Free: Greenhouse (Harrogate HG1) I am offering a greenhouse. The taker will have to dismantle it. Dimensions: 251cm x 190cm There is also a wooden trough in the greenhouse, also on offer. It's old, but it might be possible to move it and keep it intact. Also slatted shelving. Rickety, but hopefully also still re-usable after being dismantled and moved. Interested parties are welcome to come and inspect it before committing.

Free: Belt for Trousers (Unisex) (Harrogate HG1) A very good belt. Came with a size 16 pair of women's Brasher walking trousers, but can be used with any trousers which have belt loops. Belt is presumably unisex. Needs a few stitches near one end - I am including a clear photo of this. I would repair it, but the belt is surplus to my requirements. Would be best done with a sewing machine to get good strong stitching. Let me know if you can't see the picture with the little bit of undone stitching. I've tried repeatedly to add three photos but so far only two have appeared on my screen.

Free: Scrap Book For Upcycling (no.4) (Harrogate HG1) Withdrawn Scrap Book (old) (no.4) Dimensions: Height: 36.5cm Width: 24.5cm I started using this as a postcard album when I was growing up, but only filled 1/3 of the pages. The postcards have been removed, but there are still photo corners on 1/3 of the pages (these will come off) and also all the annotations for the postcards which used to be there. All intact. No loose pages. Could be used for an art project, I think, or maybe something else.

Worn during the daytime for 3 days following recent surgery. Freshly laundered, obviously!

The central double page is loose. Could be used for an art project, I think, or maybe something else.

Free: Scrap Books for Re-Use / Upcycling (Harrogate HG1) Withdrawn Scrap Books on offer. These were used by me for my postcard collection as a child/young girl, hence all the annotations (which can have things stuck on top of them!) and photo corners (which can be peeled off). It would be a waste to put these into paper recycling (without the photo corners, of course), when I know they could be re-made into great scrapbooks of whatever kind. Here and there a double centre page has come loose, but of course could be re-attached/taped in - not rocket science ;) A couple of albums have come away from their cover. Ditto. Taker is welcome to choose whichever album or albums they prefer, including all of them if so desired. More photos available. Will send these to anyone who is interested to see more details of any particular scrap book.

Free: Digging Bar / Giant Chisel (Harrogate HG1) Gifted I think this tool is called a Digging Bar. It's a kind of giant nail or chisel. This one is about 3ft or 1 metre long. It's used for thumping hard concrete or even hard earth, to make a hole for a fencing post or to break up hard ground or even concrete. It is barely detectable in the photo, but it is very, very slightly bent. I don't think it is bent enough for this to affect its effectiveness.

Free: Plastic 'storage/tidy/handy' basket (Harrogate HG1) Withdrawn Medium-sized plastic basket. 37.5cm long x 25cm wide (measured across widest parts) Cracked at one end. Does not affect performance! Photos show how cracked bit can be pressed into place and be barely noticeable. If used in a static position, will stay in place. Otherwise, only a small crack :) Surplus to requirements.

Free: King Size Cotton Duvet Cover & Matching Fabric Pieces (Harrogate HG1) Withdrawn King size duvet cover. Good quality pure cotton from Laura Ashley Homemade by me. Can include some spare/leftover pieces of the same fabric if the taker is interested. Enough to make matching pillowcases or cushion covers or whatever. The fabric is in great condition. Home environment has always been smoke- and pet-free. For opening and closing the cover, I fitted it with a very long zip. This has now broken irreparably. A new zip, a series of poppers or a length of popper tape needs to be fitted. Please see the photos showing how the stitching has come undone beyond each end of the zip because I continued to use the cover after the zip had given up the ghost. Fitting a new zip or replacing the zip with poppers or popper tape is a very straightforward sewing job for anyone used to sewing. I am not bothering to do this simply because I can't use this cover size.
