Free: Swing seats x 2 (Abraham Heights LA1) Withdrawn I had a double swing in the garden - the poles rusted and have been recycled but the seats seem fine - you'll need to replace the rope though.

Many thanks in advance!

299d

Free: Two bags of Pot Pourri (Abraham Heights LA1) Expired The blue one still has a nice delicate perfume, the red is very decorative and will need perfume adding.

Free: Cupboard Handles (Abraham Heights LA1) Expired 10 Left And here are the ones I've replaced (if you've seen my previous post)! 10 bar shaped silver coloured handles. 23 cm long and screw holes 160mm apart.

In fairness I'll give people a bit of time to respond and if you can indicate the number you need I may be able to help more than one person.
