Wooden carver chair in need of restoration (Fords Farm RG31)
It is structurally solid except for the seat! When I inherited it from my parents the seat had been repaired and the whole thing painted with white glosss paint. It looked lovely but foolishly I left it outside in a long period of rain. I was going to restore it but no longer have the enthusiasm. Would someone like to restore it to its former glory?

Britax child car seat (Fords Farm RG31)
Gifted
Car seat for child 9 kg – 25 kg. Got it from another freeegler who assured me it had not been in an accident. It has not been in an accident since I acquired it. My grandchild has now outgrown it. Fitting instructions are on the side of the seat but a paper copy (and a digital copy!) are also available.

landline handset and/or cord (Fords Farm RG31)
I freegled all my old landline sets and cords, except one, because I was advised I would no longer need them as I was being transferred to VOIP plus landline. HOWEVER that didn't happen! My provider is still 'working on it'! Now the remaining landline handset is showing a message that there is aproblem with my 'line cord'. My provider says there is no problem but will send an engineer. Need to check if my handset cord is the problem before they turn up and charge me £75 because it is MY equipment not theirs!

Take the ones you want or take all. Plain grey/ blue one originally held hard contact lens solutions. Patterned grey one originally held cosmetics. Red one originally held some mini tools. The black one in the photo has gone - it's been recycled as a peg storage bag! The rest are no longer needed but it seems a shame to put them in the bin.

Golden Book of Modern English Poetry 1870-1920 (Fords Farm RG31)
VERY old hardback poetry book - (see pic 3 for 1926 inscription by a previous owner!) No loose pages. Text all clear except for a vertical pencil lines against couple of verses in one (or two?) poems. Spine fell off - it was temporarily stuck back on for photo 4 - so charity shops or libraries would probably just pulp it. Would anyone on here like it?

Small quantity of concrete and stone -potential hardcore? (Fords Farm RG31)
3 large pieces of concrete which were dug out of a flower bed where nothing would grow well: it must have been dumped there by builders when the house was built!? Other concrete pieces are a broken bird bath. See pics - watering can and plant pot are in photo 1 for 'scale' only.

Electric Fire (Fords Farm RG31)
Old and a bit dusty and some rusting on the reflector plate so not really suitable for use in a living area. However the original fraying cable was replaced with new, not long ago, so it's now safe to use. Has been used since then in a garage/ workshop. Just no longer needed.

3 seater wooden garden bench - needs repair (Fords Farm RG31)
Gifted
Whilst sanding this bench in preparation for a new coat of stain, I found a broken joint at the back of the seat. It is obviously repairable but I do not have the skill, tools or strength to repair it (see photo 2). The rest of the seat seems to be ok and it was still being used daily without mishap - until the damage was noticed! I am offering it in the hope that someone can repair it or recycle it in some way.

3 seater garden bench - potential renovation project (Fords Farm RG31)
Withdrawn
Whilst sanding this bench in preparation for a new coat of stain today, I found a broken joint that I do not have the skill, tools or patience to repair (see photo 2) so I am offering it in the hope that someone else will collect it and renovate it. The rest of the slats seem to be ok and it was still being used yesterday without mishap.....

Carpet offcuts for weed suppression (Fords Farm RG31)
Withdrawn
2 small pieces only. 49insx 27ins and 26ins x 17ins. A bit grubby from being used and stored in the garage but fine for weed suppression in a small area (or other such use!) Brush is in the photo just for scale. Reposted due to earlier unsuccessful enquiry...

3 small ceramic plant pots (Fords Farm RG31)
Gifted
Reposted due to failed enquiry... Each 7cms tall, 7cms top diameter. Came in a gift box with 3 packs of cress and herb seeds. No longer needed. No holes in the bottom so do not drain,therefore not good for growing seedlings. May be ideal for children to grow cress on blotting paper or tissue paper or for baby cacti?

Can anyone use this before I put it in the rubbish bin. The rubber is removeable (and could have been replaced?) but I have replaced the whole wiper arm. The Bosch box is just for reference....to show the only replacement wiper blade sold in Halfords which was compatible with my 2015 Jazz.

Gadget for removing air from a vacuum storage bag (Fords Farm RG31)
Gifted
Still available. No longer have the vacuum bag. Long shot this as the gadget has an internal thread which presumably matches the fitting on the original bag? ... or could it be universal to all similar bags? Worth a offer, otherwise it will end up in landfill. :

Venturer landline telephone (Fords Farm RG31)

siphon for Armitage Shanks Sandringham 21 Close Coupled WC (Fords Farm RG31)
Expired
If you understand the OFFER description you will know if you can use it! It has hardly been used. It did not flush as well as I hoped in my new en suite shower room and it was reluctantly replaced by the supplier who argued it was an installation fault (the plumber insisted it was faulty). Actually the replacement isn't any better so there was probably nothing wrong with it. I have just learnt to live with the disappointment! Reposted due to a failed collection arrangement.

Broken lampshade (Fords Farm RG31)
Expired
Plastic lampshade. 5ins wide at top and 10 ins wide at bottom. Bulb holder can be positioned for use as a table lamp or a ceiling lamp. Lampshade itself is undamaged but the bulb holder has sheared off one side (see pic 2). I tried to repair it using a) araldite b) duct tape c) solder but none would hold! Destined for landfill unless someone with access to a welder wants to try to repair it?

Potted plants - african violets and spider plants (Fords Farm RG31)

See photos. Help!! Many of these plants need splitting/ repotting but whenever I do that I end up with twice as many plants and I am running out of window sills and shelves to accomodate them all! African violets are mostly white and a few are purple. Would anyone like to relieve me of some of these? ....please!

upright fridge freezer (Fords Farm RG31)
Gifted
THIS IS STILL AVAILABLE due to several interested takers not following their enquiry through to collection. In full working order (although one of the drawers fronts has some minor cosmetic damage) ... BUT ... you might prefer not want to use it in your kitchen. It was accidentally switched off by a workman with the freezer full of food. This mistake was not discovered until the food had all defrosted and begun to rot. It has been fully defrosted and cleaned but the smell in the freezer is still lingering. It is fine until you open the freezer door so it might be more suitable for an outhouse/ shed etc or or for items which wouldn't be affected by the smell.... or you could just use the fridge section? If interested please confirm that you are fully aware of the fact that the lingering smell might make it unsuitable for household use.
