Ikea curtain tracks (Staple Hill BS16)
I have no idea which windows I even imagined I'd use these on... they don't seem an appropriate size for any in this house. So these are 2 brand new, still in their shrink wrap (save for 2 spots where being left in a slightly damp shed had had an unfortunate impact on the nice compostable packaging, so I've despatched those to the bin) IKEA Vidga curtain tracks with - to the best of my knowledge) all bits and pieces untouched. And one curtain track of a different kind (definitely Ikea, but the wrapping is gone so I don't know which specific product it is) with 9 curtain hooks. Prefer they go together.

"Steamy" pet brush/cat repellent (Staple Hill BS16)
Withdrawn
The social media ad (I know... should know better) gave the impression that this produced steam, and would magically render my cat willing to let me touch her gorgeous fluffy tummy. It did neither of those things. It produces a mist (not steam), but it's not warm. It also produces a quiet hissing sound, which sent my wussy cat and her fluffy tummy running for the hills. Video screenshot from the ad included as proof that other cats may love it). Luckily it didn't cost much, so I'm happy to give away almost brand new. Prefer collection this weekend but could leave by the front door for collection during the week if no one says they can take it sooner.

Shower head. New, we think (Staple Hill BS16)

Not a speck of scale on this, so we think it's probably never been used. Found in the same she'd as the box of fluouro tube lights. Plastic, not metal.

Beldray 2-in-1 Stick Vacuum (Staple Hill BS16)
Gifted
Like a cordless vacuum, but it's not cordless, so you won't have to be constantly recharging halfway through a room! I was surprised at what a decent job it does. It's not as powerful as a full-sized vacuum, but it's not a full-size vacuum, so that seems fair enough, now, doesn't it? It was perfect for my office. I don't have the office any more, so no need for the little vac. I've cheekily snapped some screen grabs of a shop's listing online for the same item. It has all the relevant specs, I think.

Cat toy for lazy humans (+ bonus) (Staple Hill BS16)
Gifted
The fish is somehow movement/contact-activated and will flounder about when disturbed, givingyour cat hours of amusement with absolutelyno effort from you (except possibly to film it for TikTok... this could be how you finally go viral, kids!) Happily, you do have some agency here, should you wish to exercise it... fishy - who takes one of those small disc batteries - has an on-off switch so you can cut off the fun at bedtime. Oh. And there's a pocket thingy for some catnip. That could be handy when you decide to try out the bonus "steamy" (misty) brush on your exhausted moggy.

They've compacted over time so we replaced them. Cats or dogs would still likely think they were fine. Prefer collection this weekend but could leave by the front door for collection during the week if no one says they can take them sooner.

Cosy fleece (Staple Hill BS16)
Withdrawn
One size fits all. It's enormous so probably really does. It is super cozy giving it away as I don't think my dignity can withstand the neighbours seeing a middle-aged dame wandering around in a hooded fleece with stars. Prefer collection this weekend but could leave by the front door for collection during the week if no one says they can take them sooner.

Bike carrier for car (Staple Hill BS16)
Gifted
Hollywood Racks is the brand. Although that may conjure up images of silicone, this rack is sturdy metal. I don't know much about it tbh... we got it from a freecycler thinking we'd go on camping trips and take our bikes. We don't, it turns out. We've never even fitted this to our car. It looks like it has all the bits it should. It definitely has all the bits it had when we got it. It also has the look of a thing that's been sitting in the shed, but as it's really only the vehicle tailgating you that will notice, I wouldn't imagine that's important.

Working power drill (Staple Hill BS16)

No bells/whistles needed... am looking for one that I can affix a mixer blade to for mixing clay slip and glazes, so all it needs to do is spin.

Mid-century upcycling project (Staple Hill BS16)
Gifted
Fantastic upcycling/restoration project. Vast majority of the sanding has been done to reveal the original beechwood frame. 1940s/50s (estimate) Seat cushion is comfy. Back will need padding. Joints would benefit from dismantling and re-gluing. Particular weak spots have been photographed. Please propose collection time when replying.
