Free: Recipe Book (Haywards Heath RH16) Small recipe book (small book, not necessarily small recipes!) with selection of main course recipes or ‘light bite’ recipes. The pen (it’s on the 2nd photo if not on the 1st one) is just to show it really is a small book, so it won’t take up lots of kitchen space. Collection from Ashenground Road area.

Free: UK Road Map (Haywards Heath RH16) It’s a bit old (2017), but I don’t suppose the roads have changed THAT much. Also, there are a few pages missing, but someone may want to use the remaining pages for art or craft projects. Or you could check with me if maps for the places you’re likely to need are still in there. Or I could just put it in the recycling bin. :-)

Free: Fascinator (Haywards Heath RH16) Got a wedding or another posh ‘do’ coming up, & don’t like wearing a hat? Then this is the answer to your dilemma. What is more, the bow & feather thingy can be slipped round the ‘Alice band’ to the other side. Or to the top. Or anywhere in between! It is so adaptable! Isn’t that AMAZING? So beat the rush & bag your fascinating fascinator today!

Free: Microwaveable warmer (Haywards Heath RH16) Gifted A warmer for those pesky aches & pains. It contains wheat & lavender & can be quickly heated up, but only in the microwave.

(And you will need the instructions!)

3d

Free: Poppy Seeds (Haywards Heath RH16) Poppy seeds for you to scatter in your garden! I don’t know what colour flower these seeds will produce, or how high they will grow, but I collected them from a gorgeous display I had of tall poppies like those in the picture. And while the seeds in that advert cost £2.89, and I haven’t actually counted out the seeds I bagged up for you, there are lots, and they are FREE! Collection from Ashenground Road area. P.S. The offer says ‘2 available’…. that’s 2 packs, not 2 seeds🤣.

Free: Love-in-a-mist seeds (Haywards Heath RH16) These are seeds I collected from plants (also known as ‘nigella’) in my unkempt-but-i-don’t-mind garden. I understand that seeds don’t always produce flowers the same colour as the parent plant, so you may be lucky and get red or pink, but I have only had the dark or pale blue plants, with the occasional white one. Still, they’re all free, and the plants are beautiful & easy to grow. Collection from Ashenground Road area. P.S. When it says ‘2 available’, it means 2 packs, not 2 seeds!😄

4d

Free: Wax crayons (Haywards Heath RH16) Promised Lots of wax crayons. Apart from colouring or letting youngsters decorate your lovely blank walls, there are LOTS of creative things you can do with wax crayons (or bits of them). Just go onto Google or something for some brilliant ideas! (No, I haven’t tried them, but they look good!) Collection from Ashenground Road area.

6d

Free: Coloured pencils (hh) (Haywards Heath RH16) Promised Quantity of coloured pencils, some long, some short, and all used, as you can see.

Free: T-light wicks (Haywards Heath RH16) Does anyone out there make their own candles…specifically T-light size? Here are some wicks for you to use up, already waxed and ready to go. If no-one can use them, I’ll have to reluctantly put them in the general rubbish bin. 😢

6d

Free: tv quiz game (Haywards Heath RH16) Home-made quiz game. I screenshotted (I just made up a new verb!) some pictures & made 2 similar sets of “Guess the Sitcom” pictures. Some (well, most…) of the pictures are a bit fuzzy, but you can still see who the characters are ..mainly..and there’s a sheet with the answers on it. It’s all very amateurish, but it could give you & others a bit of fun trying to name the shows.

6d

Free: Storage tin (Haywards Heath RH16) Gifted Lovely big storage tin. I’d keep it, as it’s pretty & a good size, but I have so many storage items already! This one is 8inches high & 8.5inches across. Collection from Ashenground Road area.

Free: 3 Rugby Shirts (Haywards Heath RH16) Promised 3 shirts, all size XXL and all clean and in very good condition.

Free: Bum bag (Haywards Heath RH16) Gifted Why DO they call them that, when it’s not worn near that part of the anatomy? Anyway, this useful little bag has 3 zip compartments, for when you want to travel light and go hands-free, but still need to take a few little necessities. It will fit any part of your body that’s up to 45inches all the way round. Or if that’ not long enough , you could just sling it over your arm or round your neck. It is SO adaptable! :-) 🤣. Collection from Ashenground Road area.

Free: Useful tips (Haywards Heath RH16) Gifted Here’s a collection of jolly helpful tips I’ve collected from The Week..a well respected news magazine! Tips range from ‘How to Challenge a Parking Fine’ to ‘Four Exercises to Improve Balance’; from ‘Tips on Parenting’ to shopping hacks, and lots in between. I found lots of very useful stuff in there, have recorded it elsewhere, and don’t like to put all that usefulness in the bin! It does look a rather scruffy collection, but think of all that info that might save you stress, money, time etc! Any takers? Go on….you know it makes sense!

If you want, I’ll even supply a list of things for them to look for. My kids used to love the game. I’d start the journey by pointing out the things I spotted, but I had to stop so I could concentrate on the driving! If interested, please say when you can collect (Ashenground Road area).
