Mosquito protection (Falsgrave YO12) Expired 32d - Jungle Formula Maximum any destination protection against mosquitoes. Roll-on, unused. Contains warnings of chemicals (of course). Never used but nearly 2 years out of date - I wouldn't have thought it matters for something like this.

Loo flush saver (Falsgrave YO12) Expired 88d - Pack from Yorkshire Water to put in your cistern to save water every time you flush. Suitable only for the larger (older) cisterns which hold more than 7 litres of water. (And not for dual flush cisterns.)

Epsom salts (Falsgrave YO12) Expired 88d - A glass jar (larger than a 1lb jam jar) full of epsom salts. I'm sure they will work fine (but wouldn't recommend internal use) but the lid is rusted on and I can't get it off, and I don't want them anyway.

Icing sugar (Falsgrave YO12) Expired 88d - An opened packet of icing sugar, was originally 1kg and I think more than half is left. Giving away because we hardly ever use icing sugar.

Old bits of candles (Falsgrave YO12) Gifted 91d - Old candles as in photo, could be melted to make new ones or burned for light or warmth.

Pillow case with clumped filling (Falsgrave YO12) Expired 91d - A pillow which I washed and the synthetic filling went all lumpy. In its case which I undid at one end to see if I could make anything of it. If you can do anything with it, message soon or it will go in the bin.

Old magazines (Falsgrave YO12) Gifted 91d - I have been saving TV magazines to give to someone in Newby to line cat litter trays but have lost her number. Please message if this is you or if you are someone who would like them.

Small loudspeakers (Falsgrave YO12) Expired 199d - Small loudspeakers which I can plug into my mobile phone, e.g. computer loudspeakers. (So that I can listen to podcasts in the kitchen without using earphones).

Wild strawberry plants (Falsgrave YO12) Expired 275d - Wild strawberry plants and runners, bare rooted, need to go soon before they die. Will produce small and tasty fruit next year. Mostly being dug up today 26 July to make room for our broccoli plants! Large numbers, probably enough for 2 or 3 people to share, unless you have a large patch for them.

Runner bean plants (Falsgrave YO12) Expired 335d - I need some runner bean plants because mine have not germinated well and I have to have them in the garden by Wednesday! Any would be appreciated, though ideally I need 20. Within easy reach of Falsgrave / town, please, as I don't have a vehicle.

small wooden balls (Falsgrave YO12) Expired 338d - Ten small wooden balls, beautifully smooth, pale coloured wood. About 3 cm in diameter. They were originally sold imbued with some sort of fragrance but that has worn off. You may be able to re-fragrance them or use for some other purpose.

Circle dance tapes (Falsgrave YO12) Expired 1y - 10 cassette tapes of music for circle dance (or just as pleasant dance music from various countries to listen to or exercise to on your own.) Really lovely music - I'm just trying to make more space on my shelves.

Coat (Falsgrave YO12) Expired 1y - Maroon jacket from Mountain Warehouse size 12, several years old, still life in it but I'm giving it away because the zip has failed for the third time. If you can replace the zip, you will find it very useful. Good pockets, tough, fairly windproof, autumn/spring weight.

Bay trimmings (Falsgrave YO12) Gifted 1y - Lots of recently cut twigs/branches of bay, the kind you use in cooking. Take to use/dry, or to use the fragrance, burn (when dry) or to use as cuttings to grow your own plants.

Jam jars (Falsgrave YO12) Gifted 1y - 8 jars suitable for jam

Double sheets (Falsgrave YO12) Gifted 1y - Two double sheets, one cream polyester & cotton, the other white cotton (I think). No longer required as we don't have a double bed.

Zero carbon game (Falsgrave YO12) Gifted 1y - Brand new game 'Carbon City Zero' for one to four players aged 8+. According to the box it takes 30-60 minutes. Your task is to create a carbon neutral city and show the rest of the world how it is done. Small compact box, quite complicated rules.

Safety pins (Falsgrave YO12) Expired 1y - About 20 small safety pins, mostly about 3.5 cm long.

Large torch (Falsgrave YO12) Gifted 1y - A VERY large portable torch/lamp, useful for visiting caves or other dark places. It looks in good condition but we don't know whether it works, because it charges from a vehicle battery and we don't have a vehicle. It worked fine last time but that was more than 18 years ago... The name on it is tensor.

Raspberry canes (Falsgrave YO12) Expired 1y - About half a dozen raspberry canes, new this year (so will fruit next year), will probably grow large and give large fruit. Need to be rid a.s.a.p. as want to sow veg there.
