Free: Laundered seat cushion (Hitchin, SG5) Belonged to our late armchair. I had the feathers laundered, to clean and plump them up, but changed my mind and decided I'd sew a cover for it and make a floor cushion....then ran out of steam. Any takers? Could be turned into a floor cushion, or used to revamp an old seat cushion. Collection from Gaping Lane, Hitchin SG5

Request: Lazy susan turntable (Hitchin, SG5) Received Hi all I'm looking for a wooden lazy susan (like a round small table top connected to a smaller round piece, with a kind of turntable concealed in between). I've been tasked with making a prize wheel, and from researching it, a lazy susan is the easiest route. Attached pic is for an indication of what I mean (minus the cheese based goodies). I can collect locally and am in Hitchin.

Request: Kettlebell weights (Hitchin, SG5) Expired Hi there I'm starting strength training and am on the lookout for kettle bell weights.

Free: Trundle bed with 2 matresses (Hitchin, SG5) Gifted In good condition, apart from a few scrapes (could be blended with polish?). The bottom bed rolls out from under the top one and can be used at that height, or raised by using the pop out legs. This raises it to the same height as the upper bed, making either 2 singles or a double. We've currently got both the mattresses on top of the pull out bed, and those are included. The top mattress shown was bought separately and is not included. The top bed measures 1005mm wide, whereas the bottom frame measures 980mm wide. So approx 2m width if used side by side. Collection from Gaping Lane, Hitchin, SG5. We need it gone quickly, so priority will be given to anyone who can collect soonest. Please provide a contact phone number.

Free: Fireplace hearth grate (Hitchin, SG5) Expired Not sure what the proper name is, but this sits in front of your open fire in the hearth. Was in front of our old brickette open gas fire, but I'm sure would be fine for all fireplace situations. Made of black pained metal, with little gold trophies/urns to each side. Lower section sits flush to the upper part. I've not described this very well, but it will make sense to those with open fires. Collection from Gaping Lane, Hitchin SG5

Free: Large sansevieria houseplant (Hitchin, SG5) Gifted Large and very congested, this snake plant (a.k.a 'mother-in-law's tongue') desperately needs repotting. Divided up it'll make lots of smaller plants, or could be halved and they'd still both be huge plants. Very easy to care for, highly drought tolerant houseplant, happy in sun or shade. Plant pot included, but not the metal outer pot. Collection from Gaping Lane, Hitchin, SG5

Free: Commode (Hitchin, SG5) Gifted Hardly used and thoroughly cleaned up commode. Adjustable height legs. In perfect condition. Only used for a couple of weeks, after my Mum had a fall. Any takers? Collection from Gaping Lane, Hitchin SG5
