Free: Desktop Train Set (Breadsall DE21) Pretty little American style train to PUSH round the track. Track and engine outer case, and waggons are in great condition. Unfortunately someone had left the batteries in for a long time and the wires etc had corroded through. Also the motor seems to have been affected. So, the internal bits are included but probably best to think of it as a push-along rather than battery operated!

Free: Unusual, Vintage Knee-hole Desk (Breadsall DE21) Gifted Unusual and quirky knee- hole desk from, at a guess, early 20th century. The top is removable for transporting. It's got a very odd shaping at the back- clearly sat over something originally! Measurements: width 42" /107cm, height 13 1/2" /34cm, depth 201/2" /52.5cm. The "cut out" at back is11" /28cm high and 6 1/2" /16cm deep. The Knee-hole is 12 1/2"/ 32cm wide, and side pediments are each 13 1/2" /34cm wide. I think that it would fit in an estate car. Ideally, to be collected on a Wednesday between 12-30 and 2 as it's not at my house. Please say if you can do that in your reply. Will give a couple of days so more people get a chance to respond.

Free: Moses Basket with Hood (Breadsall DE21) Gifted This has been in storage so the fabric would benefit from a wash, but it's a lovely item. We are not quite sure how the hood should fit but it seems to work ok with being tied! As you can see, it has a waterproof mattress. Needs a small stitch of the straw near one handle. Obviously totally suitable for a baby, and I have seen people using them as pet beds! Collection will need to be organised in advance as it's not at my house.

Free: Wicker Work Tub Chair (Breadsall DE21) Gifted A very pretty little wicker work tub chair, in excellent condition. It's about 19" wide and 28" tall. I can imagine it sitting happily in a conservatory. Please say why you would like it! I shall allow a couple of days before making a decision, as per fair offer policy.

Free: Vintage Peugeot Racing Bicycle (Breadsall DE21) Gifted I understand that this is a bit of a classic of it's kind- something about the 1st to have whatever sort of gears it has, or something! (I'm not a cyclist!).There is also a tray of totally random bicycle related bits, that you can see in the picture, if you want them too (let me know). I'm told that traditional frames are sized by the seat tube, and the measurement from the centre of the crank to top of seat tube is 25 inches. It's been in a garage for probably 20 years and is quite grubby with surface rust, and that's breaking into the chrome in places. The tyres are knackered. It belonged to a now deceased friend, and I want to find it a good home. Please tell me why you'd like it! I'll be giving it a few days before offering it so everyone gets a chance to see the post! Collection will be by arrangement a few days in advance as it's not at my house and I'll need to bring it round.

Request: Window (glass and frame) (Breadsall DE21) Expired Wanted for a shed. The current opening is 80cm x 56cm. So that would be the ideal size but could make it work if slightly larger (width up to 82cm but lots more flexible on the height) or smaller, because I can add surrounds! Can collect 🙂 from most places.

Free: Spider plant with Lots of Babies (Breadsall DE21) Gifted A big and beautiful spider plant family looking for a new, loving home 🙂. Was split from relatives and repotted in March, and doubled in size since! Just don't have room for all, so this beauty is seeking new friends. Please say when you could collect. Either Saturday or Sunday would work well for me.

Free: Mixed Lot of Henna Products (Breadsall DE21) Gifted Including 509g bag of powder hardy used, tube of paste - still feels useable and not much used, sticks and cones ect for applications, Zubeda instructions and the oils and powders from their kits.

Free: Large Aloe Vera Plant (Breadsall DE21) Gifted Vera is looking for a new, loving and bigger home! She's about 26 inches tall (from pot base) and has a spread of 3 feet! I've just repoted her, and separated her from her children 😥, but once she's settled in to a new environment she'll probably produce a lot more! She's potted in a compost/ sand mix, with a little bit of water gel at the bottom. She'd probably like to be in a conservatory as she's a big girl and is likely to grow a lot bigger in the right environment. She's just outgrown the space I have available. So if you can provide for her, let me know! And please give me actual times that you could pick her up. Given the weather, I can leave her out for collection if I'm not around.

Free: 1970's Record Cabinet - in need of tlc (Breadsall DE21) Gifted I'm hoping that someone would like this as an upcycling project! It's got a solid plywood body, that the veneer has pretty much all gone from (a sand would remove last traces). The doors still have the veneer, I think, under the black paint. The inside is original with all partitions intact. Size is: 23 1/2" /59.5cm wide. 14 1/2" /37cm deep 19 1/4" /48.5cm high. Please let me know why you'd like it 😊. .

Free: Compost Bin (Breadsall DE21) Gifted Conical "darlek" style compost bin. Does NOT have an emptying hatch at the bottom, so possibly best for an allotment or veg patch where you can just lift it up and spread all your home made compost around on the ground. Please say when you could collect.

I can wrap them and leave out, if necessary.

Free: Hostess Trolley - works very well (Breadsall DE21) Expired I don't know how old this is- 40 or so years at a guess! I was given it "at the end of the last century", and used it 2 or 3 times a year until a couple of years ago. But having not done so since, it's time to find it a new home, where it can continue to do it's job. It works brilliantly, and it's wasted as a not ever so convenient cupboard. So, size: 27" /69cm tall, 28 1/2" /72.5cm long, and 14 1/2" /37cm deep. It has a hot cupboard, and 4 inset dishes with lids in the top.Do ask any questions. I will re-home it with someone who tells me how they will use it, and will take a couple of days to decide, so don't worry if you don't hear quickly. I'm hoping to arrange collection next weekend, so please include a definite time between 11 and 4 either Saturday or Sunday if possible.
