Free: Two Ikea Billy bookcases (Handside, WGC, AL8) Gifted Giving away two of the popular and versatile laminated chipboard Billy bookcases. Identical size, 80cm wide x 106cm tall x 28cm deep. Each has two adjustable shelves, The white one also has doors as shown. Built from flatpack four years ago, could easily be deconstructed to build something else. Needs someone handy to refix the backs which keep them true. As the backs have come adrift they are no longer stand 'square' but otherwise in good condition. They have just been moved around too much and too carelessly. Heavy but both should fit in the back of an estate car. Now empty and need gone this weekend as expecting a new bookcase on Tuesday.

The speaker is supposed to sit behind the middle section (approx 25cm x 35cm), other sections can be filled with insulation. There may be a technical name or specification for such things, I don't know. Or perhaps they were made to measure for a particular media set up. A previous owner of my house left the covers, but not the speakers! They could easily be cut down.
