Free: DIY natural pest repellent (W2 - Notting Hill Gate) Ingredients: Vodka, vinegar, tea tree oil I made it a while ago but don't need it currently and where I'm moving to shouldn't have any issues either.

Free: Variety of Ribbons in a shoe box (W2 - Notting Hill Gate) Various ribbons of different colours in a small shoe box

Free: British Army Poncho / Shelter (W2 - Notting Hill Gate) Promised Olive green, water proof - It's in great condition and made of super sturdy fabric. Works as a tarpaulin but has the hood-bit if needed as a poncho. The only thing is, I would probably only use it outside or give it a good air out if using indoors, as it has a bit of a musty smell (no visible signs of degradation /damage).

Free: HG odour eliminators (W2 - Notting Hill Gate) HG odour eliminator for all surfaces (spray bottle) HG air neutraliser for all bad smells (spray atomiser bottle) These products really work - I have used the odour eliminator for surfaces to transform a tobacco smell infested wooden frame to completely odour free, and the air neutraliser to get rid of moth ball smell in a closet. I sound like an advertisement but I couldn't believe how well these things worked! I am moving house and can't think of any smells I need to get rid, so donating these for good use. Both bottles about half full, the air neutraliser may have a bit more in it.

2h

Free: Listerine mouth wash (W2 - Notting Hill Gate) Gifted Listerine Cool Mint, half a bottle left. Left by a flatmate and I don't have a use for it!

16h

Free: DIY Mouse repellent spray (natural) (W2 - Notting Hill Gate) Promised Ingredients: 1.5% peppermint essential oil + natural Beauty Kitchen hand sanitiser + Vodka It is in a 100-200ml glass bottle (not in a spray atomiser though, so you'd have to transfer if wanted to use as spray). I made it when we had a rodent issue but not longer needed!

Free: Natural Deodorant stone (W2 - Notting Hill Gate) Gifted I received this as a gift but since I don't really have use for it am passing it on where it can be of good use! So it is fresh, unused :-)

75d

Free: Tincture Bottles & salve jars (W2 - Notting Hill Gate) Expired They need a wash before use, I have been using them for home made botanic tinctures and they are food grade. Am not in the habit of making these currently so giving away for someone with current craftsy projects :) Tincture bottles may have some remains of previous tinctures but to make a new batch you'd have to wash and sterilise them anyway. Any salve jars are clean but I haven't sterilised (boiled) them.

Free: Marine themed wall art (W2 - Notting Hill Gate) Expired I made this a long time ago it has been on my wall since, but now it's time to redecorate so passing on to someone else :-)

216d

Free: Packing materials (W2 - Notting Hill Gate) Expired Foam curls for packing more delicate things into parcels etc. Between 10-15L of them. The cardboard box they are in is also free to go along if you need it.

Free: First aid supplies (W2 - Notting Hill Gate) Expired I've got some first aid supplies spare - some still good for use, some maybe for first aid practice purposes: Things like micropore tape (thickest is 5cm thickness!), zinc oxide tape, gauze rolls (some or all may have expired but these would be good for first aid practice and personally I've still used them for my own first aid kits), foil blankets (again, they may be out of date so good for practice or potentially for other DIY purposes - I've opened a couple though recently and they were still fine). I used to work in leisure and there was always expired but completely useable gauze rolls etc going spare - hence the supply! I haven't yet sorted out the bag I would give you, hence no picture (having interest is a good incentive for the sort-out). It'd be a small bag but way too much for my needs and my small room :-) I may even have a small, empty first aid kit bag that is unused. Any questions just ask. Have a fab day!

Free: Carpet runner / cutoff (W2 - Notting Hill Gate) Gifted I've got a beige unused piece of carpet that is approx 196cm long by 78cm wide. I received this runner shaped cutoff from another Freecycler. However I no longer need it as I found another solution that is more suitable for my space.

Free: Peppermint Essential Oil 30ml (W2 - Notting Hill Gate) Gifted Unused, unopened, in original bottle & cardboard box. Brand MIAroma. For on-the-skin purposes it does expire October this year but for applications like candle diffusers or house cleaning products you can most likely use it for longer. I used this to repel mice and for that kind of thing it'd still be OK too, my current place doesn't have an issue so no longer need it.

Request: USB to USB cable (W2 - Notting Hill Gate) Expired I'm looking for a USB to USB cable as I have lost mine (I use it to charge my night light). I'm aware there are lots of disused cables kicking around in people's drawers - so if you do have one you don't need and are happy to donate, I'd be so grateful! It feels a shame to buy a new one if I can give use to something that would otherwise be abandoned /a nuisance somewhere else. Thank You :)

Request: Dishwasher powdered detergent (W2 - Notting Hill Gate) Expired I would just need a little bit of powdered form detergent used in dishwashing machines - I don't have a dishwasher myself so buying a whole tub would not be practical. I have some fine metal mesh sprouter lids that need a heavy duty washing detergent at times. 200ml powdered detergent would go a long way, but even less will do :) If you are located near W2 that would be ideal. Thank you very much in case you read this and are able to offer some for me!
