Free: Vertical Window Blinds (St. Columb Minor TR7) Expired Re-posted in final attempt to rehome before disposing of them. Must be taken by the end of Sunday 22 September. Thank you. Light beige fabric vertical blinds with two cords, one for drawing the blinds across the rail to cover the window, and one for adjusting the blinds between open and closed position, in either direction. These were specifically made for the large windows of the bungalows on the Treviglas estate on the edge of St Columb Minor. They may be a few decades old but work very well, and appear to have been good quality. I was intending to keep them for on-going use but unfortunately the new windows I am getting will not accommodate them. So I hope that someone else can use them instead. Approximate sizes For window recesses as follows:- W - 319cm. H - 180cm (x1) W - 212cm. H - 135cm (x1) W - 141cm. H - 135cm (x2)

Free: Plastic Venetian blind (St. Columb Minor TR7) Expired For a window approx 140cm wide and 130cm high. This has been in the house I just bought for a long time. It is made of white plastic and could do with a clean up. The top slat has a short sliver missing from the edge but this is not too noticeable. It will need new brackets to fix it to the top of a window alcove. I could open and shut the slats quite easily as per the photos but it was not easy to pull all the slats up to the top, and I am not sure if the mechanism for holding the slats at the top still works or not. I would say that this blind could be used in an occasional situation but would be best left largely untouched once up as it is not very strong and has seen better days. But I wanted to offer it in case someone else might find it useful!

Free: Vacuum cleaner - cordless (Bath & North East Somerset) Expired NB - this does NOT work as it should. The vacuumed material gets stuck in the passage between the head and the dust collector. Either the motor is not powerful enough to pull it through, or the passage is too narrow, or both! So you have to open it up periodically and manually pull out the fluff and dust rather than being able to just open the collector and tip the contents in the bin. However, if you are prepared to do that, the machine does vacuum carpets and hard floors fairly well. It is upright, quite light and portable, has a detachable hand held set and is charged on a small charging station that can stay in a corner. Manual included. If interested, please check the Freegle app regularly for messages as the email notification system cannot be relied on.

Free: Ground cover membrane (Bath & North East Somerset) Gifted Approx 20 square metres of black plastic ground cover material in total. In 4-6 different pieces of different sizes. Dusty condition with the odd chunk of earth still attached. NB - there are holes cut out and some straight cuts in all the pieces, so they are not intact. However, you can double them up to cover ground fully.

Free: Strawberry plants (Bath & North East Somerset) Gifted I have a mixture of Florence and Mara des Bois plants to give away. *** NB - I will be keeping the troughs they are currently in *** So you will need to bring containers to take them away in. Both varieties fruit on and off throughout the season rather than all at once. They are frost hardy if given a sheltered spot over Winter, but they should not be allowed to dry out. Their roots are compacted but should do fine as long as they are re-planted with a bit more space and the roots teased out first. Also, each plant will produce runners to create more plants to replace the current ones that are getting to the end of their productive lives. Must be collected by the end of Saturday 24 September.

Free: Bamboo/Wicker armchair (Bath & North East Somerset) Gifted Good condition with just the odd broken/brittle piece of wicker, It is still solid and held together very well BUT it is definitely NOT suitable for rough treatment or being jumped on etc. It was hand-made in Bangladesh quite a long time ago so the cushion does NOT have any fire-retardant guarantee and I don’t know what the stuffing is made of. The material of the cushion cover is hard-wearing cotton, also Bangladeshi. You will need some cushions for back support. If there is interest in this chair I will wait a couple of days before deciding who to give it to. Dimensions Height - back 82cm Height - arms 63cn Width 69cm Depth 80cm
