Young brugmansia (angel's trumpets) plants (Jacobs Well GU4)
Gifted
All my cuttings have taken root from last years plant, so I have a bunch of young plants ready to be potted up or popped in the border. These get very large, are not frost hardy and produce enormous, yellow trumpet shaped flowers that give off the most amazing scent in the evenings (they are pollinated by moths in their natural habitat) /

Garden roller - water filled (Jacobs Well GU4)
Gifted
I’ve emptied it to make it easier to transport. Works absolutely fine, paint came off years ago. I no longer have a formal lawn so don’t really use it and don’t have space to make it into a ‘feature’ !!

AeroChamber for use with a metered dose inhaler (Jacobs Well GU4)
Withdrawn
Used a couple of times but then not needed as medication changed, good for kids apparently. Blurb from the internet says: Sometimes if you use your inhaler without a spacer, then most of the medicine ends up inside your mouth or stomach, instead of your lungs, where it works best. The spacer acts as a holding chamber where the medicine sits as a fine mist that you can then breathe in very slowly.

Child cupboard locks (Jacobs Well GU4)
Gifted
I’ve used one of these for a few years to stop my nieces getting into the under sink cupboard (works very well) and don’t need the rest. They’re stick on ones and so don’t require any drilling etc so perfect if you don’t have tools. Can anyone make use of the rest as it seems a shame to just chuck them away.

Wooden pallets (Jacobs Well GU4)
Gifted
Heavy duty wooden pallets that came with a soil delivery if anyone can make use of them. 1m x 1.2m in size and quite heavy.

Almost brand new bottom rack for a Beko DW603 dishwasher (Jacobs Well GU4)
Gifted
Our integrated dishwasher gave up the ghost and isn’t repairable, but it has a new bottom tray and most of the other components are fine (the top rack is very rusted and so not reusable) Does anyone need any spares for their Beko? Update: the cutlery basket has been collected so is no longer available.

Ice cream maker (Jacobs Well GU4)
Gifted
Working and clean, this isn’t one that freezes itself, you have to put the bowl in the freezer overnight and then add the ingredients once it’s out. It’s also quite small and so will only make small batches at a time. I used it to make fruit sorbets with fruit from the garden and it worked really well.

Petrol hedge trimmer - no idea if it works (Jacobs Well GU4)
Gifted
I have never used this as it’s too heavy for me and it’s been sitting in the garage for the past 3 years. I have no idea if it works so who ever takes it will need to know what they’re doing with it. The petrol in there will need emptying as it’s old and there’s what I assume is a new spark plug for it in the box.

Pair of ceramic radiator hung humidifiers (Jacobs Well GU4)
Gifted
These get filled with water and hung on a radiator during the winter months to raise humidity in the room where it’s being dried out too much by the central heating.

Superdrug safety 5 blade razor refills (Jacobs Well GU4)
Gifted
These were bought in error, one of them was used trying to fit it so there’s only 3 unused in the box.

Set of 5 styling brushes (Jacobs Well GU4)
Gifted
I used these when I had long hair ages ago but since I’ve had it cut shorter I’ve no use for them. I’ve cleaned and sterilised them and they’re still in good condition, so hopefully someone can make use of them rather than them get thrown away.
