Request: Barrier Underlay (Princes Risborough HP27) I'm a few metres short of a full shed floor to insulate my garden office (zero budget 😬) and maybe someone out there just happens to have a bit left? Big please, huge thank you if you have...

Request: Rug(s), Carpet/Lino offcuts (Princes Risborough HP27) I wonder if any of you lovely re-users and recyclers might be about to offer any old rugs or perhaps end of project carpet or lino offcuts? I'm looking for pieces starting at roughly a metre squared/ a few feet by a few feet at minimum (or I'll be tripping over edges and corners a lot). They will be used on the floor of a garden 'room' aka a shed doubling as an office, so I'm happy to have a mismatched patchwork of floor covering but am on a zero budget.

Free: Rotating, table top Mirror Ball (Great Missenden, HP16) Gifted 💃🏼🪩🕺🏼Fun addition to the Friday evening kitchen disco. Needs some TLC: some of the mirror tiles came loose and I've collected them intending to get the glue gun out, but never seem to make time. Maybe someone else would like to tidy it up and create their own party vibes. Prompt collection necessary this time due to house move.

Free: 4 Coloured Lantern Jars (Great Missenden, HP16) Gifted 2 yellow, 1 orange, 1 blue Just add tea light candles. Originally with solar powered LEDs which are the lids, and admittedly those have been a little temperamental, but remove the lids and add real or battery powered candles and these are a nice addition to your evening garden or balcony relaxation. I can't keep them as they don't fit my partner's ideas for the new place we're living in.

Free: Box of Suspension Files - Foolscap (Great Missenden, HP16) Withdrawn There's 20-25 blue suspension files here for a filing cabinet. The size is Foolscap - so that's bigger than A4 and suited to an office width filing cabinet. (Not the narrower domestic size filing cabinet you might have tucked under a desk at home). Some are a bit wobbly but still do the job. Most of them have Label Tabs attached too.

Free: Auction Paddles x15 (Great Missenden, HP16) Gifted Collect from Missenden or Risborough. White plastic paddles with black vinyl numbers. While the numbers are random I don't think there are any repeats and these would be useful for little charity auctions, pub table/order numbers or simply as props for school/drama societies. Split collection locations just because I'm moving - whichever suits you. Prompt collection required either way please.

17d

Free: Dressing Table/Vanity Unit Upcycle (Great Missenden, HP16) Gifted Classic, slightly ornate black dressing table and stool. Requires some surface TLC, but is solid and has plenty of life left in it. One of the smaller drawers is missing - but who couldn't use a little cubby hole eh? Some sticker tiles need to be removed and the two flat surfaces need a repaint. A few little chips here and there could do with a touch in. The stool upholstery was recoloured with fabric paint and the new owner might prefer to recover that or drape it with something pretty.

Free: Cricut Cartridges: Cake Decor (Little Kingshill HP16) Gifted 5 different cartridges for different styles of cake decorating using a Cricut fondant cutting machine. If you know or have children check my other posts - there's a lot available and it has to go to the charity shops or recycling centre tomorrow if no one has a use for the items.

28d

Free: Very furry blanket/throw 8' x 4' (Little Kingshill HP16) Gifted Size is approximate. Long Creamy beige 'hair' - or would you call it the pile, like carpet? Needs a little TLC - like a quick comb with a long combe or even a clean rake. Take it and put it aside for Autumn/Winter. Not the best photo of it laid out but I don't have anywhere to display it except my quirky shaped sofa.

Free: Pizza Cloth/Scarf 🤷🏼‍♀️ (Little Kingshill HP16) Gifted Are they pepperoni slices or are they meatballs? I don't know, but this is a tasty yet quite light and floaty table cloth or scarf. It's getting on for 5 feet in diameter so that makes me think table cloth, but it's soft and silky like a scarf. Confusing or multi purpose - you decide. Slight damage near the edge in one part, from being clipped into place. Fun and funky.

Free: Pre/early teenGirls self-care books (Little Kingshill HP16) Gifted For some of those difficult and awkward times in a young person's life. It's sometimes too difficult to ask the adults and sometimes you don't even know what the questions should be. Authors: various, for American Girl (which I think is a US magazine). They do use dollars and some other Americanisms but the principles are the same really.

Sand shaping moulds are star fish, shell and seahorse. 2 spades and 2 rakes and a seive are included. On a separate post I have 2 nets available for catching little critters - might be a good combo? Rock pools? They collapse down with very small handles.

Free: Green Beach/Portable Parasol (Little Kingshill HP16) Gifted Overall height is nearly 6 feet when both poles are put together (they are put together in the photos) but then you would stake it into the ground/sand, so it would obviously be much lower to the ground. The parasol is around 5 feet in diameter. Cover has a carry handle on it.
