Old School Shirts For Upcycling (North Sheen TW9)
Offering 3 old M&S "white" school shirts, for upcycling purposes. They are Size 12-13 years, and made from 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton. All three have noticeable paint stains on them (acrylic paint I think, but I haven't been able to get the stains out), and therefore are no longer suitable for school uniform purposes. However apart from the stains shirts are in reasonable condition and so could possibly be upcycled into something (perhaps for costume purpose or some such).

M&S Easy Dressing School Trousers Size 11 to 12 Years (North Sheen TW9)
Two pairs of Marks and Spencers' s '"Easy Dressing" School Trousers, for SEND children (the material is a bit softer than regular school trousers and they pull on- so no clips, buttons or zips). These ones are size 11 to 12years old. Look like normal school trousers at a glance. Are a dark grey in colour (not quite charcoal, but might "just about pass"). Bought a few years ago before M&S discontinued them. Please do be sure before replying if they are acceptable for SEND students in your school (ours tolerated but discouraged them) As I would really like them to go to a family who will be able to use them. I intend to wait a while and see what replies I get. Note: I had wanted to post these in Kingston Freegle , but apparently that isn't allowed owing to Kingston's Selective Schools. (So I have to post these only on Richmond)

Car Radiator Cap (North Sheen TW9)
Gifted
A "new" or at least unused Radiator cap for an old car. It is looking rather old. But only from storage. Don't think it was ever used. I think it is likely it might have been bought for a 1980s Jaguar, or may a Ford Grenada.

Self Inflating Mat (Slight damaged) (North Sheen TW9)
Expired
Pink Andes Self Inflating "Camping Mat" I think it is 195cm long by 57cm wide and is supposed to be 10cm thick. Please note, the mat has a couple of small punctures in it, so it currently does not fully inflate, also it keeps trying to semi-inflate when stored. As it is quite thick is could still be useable as a mat (at least in the back garden or some such). Its possible the punctures might be repairable.

Frozen pigs trotters (North Sheen TW9)
Gifted
One packet (sealed of course) containing 2 frozen pigs trotters. I bought them in August 2025, and put them in the freezer straight away, -Thought we might try making a meat jelly with them or something. But we don't seem to get round to it.

Kids Activity Kits - Opened Part Used (North Sheen TW9)
Expired
I have these three sets of things to to to pass on. 1. KidzLabs animation praxinoscope - This has been opened, and used once, but I think we put the bits back afterwards, and it can be reused. 2. M&S Dinosaur Cress Forrest - Never used, but package a bit battered. Also has a "Display Until " date of 2022, but am assuming the seeds in it are likely to still be viable, if anyone wants to give it a try. 3. Chemistry Wiz - This was given to us secondhand, though I don't think the people who gave it to us used it, and and we have not tried to use it. as far as I can tell at a glance the bits seem to be there. But I can't be sure.

Pond Safety Grid Parts (Spares, Repair or other Reuse) (North Sheen TW9)
Gifted
I have been dismantanling a Safety Grid Deck that covered my garden pond (to stop young children falling in). I think it is likely to have been a SafaPond Grid (it looks like it from the pictures). I am offering the parts on here in case anyone can find a use for them. There are about 20 complete Rectangles of grid. Each Rectangle measures 50cm by 59cm., and several partial pieces, as well as other bits and pieces. (though I think the clips that held it together would almost certainly need to be replaced). It completely covered my Pond, which was an oval shape (320cm diameter one way and 220cm diameter the other way). Please note, this stuff has been in my garden (over the pond) for around 12 years, out in all weathers, so I can't be at all sure how durable it is after all this time. Just offering incase anyone can make use of them. To go as one lot.
