CDs (Newtown St Boswells TD6)
Expired
A mixed bag of 13 classical CDs that came with past BBC Music magazines. They can't be resold so taking them to a charity shop is not an option. Included are works by Mahler, Beethoven, Shostakovich, Bach, Stravinsky, Clara Schumann and others.

Kitchen Sink U Bends (Newtown St Boswells TD6)

Plug-in Dimmer Switch (Newtown St Boswells TD6)
Withdrawn
Plug-in dimmer switch for use with dimmable lightbulbs. Hasn't been used for some time and I don't have a dimmable bulb to test it with. Looks perfect though and should be OK.

Whisky Bottles (sorry, empty) (Newtown St Boswells TD6)
Withdrawn
Interesting heavy glass whisky bottles with stoppers. They seem too good to recycle and could be used for other drinks or maybe even refilling with the good stuff...

Phoenix Safe (Newtown St Boswells TD6)
Gifted
This is a fireproof safe with dual guard locking. It's heavy so lifting may be a two person job. It is in excellent condition and measures 41cm wide x 32cm high x 37.5 deep. Perfect for all your gold ingots, family jewels and deeds to the castle.

Two Adjustable Walking Sticks (Newtown St Boswells TD6)
Expired
These are in excellent condition and it would be a real shame to discard them. Perhaps a relative or an elderly neighbour might find them useful. The NHS will not take them back as they don't have storage for returned disability aids.

Free:
Aluminium Step Ladder (Newtown St Boswells TD6)
Gifted
Four step aluminium ladder - 155cm overall height and 111cm to platform. The ladder is in good serviceable condition but rather paint splattered (as you might expect).

Halfords Smart Charge Battery Charger and Jump Leads (Newtown St Boswells TD6)
Gifted
Halfords Smart Battery Charger, purchased in 2021 and used only twice - jump leads are older but still usable. Recently switched over to an EV so both are surplus to requirements!

Slow Cooker (Newtown St Boswells TD6)
Expired
Tower 3.5 litre slow cooker in stone (pale cream colour). The slow cooker is less than two years old and works perfectly. It's a bit too big for us now and would suit a small family much better. Also included is a BBC Good Food slow cooker recipe book

Water-to-Go filter 500ml water bottle (with filter) and an Aladdin 1 pint thermos bottle. Both in excellent condition. Replacement filters for the Water-to-Go are available online.

Gurkha Kukri (Newtown St Boswells TD6)
Gifted
The kukri was brought back from Nepal as a souvenir. It is in excellent condition. Please note that this will only be available to an adult, preferably a collector of such items. According to UK law: You can typically own a kukri in the UK for legitimate purposes such as camping, outdoor activities, or as a collector's item. It is important to note that carrying any knife, including a kukri, in public places without a valid reason is illegal in the UK.

Model Car (Newtown St Boswells TD6)
Gifted
This is a Franklin Mint 1/24 scale 1948 MGTC Roadster. The wing mirror is missing but otherwise the model is in excellent condition. This is not a toy but more of a collector's item (and difficult to dust...).

Free:
Pedal Bin (Newtown St Boswells TD6)
Gifted
An Addis plastic pedal bin in cream; approximate overall dimensions 61cm high - 41cm wide - 34cm deep. The bin is in excellent condition but it's too big for us.

Gifted
Approximately 4 100g hanks of Iona single origin wool 4-ply. Two hanks of green teal, one of silver and one of a blue colour (not currently available on the Iona Wool webpage). I don't normally use 4-ply so if anyone else can, that would be lovely.

EasiYo Yogurt Maker and 4 Yogurt Sachets (Newtown St Boswells TD6)
Gifted
EasiYo Yogurt making system with 2 sachets of Greek Style Coconut Yogurt and 2 Low Fat Greek Style sachets. Simple to use (just add mix to 500ml warm water, shake and then add boiling water to the yogurt maker, pop in the container and leave overnight) and each sachet makes 1kg of yogurt. It's a bit of a struggle for two of us to get through all that yogurt in time so it would be better for family use. BBF date on yogurt is 7/2024. Extra flavours can be bought from Lakeland, Amazon, eBay, etc.

Deuter Rucksack (Newtown St Boswells TD6)
Gifted
I think the website says it best: 'With its ventilated 'Aircomfort' back system the Deuter Futura 22 SL is an exceptionally comfortable daysack, with a short back length, designed for day hikes and short excursions. The shorter back of the Futura 22 SL, is made to fit women or men with a shorter torso length. It has zipped access in the top of the pack to the main compartment, along with secondary zipped access in the base. The main compartment can also be divided with a zipped internal divider, adding to the Futura's versatility. There is a additional pocket with a key clip, that is ideally sized for small accessories such as a phone or GPS. 2 external mesh pockets can carry water bottles or small essentials, and there is also attachment points for trekking poles or an ice axe.' I've had this for a few years now but it's in good condition and ready for many more miles.

Vintage Lloyd Loom Chair (Newtown St Boswells TD6)
Gifted
This genuine Lloyd Loom chair belonged to my mother-in-law who had it when she married in 1939. It has been repainted and the seat was replaced (the original webbing had failed). Approximate dimensions : 76cm high x 54cm wide x 50cm deep. The new cushion is covered in Volga linen. The Lloyd Loom Vauxhall chair is the modern equivalent of the Lusty 'Popular model 7031' dating from 1933.

Small rucksack (Newtown St Boswells TD6)
Gifted
I think the 'Run Commuter' site says it all: 'This small, light backpack is simple yet sturdy and is perfect for a certain type of runcommuter. It is about as basic as you can get in a pack designed specifically for running/sports. The Speedlite 10 is a great runcommuting pack for those who value durability, quality, and simplicity, but more significantly, those who want a pack that they can forget about while running...' Of course, I never used it for running, sedate walking is more my style... It will comfortably hold everything needed for a short walk - lunch, phone, sweater, slim water bottle and whatever else you can cram in.

Double Doors (Newtown St Boswells TD6)

A pair of double wood-grain effect white double doors, 838mm x 1971mm. Door handles and hinges included. Excellent condition. What else can I say, other than they open and shut!

Greenhouse Irrigation System (Newtown St Boswells TD6)
Gifted
We bought this irrigation system and timer from Ebay for our greenhouse tomatoes. The system works best attached to the mains rather than a water butt. The timer is a bit erratic - works fine sometimes and then goes on strike. Perhaps someone would like to fiddle with it and get it to function more reliably.
