Free: Brown rattan garden table (for repair) (Sonning RG4) We’ve just replaced our garden table as the rattan has perished down one side quite considerably (see photos). However, knowing how so many people on here are great at fixing things/upcycling, am offering it out to see if anyone might want to come and collect it and see what you can do with it. If no takers over next few days we shall dismantle and take to the tip! It is currently in one piece so you’ll need a large car or van (or come prepared to dismantle). Dimensions 99cm diameter, 75cm tall. Note this is the table only - we are keeping chairs and parasol base. Situated in Sonning.

Free: Tall glass candle holders (Sonning RG4) Gifted These are about 30cm tall. They were a present many years ago and I think might have come from Yankee candle - the candles that fit are cylindrical, approx 5 cm tall, 3.5 cm base (a little wider at the top). Will need some cleaning up as there is some candle wax residue on them. Hopefully someone will make good use of them - they are pretty!

Free: Speakers for iPod (and other devices with a connector) (Sonning RG4) Gifted This is a great speaker set from Altec Lansing that I originally bought for an iPod, back in the day. Works on power and battery. Over the years, it has been used less and less - the connection / dock is still for the old style iPod/very early iPhone but converter docks are easily available on Amazon so that you could use this with a lightening or USB C socket on your so it isn’t necessarily apple specific. Also comes with a remote control (not tested). Full instructions included. The only thing I can’t find at the spacers to change the shape of docking area with different size phones/devices. Hoping someone can make use of this. For collection from Sonning, RG4

Free: ‘Tiny Light’ - clips to book to read in dark! (Sonning RG4) Gifted I’ve hardly used this so giving away to someone who might use more - it uses 3 x AG3 (LR41) batteries which I’ve just replaced so good to go to a new home - you might just want to attach battery cover better as it falls off easily!

Free: Charger for Fitbit Versa 3/4 (Sonning RG4) Expired Just doing some tidying up and discovered this cable for my old Fitbit versa 3. I sold the device a while back but must have missed including this in the eBay listing. I believe this should fit Fitbit 3/4 and possibly a Sense 2 too. I think it works but can’t check this. Hope it is useful for someone!

Free: Pair cat repellers - untested (Sonning RG4) Gifted We are not sure if these work currently - not been tested recently and probably need new batteries. They didn’t deter the neighbours cat who enjoyed visiting our garden for some time so we gave up. That particular cat is no longer around so decided to offer these on Freegle to see if someone else would like to try them out and see if they could get them working. For collection from Sonning

Free: Dragonfly lights - only partially working - for repair/parts (Sonning RG4) Gifted We planned to put these up in our garden yesterday under our parasol but discovered some of connecting wire in light string broken - so only 3 dragon flies light up (of the 10). Any use to anyone either to replace the light string or to use for some craft purpose - the dragonflies are so pretty and it seems a shame to throw away - we’ve used regularly for 6 years and hope someone else can take them on!
