Old extendable airer (St. Dunstan's CT2)
With two side parts that unfold. All in reasonable condition, minus one central segment that decided to make a break for freedom... But still some life in it!
Free:
Hose (CT2)
Gifted
Surplus to requirements, been sitting in the shed for a while, don't think it has any leaks! With Hozelock type connectors on either end.
1h
Free:
rectangular sunshade sheet (St. Dunstan's CT2)
with eyelets in the corners (can be draped over a pergola, for instance). I think it is somewhat waterproof, which is why we stopped using it on our pergola (as water would pool on the gaps!). Some marks of use but no tears whatsoever. Foot for scale, I'd say it is probably 4x2 metres?
1h
Free:
square sunshade sheet (St. Dunstan's CT2)
With eyelets on the corners so you can drape it over a pergola, or tie it to walls etc. Square, approx 3x3 metres (see picture, foot for scale). Material is somewhat waterproof, I believe...
1h
Free:
assorted dumbells (St. Dunstan's CT2)
Not particularly heavy - don't think there is anything larger than 4-5 kg in the set, might do someone a turn? (box a bit dirty from being in the shed, but contents OK!)
1h
Free:
Parallette bars (St. Dunstan's CT2)
As used for gymnastics/general fitness, but owing to them being quite sturdy, I guess you could also use them for DIY work?
1h
Free:
12V oil change pump (St. Dunstan's CT2)
Bought this from Lidl a few years ago... small oil pump which you can use to do oil changes in your car without fighting with the sump plug (small tube goes into the dipstick hole and sucks the old oil out and into a container). Just connect it to your car's battery and off you go 🙂. All working, I just don't have the time to work on my vehicles any more...
2h
Free:
glass panel (St. Dunstan's CT2)
From a dismantled kitchen cabinet door - managed to extract it completely intact! Dimensions approx. 23 x 14 inches. Has some residue from the frame, but should clean up OK?
2h
Free:
two lengths of hose (St. Dunstan's CT2)
As per picture - one of them with Hozelock connectors. Take one or both!
2h
Free:
ceiling mounted light fixture (St. Dunstan's CT2)
With LED lightbulb. Was fitted in our garden room but we changed to a batten unit. All working!

Free:
Ice Cream Maker (St. Dunstan's CT2)
Gifted
Simple ice cream maker from Lidl, surplus to requirements. You need a large enough freezer to place the inner bucket, as that needs to be fairly cold for the machine to work (you should still be able to download instructions from Lidl's website). Worked fine last time I checked, been in the utility room for a while so might be a bit dusty!

Silvercrest Hair Trimmer (St. Dunstan's CT2)
Gifted
Quite old, still powers up (when connected to mains power), battery does not really hold a charge, though. Comes with accessories and its travel case (see picture).

Free:
Wahl Shaver/Hair Trimmer (St. Dunstan's CT2)
Gifted
Good condition, apart from the battery holding charge intermittently - runs fine plugged into the mains. I've just got a new corded one, so this is surplus to requirements. Comes with all the accessories in its travel case (see picture).

Wainwrights Dental Sticks (St. Dunstan's CT2)
Withdrawn
I've got three unopened boxes of dental sticks from Pets at Home - dog took a dislike to them (just after we've multi-bought several boxes, of course 😉). Please message with how many you'd want to take!

Rattan effect outdoor 2-seater sofa (St. Dunstan's CT2)
Gifted
Has served us well for the last couple of years - part of a set with two chairs and table. Table also available, but the chairs had to be disposed of as the frames had rusted badly. The frame on the sofa has some surface rust, but should still last a couple of years more. I've also got some (fairly tatty) sofa covers that can come with it if you want to.

Car Tyre On Steel 15'' Wheel (CT2)
Gifted
Had it as a spare (NOT a spacesaver, but a full size wheel), but I have since changed vehicles, and this will not fit the new one. It is a four-bolt, steel wheel, with a fairly new tyre, with plenty of tread. 185/55R15 size.

Free:
Old Rotary Airer (CT2)
Gifted
Has been in the garden for quite some time, some of the lines have perished, but still has some life left, I think! It needs a ground spike or hole to put it in. Collection Times: Evenings preferred

Magnetic door mesh (CT2)
Gifted
Bought this with the intention of fitting it on our patio doors but realised it doesn't quite work for us - everything should be in the box, but you might need some double-sided tape to mount it, as we did fit it (and then realised it didn't work for us!). Collection from north Canterbury, St Thomas Hill area.

Corner Shelf (CT2)
Gifted
Never installed - all fittings in the box. Collection from north Canterbury (St Thomas' Hill area).

Free:
Silvercrest PC Speakers (CT2)
Gifted
Had these for years, they power over USB. The left speaker has stopped working (it lights up, but audio only comes from the right one). Likely a cable that needs to be re-soldered... might still do someone a turn? Collection from north Canterbury (St Thomas' Hill area).

Grill/Panini Maker, For Spares? (CT2)
Expired
I've had this for years (Silvercrest/Lidl branded). The other day, after having not used it for ages, I plugged it in to grill some stuff (indoors BBQ 😀) and it kept tripping the main breaker, despite warming up, having status lights lit and no obvious problems. Perhaps a simple repair for someone knowledgeable, or a source of parts? It is a bit grubby in places, but was still working fine until the last time I tried to use it.

Switch (CT2)
Expired
Working - was fitted in outbuilding so a bit grubby, but might do someone a turn?
