"Steamy" pet brush (Staple Hill BS16)
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.

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.

Pillows for pet bed (Staple Hill BS16)
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)
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)
Promised
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.

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.

Lots of delicious fresh drinks for clean living. (And if clean living is not your thing, you could likely add a shot of vodka to many of them.)

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.
