Free: Carpet vacuum and washer (Cherry Orchard SY2) Gifted Hoover jet wash 1500W. You can vacuum carpets with it and also wash them. It's got a strong suck as its motor's big. Only used once to vacuum! It's heavy to use as a regular vacuum cleaner and we never got round to washing our carpets. Bought about 10 years ago. Got all its parts - some of them still boxed. It's on castors so can be pulled around - though 2 of them have come loose. Not sure why and are probably easily fixed.

Free: 2 x child safety gates (Cherry Orchard SY2) Gifted 2 x Lindam child pressure-fit safety gates for openings 75cms - 81cms. White. There are screws each end so the gate can be held securely against the door frame. I think you can buy attachments to extend the width of the gate.

Free: Toy xylophone (Cherry Orchard SY2) Expired Toy xylophone with 2 hammers. It also has a button at one end which plays a tune when its pressed. 34cm x 20cm

Free: Feather duvet single (Cherry Orchard SY2) Expired White duvet, size single 135cm x 200cm. It's stuffed with feathers, and made with material which stops the feathers poking through. It's not washable and has got one or two marks on it. It may be dry-cleanable, I don't know. The feathers are enclosed in cells which run the full length of the duvet, which means that there's a difficulty with feathers moving around and leaving cold spots. If someone would like to create more cells by machine sewing across the duvet, that might work. Or someone might like to open it up and use the feathers for stuffing cushions etc.

Free: Toy campervan (Cherry Orchard SY2) Expired Classic Fisher Price toy campervan. Used but in playable condition. Not sure if the little people are the correct ones, and because they are removable, one person is missing! The boat that used to sit on the top is also missing, but I'll look for it. You can see that the inside is a bit battered. Pulls along fine. 31cms x 19cms.
