Free: Yoga mat (Stockwood LU1) I've hardly ever used this yoga mat - I bought it for a holiday and never really took it up - so someone might make better use of it. There's some bleaching of the strap, but the mat is OK (and I don't have a clue how the strap is supposed to work). Collection: generally 10:00 - 16:00 weekdays or evenings at the weekend. Fair chance policy applies.

Free: Garden Chairs (Stockwood LU1) Gifted I've been having a bit of a clear-out, as regular readers may know. It's the wrong time of year, but still... I've got a couple of wooden garden chairs (with arms) that are taking up space and collecting dust. (The picture includes the dust for realism.) Both are in good condition, but one does have a bit of a chip. The chair is normal size - it looks a bit strange in the picture, but that's just the angle. Collection is likely to be next weekend (Fri 9th - Mon 12th October), with the best story winning, if there's more than one (so it's not first come, first served.).

Free: Ice bucket (that could double as a vase) (Stockwood LU1) I'm having a bit of a clear-out as cupboards have got a bit too crowded. This is a glass ice bucket - about 25 cm tall - but it's also doubled a vase in its time. Collection can be midday-ish during the week, or evenings at the weekend. (I'll need an approximate time as I can't stay in all day.) Not for resale.

27d

Free: Drinking glasses (random) (Stockwood LU1) I'm having a bit of a clear-out (What do you mean, about time!) and I've got some surplus glasses. They don't match - well, some of them do but they're not a set - but if you need a few extra for the festive season (I'm not festive so I don't need to worry about having them). They're not special, but they hold liquid, so what more do you want? Collection can be midday-ish during the week, or evenings at the weekend. (I'll need an approximate time as I can't stay in all day.) Not for resale.

Free: Large white shallow dish (available again) (Stockwood LU1) Gifted I'm having a bit of as clear-out - and this is taking up a lot of space. It's a large - about 33 cm - white ceramic. It's also dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe but if you can fit this in your microwave or dishwasher, you're a better man - or woman - than me. Collection can be midday-ish during the week, or evenings at the weekend. (I'll need an approximate time as I can't stay in all day.)

31d

Free: Chrome towel rail (Stockwood LU1) Gifted My clear-out continues! I've moved to hooks to give me more room, so I've a chrome towels rail available. It's got a solid base so it doesn't fall over, and it holds towels - I'm not sure if you need to know anything else. Collection: I'm normally around the middle of the day during the week, late afternoon/evening at the weekend.

32d

Free: Laser printer (Stockwood LU1) Gifted My clear-out continues! It's a Samsung colour laser printer. I've not needed it for a while, which is why I'm getting rid of it. It was working fine for me the last time I used it (connecting can be temperamental, but I think it's true for all printers. The black toner is getting low - the rest have quite abit left - so I thought I'd offer it now so if anyone wants it they can test it out before the black runs out!) HEALTH WARNING: it weighs a ton. It's definitely would need collecting by car. Collection: I'm normally around the middle of the day during the week, late afternoon/evening at the weekend.

Free: Packing pellets (Stockwood LU1) Withdrawn I've a box that is about 25cm x 40cm x 25cm that is 2/3 full of packing pellets (or whatever you call them). I could was them away, but if anybody us near London Road and could use them, give me a shout. Thanks.

56d

Free: Insulated Bag (Stockwood LU1) Gifted It's an insulated bag, useful for transporting things and keeping them cold or frozen. In this weather, it could be useful for a trip to the park. It's about 22 cm × 27 cm x 30 cm. Pick-up only from Stockwood Park area.

81d

Free: Towel Rail (Stockwood LU1) Expired Could anybody use a towel rail? (I've moved on to hooks to save space.) It's chrome effect. There's very slight sign of tarnish but a bit of Duraglit would solve that. Collection this weekend or next. Not for resale.

129d

Free: Small plastic plant pots (Stockwood LU1) Expired I know it's probably the wrong time of year, but if anybody needs a load of small ( 8 - 10 cm) plastic plant pots, I've got loads. They're mainly grey, although a handful are terracotta colour or black - even pink. If you could use them let me know.

133d

Free: Solar bird bath fountain (Stockwood LU1) Expired It seemed like a good idea, but it squirts all over the balcony - and that's not a good idea. It's 15 cm in diameter, and it floats. It's solar-powered, so a bit hit-and-miss but should be OK in summer. If I can find them, there are different nozzles. I know I put them somewhere safe... Not for resale. Collection either this weekend or next. (Other times by negotiation.)

135d

Free: Cake tin (Stockwood LU1) Expired It's a cake tin. Stainless steel with a transparent lid. (I'm trying to avoid cake!) Collection: this weekend or next. Not for resale.

135d

Free: saucers for plant pots (Stockwood LU1) Expired PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST BEFORE RESPONDING. I'm having a bit of a clear-out and I have some saucers for plant pots that are surplus to requirements and just taking up room. They are ceramic or terracotta, and generally about 22cm. They are: Light blue (3) I may have one matching pot for that. Dark blue (3) Black (2) These are for gardeners only not for resale. Collection will be either this weekend or next - and we'll need to agree a time. (No, I can't wait in all day, just in case...!) If you're interested, let me know which ones you'd like.

Free: A bag of bubble wrap (Stockwood LU1) Expired I've got a large bin bag full of (used but still usable) bubble wrap. Some of it is large bubble, some small. It's not worth travelling for but if you're close to London Road and need to do some packing (or you're just stressed and want to pop bubble wrap), this might help.

142d

Free: Mint plant (Stockwood LU1) Gifted I've got a spare mint plant. It's the normal mint for cooking. It can go in the garden in in a pot.

148d

Free: Spider plants (Stockwood LU1) Expired Sit down with a cuppa for this one. I've got loads of spider plants. I mean loads. I never meant to have this many - and the plants are having baby spider plants. And they take up even more space. I have small plants. Medium size plants. Big plants with lots of babies. I need to part company with some of them. I need the space to be honest - I'm in a flat not a palace. I may want to keep the pots, so it’s probably the plants only. THESE ARE NOT FOR SELLING ON. If you're interested, let me know what sort of size you might be looking for. If there's lots of interest, I'll share them out. Believe me, if you get one you'll soon have dozens of the beggars. I'm going to give it a few days, so please don't try to rush me saying you'll come today. It’s likely to be this weekend or next. Unless the triffids - I mean spider plants - decide otherwise. I'm near London Road, so please bear that in mind.

Free: Glassbottles with corks (Stockwood LU1) Expired Hi I was saving these bottles for somebody, but they only wanted one! They are about 20 cm and hold 250 ml. They are clear glass with a cork stopper. If you could use them, let me know.

220d

Free: Small jars (Stockwood LU1) Gifted I've got about ten of each of these small jars. The black ones are about 5cm x 5cm, and the silver ones are about 8cm × 5cm.

253d

Free: Office chair (Stockwood LU1) Expired It's a blue fabric office chair - adjustable, with arms. I no longer work from home, but if anybody else does and needs a chair, this might just be the job.

256d

Free: Bird feeders (Stockwood LU1) Gifted I've a couple of metal bird feeders - they're designed for peanuts and the birds around here prefer sunflower hearts, so I thought I'd see if anybody else can make use of them.

260d

Free: Plant pot holder thingy (Stockwood LU1) Gifted This was in the flat when I bought it and it annoys the Hell out of me because it's pointless (previous owners used to store things in there, but they drop out!) Anyway, it's four zinc-type plant pots on a frame. It's not in great condition - you can see bits of rust etc, but may be OK in a garden. Collection only - I'm normally around in the daytime. It's the London Road end of town.

Free: Photo colour laser card (Stockwood LU1) Gifted It's quite old but I don't think that'll matter too much - I think there are about 40 A4 sheets left. So, if you're printing photos on a colour laser, could be worth a try. (I've got a laser printer that may only need toner, but that'll be coming on here shortly if anybody is interested.) I'm normally around in the day - collection only. I'm near London Road. Thanks.

Free: Horticultural fleece (Stockwood LU1) Gifted A few metres of horticultural fleece - sorry the pictures is so dull but horticultural fleece is what it is. I'm no longer using it as I've heard that it doesn't help plants, but it may work for you. Collection only.

1y

Free: A bit of jasmine (Stockwood LU1) Gifted It's a bit of jasmine in a small (9cm) pot. It's hardy - it's parent plant was in a pot on the balcony throughout the winter. It's not neat and a bit straggly, but it should fill out when it gets a permanent home. Collection only - I'm near London Road. I'm usually in during the day (or can be) with a bit of flexibility. It can go to the first person with a good reason for wanting it.

1y

Free: Curtain rail (Stockwood LU1) Gifted This is a black metal curtain rail (don't get too excited, it's OK but not brilliant). It has three brackets and 14 curtain rings. It is about 165 cm unextended - and nearly double that if you extend it (although I wouldn't go too far). Previously it held quite heavy curtains (I'm swapping for blinds), so is pretty sturdy. It doesn't have finials (those decorative bits at the end) as it just fitted where it was. There are a couple of white paint splashes, but nothing major.

1y

Free: Under bed boxes (Stockwood LU1) Gifted I've got two of these under bed boxes - they're OK but they don't have lids, so are better for long term storage for things that are already covered or bagged. (I do seem to create a lot of dust - which ends up in the boxes, so I'm getting some with lids.) They are black painted plywood (one side is unpainted as that won't really be seen). They are approx 60 cm x 93 cm x 18 cm. Fair use policy applies (so please don't hassle me for a quick decision). Thanks.

1y

Free: Ice pack (Stockwood LU1) Expired Can anyone use an ice pack? I used it to deal with gout and swollen feet - TMI, I know! - but I don't need it anymore. It's one where you add ice cubes (it doesn't have gel or anything inside). It's been in a cupboard, so it's a bit dusty - but it still seems watertight, and that's what matters.

1y

Free: Old leather bags (Stockwood LU1) Expired I've got three old leather bags. There's a large black shoulder bag (38 cm x 27 cm), a smaller brown shoulder bag (30 cm x 27 cm) and a brown rucksack (40 cm x 30 cm). They've not been well looked after (and the zip on the rucksack is knackered), and the brown ones are quite scuffed, the black one is in better condition. If not useful as bags, maybe someone can repurpose the leather. If interested, please say which bag you would be interested in. .
