A raised toilet seat, a raised small for use in shower (Pitchcombe GL6) Withdrawn My dear man has just had a very major operation and is about to come home after 11 days in hospital. He is still struggling to wash himself in the shower without grab rails or walking frame as stomach muscles are dreadfully bruised and sore from operation. So lowering oneself onto toilet seat or sitting to enable near proximity to wash legs and feet is still tricky. So a stool or walking frame to steady himself and a raised seat so it's not so far to sit down for toilet would be jolly handy. Has anyone got anything like that that they no longer need or use please?

A 66 bottle Wine Rack (Pitchcombe GL6) Gifted This wine rack is still useable despite having seen better days. A paint and a bit of a mend would help but most of it is still absolutely functional and worthy of being used. My thoughts were perhaps there was a keen wine/ cordial maker who gets empty bottles and needs somewhere to stack them out of the way in the garage or shed. If no one responses then sadly I will have to take it to the tip which is a real shame but my garage will be demolished soon so no where to put it in the house. Had I a pantry in the house I would have done it up and brought it indoors!

Ex conservatory Wooden windows in good order. (Pitchcombe GL6) Gifted I have about 4-5 ex conservatory exceptional quality wooden white windows made of some kind of hardwood that withstands wet conditions! There is no glass with it so this will need to be factored in. The space is suitable for double glazing easily. I used what I needed for my orangery to save money and had new windows fitted. If you would like to create your own outdoor room, now's your chance to make them. Two I think are long floor to ceiling and about 40cm wide and 3 I think are about 195 cm by about 79cm so nice sized windows. I haven't measured them for accuracy as it's raining and too heavy for me to move! You are welcome to view but best done as soon as possible as will need to get rid of them as am having my decking replaced around my summer house. They are currently sheltering under cover of plastic or under extension of summer house roof.

Greenhouse shelving. (Pitchcombe GL6) Withdrawn I have at least 3 greenhouse metal pieces with green plastic to insert metal rods for support. shelving units with netted style shelves. I may find more if you require more. They are not brand new but still serviceable. I cannot dissemble them so a big boot would be useful. Each shelving unit has 4 shelves and they stand individually but you may wish to secure them to each other for extra stability if you are planning to put loads of stuff upon them. No photos as we all know what greenhouse shelving are like!

A variety of plant pots large approx 7-9" wide to small pots (Pitchcombe GL6) Withdrawn All colours brown, black, grey and green. No photos as we all know what plant pots look like! I have at least a couple of dustbin bags full all stacked inside each other for the most part as I like orderliness! In one large bag I have lots of big pots mentioned in title! I won't be planting out anything this year in pots as too busy. I can split if desired. I'm easy to find and can give details if you let me know which direction you are coming from so I can give you detailed instructions. I am just a mile and a half north of Stroud just off the A46 by about 40 metres up hill. and near to the A4173 exit off A46. Please note I am deaf and cannot hear on phone as was deaf from birth. Contact is easier on here and I can give you precise directions as postcode will have you stranded in the village 100 metres plus from me at least! Looking forward to hearing from keen gardeners or keen gardeners to be!

Dyson Vacuum (Pitchcombe GL6) Gifted Grey clear vacuum in full working order with a carpet/floor cleaner but no added cleaning implements. It needs a good clean as grubby from being in the garage. It has a label saying 'root cyclone technology DCC OB Allergy for cleaner expelled air. As it is been in the garage I wouldn't like to be categoric about that! Sorry no photo as can't get my phone to send it to the computer this afternoon. Needs picking up ASAP or it will go to the tip on Friday.

Thanks very much.

Spin Dryer (Pitchcombe GL6) Gifted White, Indesit model, works very efficiently but as it starts up it usually needs a hand on it to stop it walking around but usually once spinning it stays put. That is common with a lot of spin dryers from my own experience! It is rusty but still looks white but enamelling is showing signs of rust beneath. It is a good stop gap if your washing machine has broken and then you can either pass it on or ditch it. Sorry no photo as phone wouldn't transfer to computer this afternoon. Must be having a nap! PLEASE NOTE IF YOU WANT IT..... when you let me know you want it, please tell me what time prior to Friday lunch time as after this point I'm ditching it at the tip as I'm on a decluttering mode! Thanks very much.

Single 4.5 tog duvet (Pitchcombe GL6) Gifted It has got signs of a few little dog hairs! Clean other wise.
