Free: Small plastic drawer unit (TW3 area off central Avenue) White unit on offer for kids craft items, garage storage, or whatever. It has seen a life but still has life in it. I have cleaned it though it’s been in my house years so is not pristine on the outer surfaces. The drawers have been easier to clean as they’ve been mostly shut over the years I’ve had it and haven’t had anything dirty stored inside. There’s a small crack on one side of the top drawer but this doesn’t affect function. Dimensions are: Exterior- 34cm deep, 23cm wide, 62cm tall Small drawers 7cm deep, Larger drawers 14.5cm deep, All drawers 20cm internal width, 29.5cm internal depth

Free: Runner beans and plum tomatoes (TW3 area off central Avenue) Gifted I have 12 runner bean plants that need to be planted as soon as possible and then they’ll grow much greener and stronger and hopefully give you beans from mid summer onwards. I also have some fairly small plum tomato plants that need urgent repotting to get going. At least 4 should grow away quickly as they’re a bit bigger and it’s worth trying the rest. If someone wants all and can collect tomorrow (Sunday) from TW3 2QP then that would be ideal. Please consider journey time before saying you’d like them.

Free: Reeves acrylic paints (South Hounslow off Central Av) Gifted Having a clear out I found two boxes of acrylic paints. Although some are used many are not. I can’t remember using them but I don’t need them now. Would anyone like them?

Free: Display cabinet & base cupboard (South Hounslow off Central Av) Gifted I have an MFI laminated chipboard display cabinet and matching base cupboard with double doors in reasonable condition to give away. The laminate is a dark wood effect and is printed on the interior of the backs as well. They’ve done us well for decades but we’re going for built in units to maximise space so don’t need these now. There’s also a single door smaller matching cupboard which may become available at a later date but isn’t in this current offer. Let me know if you might be interested in that as well if you express interest in this item. There is a light fixing that is supposed to fit behind the middle shelf in the display cabinet but it’s in a box somewhere since we had decoration done so I may be able to get this to you if required on another date. It may be a fluorescent light (we never got round to fitting it!). You may chose to stick on led lights there if required instead. Ideally we’d like this taken sometime Sunday 7th June but may consider early next week. Dimensions are: Display cabinet Exterior 30cm deep 75cm wide 113cm tall Interior All shelves are 72cm wide Bottom shelf 25cm deep Top & 3rd shelf 19.5cm deep Middle shelf 13cm deep as designed for light fitting behind Top can be used to place objects on too of course Bolts fitted to tops of doors to stop small children accessing contents Double cupboard Exterior 40cm deep 76cm wide 69cm tall Interior Both shelves are 72cm wide Bottom shelf 36cm deep Top shelf 29.5cm deep

Free: Cat flea/tick treatment capsules (South Hounslow off Central Av) Gifted I have two Stronghold plus vet prescribed flea and tick treatments for cats that i have just realised I still have since my cat passed away in January. They expire at the end of July so plenty of time to give two treatments this and next month. Please only apply if you know your cat has been ok with previous flea treatments from the vet and take note of my location so you don’t get tempted to say you’ll come then realise I’m miles away from you and it’s too far.

Free: Tomato plants (South Hounslow off Central Av) Gifted We have 3 spare beefsteak tomato plants and 4 spare plum tomato plants. Plus we have 2 smaller mystery plants which started as self seeded seedlings in a pot. They’re probably a cherry tomato but I can’t be sure. Let me know if you’d like any. Please consider my location before offering to collect plants.

Free: Indoor/outdoor Christmas lights (South Hounslow off Central Av) Expired I have a set of Konst & Schmide 144 multicoloured lights which are only partially working. At least 3 little single wires up to 3 bulbs (there are 2 to each bulb to complete the circuit) have pulled out as I put them on a hedge which clearly caught on some of the branches and yanked them out. I’m sure someone with dexterity and tools could peel back the seal and reattach these wires and probably get them fully working again (and outdoor proof). The lights have various sequence options and the lights themselves are LED. They’re a good make of light so does anyone want to have a go at making them fully work again?

Free: Nescafé Dolce Gusto coffee pods (South Hounslow off Central Av) Expired To fit a Nescafé Dolce Gusto coffee machine these pods make 6 cups of Starbucks caramel macchiato. Use one white and one brown pod per cup. Strictly speaking use by is 31st Jan but as they’re sealed they’ll probably be fine for longer. We bought them by mistake not realising they were the wrong size pods for our machine and I’d hate to have to throw them out if someone would like them. Such a waste. Please someone come to collect them. From TW3 2QP

Free: Charles and Diana wedding bin (South Hounslow off Central Av) Gifted Well used Charles and Diana bin commemorating their wedding in 1981. It’s in a well used state and not especially pristine although the outside looks ok. So I wondered if anyone would like it. I’ll give it a rudimentary clean if someone does.

Free: Tomato plants (South Hounslow off Central Av) Expired We have several spare plants of different types and sizes. Some look a bit wonky but if they’re planted deeply and tied on to a support they will be fine and all should grow away soon and flower if put into a large pot or grow bag soon after getting them home. Let me know if interested and take note of my location before saying you’ll come. TW3 2QP. Types available: Plum (4), Stripey (4), Shimmer (2 only), Black (2 only; these are large and have black flesh when ripe), Beefsteak (11), Honeycomb (3 only)

Free: Curly Parsley plants (South Hounslow off Central Av) Gifted I’ve got some medium size curly parsley plants to give away. I’ve found myself with just too many!! I may be able to give away more than one per person if there’s not too much demand but I can’t guarantee that. So bear that in mind. I have about 5. Please look up my postcode before replying - TW3 2QP

Free: African violet plants (South Hounslow off Central Av) Gifted One purple and white flower plant, one mainly pink flowered plant with a subtle white edge and one dark pink plant (Bob Serbin) with a white edge to give away. I have other purple and white plants but they’re not all this big or in flower yet. If required I could spare maybe 2 more of that colour. These are slow growing house plants and can’t be placed in direct sun or their leaves burn but they do like good light and feeding regularly (& watering) regularly once compost is dry during main growing season (occasional water in winter). They prefer a slightly shallower pot as these are less likely to get water saturated. Medium warmth best. Multi purpose with added perlite I’ve found a good mix. Fairly easy to propagate from leaf cuttings (if you can be patient) but I’ve found flower colour still can’t be guaranteed.

Free: Curly parsley plants (South Hounslow off Central Av) Gifted At least one tray and possibly two trays of six parsley plants are on offer. Ready for potting on into bigger pots. I’d like them collected this weekend or Monday.

Free: Assorted plastic pots (South Hounslow off Central Av) Gifted We have accrued a lot of extra pots we don’t need. Would anyone like these? They are assorted sizes and they’ll need cleaning but they’d be great to grow on plug plants or plants you’ve grown from seed as well. I sometimes use the largest size (3litre) to put a few basil plants in the greenhouse in the summer. They do well in that size. Please note my location before offering to collect. I’m off Central Avenue in the TW3 postcode.

Free: Bubble wrap (South Hounslow off Central Av) Gifted Two carrier bags worth of assorted bubble wrap on offer. Just accumulated too much and need to declutter but it’s the kind of useful stuff someone might want. Please take note of my location and consider the travel time before expressing interest in picking this up.

Free: Children’s stories/music on tape (South Hounslow off Central Av) Gifted Does anyone have a cassette player anymore? Can you use these children’s stories and music? I have fond memories of putting them on for my kids but don’t have a use for them now!

Free: Assorted small hangers (South Hounslow off Central Av) Expired Eleven coloured (purple, blue and green) plastic coated small metal hangers probably most suitable for children’s clothing or perhaps some kind of craft activity or storage solution (eg ties/scarves). In very good condition. Please make sure you are easily able to get to my home off Central Avenue TW3 before offering to collect. There is often someone in so hopefully finding a mutually acceptable date for collection shouldn’t be too difficult.

Free: Assorted bubble wrap (South Hounslow off Central Av) Expired I have accrued a pile of assorted bubble wrap I don’t need but which could decently be re used. If that person is you please collect soon. There’s someone in at many different times so hopefully it won’t take long to find a mutually agreeable date and time. Please note my home is off Central Avenue TW3 so only offer to collect if you can easily get to my address.

Free: Car windscreen wash (South Hounslow off Central Av) Expired I have a virtually full container of car windscreen wash, which contains antifreeze. The label has gone but I got it ages ago from Halfords. I don’t tend to do a lot of miles so rarely need to refill the reservoir between services so this is just cluttering the garage. If you can use it let me know. Please note you’ll need to be willing to travel to Central Avenue in Hounslow to collect it. My road is off that road.

Free: Giant toy husky dog soft toy (South Hounslow off Central Av) Gifted Very large soft husky dog toy won in a fair a few years ago. Now my daughter is tidying things away and this can go to a new home. Fantastic toy for any child or perhaps good as a raffle prize in a school autumn or Christmas fair. One slight mark on left leg. May well sponge off very easily. Hardly noticeable anyway. Collection Monday or Tuesday this week or early Wednesday morning. Or next Sunday afternoon.

Free: Curver lidded lion face bin (South Hounslow off Central Av) Gifted Lidded lion face bin by Curver. In perfect working order. Used and well loved for many years in my children’s bedroom but now needs to go to a more suitable home. It has been as thoroughly cleaned as I could manage. They are still sold from new I believe

Free: Tomato plants (South Hounslow off Central Av) Gifted It’s not too late to try growing some, or a few more, tomato plants. I have some spare if you’d like of various sizes due to the container size they’re in. Hopefully they’ll grow away once they’re in a bigger pot or grow bag. Why not give them a go? They’ll need planting out/on as soon as possible though. I have small plants of the types 2 honeycomb (a sweet cherry which I think is orange; really gorgeous flavour), 9 plum tomatoes (great for sauce and cooking), 7 Shimmer. In medium plants I have 1 moneymaker and in large I have 1 Stripey (slightly striped markings), 1 Black (once ripe they are black but with a dollop of red at the top). Let me know how many and of what type you’d like. Ideally would like to have them collected during the weekend but I realise this post may not reach you in time for that so also tell me when you could collect. Please take note of my location and consider whether you can easily collect before saying you’d like some plants.
