Free: Carpet offcuts for weed suppression (Fords Farm RG31) 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. Will go to landfill if not taken.

Free: 2 pairs of pyjamas and 1 pair of socks- age 4-5yrs (Fords Farm RG31) 2 pairs of pyjamas - by George - interchangeable designs. Label says age 4-5. Socks have no size label but are definitely SMALL. Presumably also age 4-5 as they were all kept as 'spares' for visits of grandchildren and barely worn.

Request: small bedside unit (Fords Farm RG31) I have this old dark wood bedside unit. I need another, similar and no deeper than 16ins (41cm), for the other side of my bed so that I can still open both storage drawers in the bed base! Is anyone replacing something like this with a newer one? I have looked online to buy 2nd hand but no luck. I accepted a cupboard from a fellow freegler but once in situ I realised it doesn't actually fit the bill. Even happy to take a PAIR of dark wood units in a different design, if the size is right, and I will then freegle both of the others. Thank you!

Free: 2 small non-stick frying pans (Fords Farm RG31) Both are 8ins (20cms) diameter. They are in reasonable condition and I plan to replace them because the non-stick surface is beginning to show signs of wear. Still usable for food but may be more suited to a play kitchen or other non-food use?

Free: A gift pack of 2 pomanders (Fords Farm RG31) Reposted after several requests that were not followed up. PLEASE NOTE the description: Label says SCENTED Pomanders but the scent is neither identified nor detectable any more! A few drops of lavender oil or similar could give them a new lease of life perhaps? It seems a shame to 'bin' them....

Free: curtain track gliders (pack of 20+) (Fords Farm RG31) If you recognise these because you have a curtain track with this exact type of glider they will be very useful as spares. They may possibly fit a very old Swish track but do not fit any of my tracks ...... nor the 3ft 6ins track also on offer here.

Free: Portachess electronic game (Fords Farm RG31) Gifted Game is VERY old so 'as seen'. It was working when put away in our games cupboard. The batteries were left in, so the contacts may need a thorough clean. I put new batteries in anyway and it switched on ok but I didn't try a game. Includes plenty of spare playing pieces, instruction manual and a plastic case (which is a very tight fit since the game lid broke and is mended with tape! Neither is essential for playing)

Free: Rubik's cube (Fords Farm RG31) Gifted Given to me by a fellow freegler but it seems the colour stickers had been removed and replaced incorrectly. According to this website - this problem can be overcome but time for me to pass it on to someone with more time and patience to do it!

BUT be aware. The disc drawer can be temperamental. It opens and shuts (see pic) BUT sometimes it needs a bit of persuasion to open when empty! Might need further investigation?

Edited and reposted due to an unsuccessful enquiry regarding the BROKEN birdbath. It is just potential hardcore.

Request: old style schwartz spice jars (Fords Farm RG31) Received Schwartz changed the shape of their jars some time ago and the new ones in the shops do not fit in my racks. Had I anticipated that, I would not have thrown my empty jars in the recycling bin as they became empty!
