Free: Drinking glasses (Ware SG12) All sorts of different types. See photo. Prefer them to go as one lot but please get in touch even if you want only a few. Any that don’t find a new home will be off to the hardcore skip. Happy if you want to have a look; don’t feel any obligation to take any.

Free: Oreck XL Compact Hand Held Vacuum Cleaner (Ware SG12) Gifted Mains powered. 12 new dust bags included.

Free: Anglecare Nappy Bin (Ware SG12) Gifted Hygienic, odour free way of disposing nappies. Stands 68.5cm high. It’s been use but I would describe it as being in ‘as new’ condition. According to John Lewis: It's so easy to use - just open the lid, push the nappy through the clamp and the nappies fall conveniently into the antibacterial and multi-layered film bag. To empty the bag, simply remove it like a normal bin liner. In addition, the film used in the refill cassettes is economical and hygienic and has been proven to keep bad odours and germs inside the nappy bin. The bin holds up to 57 (size 1) nappies. As the nappies are not twisted individually, this product uses up to four times less plastic than other products on the market. The childproof cutting mechanism is safely located inside the nappy bin. Although the photo shows a refill pack it is the wrong type. This bin requires an octagonal pack but the one I have is circular. Refill packs are available from John Lewis and Amazon. And other retailers too I imagine.

Free: Tower Fan (Ware SG12) Gifted On probably the coldest day of the winter so far I’m offering a fan to keep you cool. It’s made by Wickes and stands about 30 inches tall. It has three fan speeds, it will oscillate to deliver cool air over a wider area and has two hour timer enabling you to put it on when you go to bed knowing it won’t be on all night. I retrieved it from my parents’ loft. I have briefly tested it and all the functions seem to work.
