Free: Child's cot bed with mattress (Knebworth SG3) Gifted This is a cot bed which converts from a cot to a bed when they're a bit older. The open slatted sides and teething rails add peace of mind and as your child grows, learning to sit and stand, the mattress base can be lowered, with several base heights available, providing extra security and reassurance. Once your little one is ready to progress, the cot bed can convert into a cosy and stylish junior bed suitable for a child up to approximately three years old. *Mattress included.* Note: the sides are fixed in position for safety - they don't drop up and down. Similar to Argos Obaby collection, which is about £130 new (and which wouldn't include the mattress).. This has been used only occasionally by visiting grandchildren. Suitable from birth to 3 years. Suitable for babies up to 20kg. Made from wood. Self-assembly (straightforward, just a few screws). Size L144, W76, H96cm (when in cot mode). Teething rails along top of sides - protects your baby's gums once they are teething and have started to chew. Adjustable mattress base - allows you to lower the height of the mattress as your baby learns to sit and stand. Converts to toddler bed, suitable to 3 years approx.

Free: Ikea Schottis blinds, blackout, easy to fit, colour: black (Knebworth SG3) Gifted 3 Ikea Schottis blackout blinds. Made of pleated fabric these are very easy to fit (no drilling or screwing). Size 100x190 cm, can be trimmed to size. Colour: black. In original pack with instructions, unused. Text below from Ikea website: The fabric dims daylight entering the room and reduces glare. It gives a comfortable sense of privacy as people cannot see in. At night, silhouettes can be perceived from outside when the room is lit. Easy to attach to your window frame. No drilling needed. Can be easily cut to the desired size. You can keep the blind open in the desired position by securing it in place with the included clips. When you want to close the blind completely you can fasten it to the bottom of the window frame using the included hook-and-loop fastener. Designer - IKEA of Sweden Ikea Article Number - 202.422.82

Free: Several cardboard packing boxes and packing paper (Knebworth SG3) Gifted I've got several heavy duty cardboard packing boxes, the type used by removal firms, available. I reckon about 6 to 8 at present. These are collapsed so they're flat and easy to transport, don't take up much space etc - to use them you'd need to set them up and tape with brown packing tape. Estimated size 50cm x 50cm x 70cm (though I could be wrong) - I imagine it's a standard size. Also, quite a lot of sheets of heavy duty packing paper - the type you screw up loosely to wedge out items in the boxes.
