Free: Futon mattress (single) (kendal LA9) This is an really good mattress for a single futon. It was a highly quality brand - you can tell by the weight (it's heavy). So it's very comfortable; not thin and flimsy like some futon mattresses. There's a stain on one side (see photo), but the cover is fully removable and washable. Free to collect from the Fellside area of Kendal

Request: Mouse (for laptop / computer) (kendal LA9) Received Does anyone have a spare mouse, in good condition? The one I normally use has become a bit unreliable. Wired, USB or Bluetooth connections all good. Main thing is that it works well!

Free: Tent - Eurohike brand (kendal LA9) Gifted Small tent. Considered a "1 man" tent, but could probably fit 2 smaller people. Rarely used, so in decent condition. It's at least 10 years old, so not as lightweight as some more modern tents. Overall, I'd estimate it weighs around 8-10kg. But it's reasonably sturdy.

Free: Mirror 41cm x 46cm (kendal LA9) Gifted mirror with painted wood frame. There are some marks/blemishes on the glass, so might be more suited to e.g. a garage or shed, rather than a bathroom or kitchen. (Unless the marks can be removed - I'm not sure).

Free: Lakeland blender - **base only (kendal LA9) Expired This is the bottom half of a Lakeland blender. I think it's an older model, which isn't made anymore. I still have the glass jug, but it developed a long crack down one side - so probably not safe to use. If anyone out there has the same 'model', and wants a spare base unit.... let me know.

Free: Clothes hanger/dryer (kendal LA9) Gifted 3-tier clothes hanger / airer / dryer. In good condition. It's not as sturdy as some more expensive clothes hangers: it's perfectly good for hanging lighter items, but not ideal for heavier items (e.g. large towels).

Free: Backpack (kendal LA9) Gifted North Face 'Vault' backpack. PLEASE NOTE: the main zip is intermittently faulty. Sometimes it behaves, sometimes it starts to come apart without being unzipped. So this backpack is probably best suited to someone who knows how to replace the zip. Other imperfections: 1. On one strap, the outer fabric has signs of wear 2. On one side pocket, there's a small hole. otherwise it's in decent condition. If the zip is fixed, it's very usable.

Free: Headboard for double bed (kendal LA9) Expired Headbord for double bed. Colour is white (as per the photo). I'm not sure if it's real leather or leather-effect, but it's got a nice padded feel to it. It's in good condition. It *was* part of a divan bed, but I disposed of the bedframe after it became damaged. So the headboard is now looking for a new home.

Request: Magazines (kendal LA9) Expired I'm doing a research project as part of my work, and would like to reference some recent publications: New Statesman, Economist, Atlantic. If anyone has relatively recent copies that they're not planning to keep, please let me know.

Free: Ikea Kallax shelving unit (kendal LA9) Expired Ikea Kallax shelving unit. Shown here 'standing up' but it can also be used horizontally (in fact, it works better horizontally in my opinion). Structurally, it's in good condition. Cosmetically, it's showing signs of wear and tear - as you can see in the photos. But it makes a good storage unit in the right room/place

Free: Bed frame (double) *repairs (kendal LA9) Expired Divan-style double bed frame, with headboard and drawers. One of the wooden 'joists' (supports) is broken, so needs to be replaced. A fairly easy job. I've cut away the fabric that covers this section of the bedframe, as you can see in the photos. The fabric could be re-stitched after the joist is replaced.
