Free: Wide Fridge Freezer (Great Missenden, HP16) Gifted This fridge freezer works, it has a full set of internal shelves, pull out shelves, bins and door balconies. The water dispenser works - requires plumbing in and a water filter for this feature, and for the internal ice maker*. The *ice maker is not currently functioning and we had a bit of a drip out of the bottom around the time the ice maker stopped working but an appliance engineer should be able to fix it - as well as plumb it in. It is in really good condition for its age - just a couple of dings on the outside, but it's age, + the ice maker fail, + a refurb going on around it, means it has to go - and before the weather turns because we have no where to store it except where you see it in the picture. It is slightly deeper than average, EDIT: measurements are 90cm wide x 178cm tall x 72cm deep (Depth includes handles out front and some things at the bottom behind it).

Free: Double Bed + 2 mattresses (1fm,1sp) (Great Missenden, HP16) Gifted Standard 4 ft 6 double. Metal and wood base, cream leatherette covered sides and headboard. Visually showing some age but a bit of cream cleaner should bring it up nicely. The bed has 2 mattresses: one is sprung and the other is memory foam. The memory foam mattress suffered some spills but the cover zips off and I believe it can be washed. The marks are not great I admit but a proper mattress cover which you might use anyway would make that irrelevant. We are a non smoking household and not smelly people (as far as we can tell 😆).

Free: Sony Stereo HiFi 4 Parts, Radio OK (Great Missenden, HP16) Gifted 🪛📻🔧 The radio still works and I was told the CD player just needs a run through with a disc cleaner. Other than that offering it as seen in the pictures. I haven't dumped this yet in case a repair enthusiast could use it as a donor for parts. Sony CFD-515 - main body only, no speakers.

Request: Old Anonymous Photographs (Great Missenden, HP16) Expired I'd like to give them a new purpose. Hi Trashers, Freeglers and Cyclers, - Pre-1960's (ideally but not exclusively), and sepia/black and white would be particularly of interest. - Subjects including people/portrait photos, rural/urban/suburban/industrial scenery, objects even - anything that really seems from a much earlier time or way of life. No limit really, just anonymous/forgotten people, interesting times/places/activities. - For creative based projects - collages, inspiration and portraiture exercises (art therapy). I think it's better than putting the traces of real lives through a shredder or into landfill. Please note:- if some (not all) are particularly interesting I might make them available via a suitable sharing platform online for community interest or other platforms that offer a profit incentive - depends on what type of interesting they are. This might help me a little financially as I am a carer with restricted opportunities to go out and work outside the home for any useful period of time. - I have quite a lot of flexibility for collection times most days, however I might be limited on how far I can go depending on my care duties that week. Thanks for reading. [ Items received in response to this request will be resold ]
