Old silver cross pram (Old birchills WS2 8)
Gifted
Please read carefully--not ready for a baby in. I am hoping to find someone who would want to put the time and effort into cleaning and repairing this pram and hopefully give it another life. This pram was used for 2 of my children, it is amazing, sturdy, nice and high up, has good suspension... Basically pushes itself. It fits on busses etc it was just wonderful. I changed the seat on the chassis by taking the bars off the bassinet and bolting them to a mamas and papas seat unit. This is reversible with either a pot riviter or more bolts with a locking nut (can supply these). Both the seat and the bassinet can be reversed to face either way, but there is only 1 set of support bars so not a quick swap between bassinet and chair. Seat part has some damage and has mould. Bassinet is green corduroy and has handles, points for straps, apron and base cover in matching pattern. Not mouldy but some plastic on hood is split. Now for the sad bit.... This pram, although loved dearly, was too big to store in my very small house, so it got put into my allotment shed. Only, one winter, a hole was made in the roof and after a few months I found everything in my shed an absolute horrid state. So this pram is in dire need of a thorough clean and disinfect. The bassinet could do with new wood base though it's not rotten just bent. Anyone who would put the effort in at the very least needs to clean it well. Then if they want to use the bassinet you need a drill to make holes for the bars to be attached. Does fold down but still chunky. I really hope someone can love this pram again. Can be pushed away as structurally sound. NOT GOOD FOR A BABY YET. Collection only in the daytime, fairly flexible but will have to be collected from the allotment near The Alma pub.

Baby seat/bed/bouncer (Old birchills WS2 8)
Expired
Rocking baby seat. Old but sturdy. Plastic under has split but it doesn't effect use and could be fixed with strong tape. Missing it's lap strap but still worked well for us to lay baby in to nap. Adjustable from led down flat to sat up. Spaceous and yet cradling, we had new ones and none were as good as this old one! Be a shame to put it in the bin.

Blender, food processor (Old birchills WS2 8)
Gifted
Working blender/food processor with grater, dicer, slicer attachment, dough blades, chopping blades, spice blender and glass blender jug. Very dirty condition as been used lots, chucked in a box and stored away gathering dust. It all works still however spice grinder has been stained since grinding cloves which just never washed off and has cracks so slowly leaks when liquid is blended (only in the small spice blender attachment). And the food processor bowl thing has tape marks on the outside. All could do with a good soak and scrub, just don't have the time myself. Collection WS2 8QL Either evenings between 4:30pm and 7pm, or some other less frequent times. Only arrange if you plan to show up. Will be binned next week.

If someone could glue, then nail drawers, sand and paint the wood then they would be a really handy set, I'm sure. Just been made redundant by a kallax in our house. Each drawer is approximately 25cm wide, 20cm deep and 15cm high. The whole thing is about 60cm wide, 65cm tall and 25cm deep.

Crib/toddler bed (Old birchills WS2 8)
Gifted
Drop side crib by Cossato. Very used condition. Has glow in the dark stickers, scratches and a few screw holes that don't effect the use. Fine to use as set up in the photos, or as a toddler bed but unfortunately a few of the plastic pieces to make the other side drop down are missing. I just can't find them anywhere. I think you can get these as replacements off the internet but if not then can be set up as solid side that doesn't drop down, using long screws into the ends of the side panel (similar to how the other side attaches). The height of the bed can be changed, it has 3 heights. Comes with the mattress, I'll wash the cover too as my kids had raspberries when I set it up to take photos. I might have a sheet or 2 to go with it but dependant on finding them. Will be dismantled for collection. Collection from WS2 8QL.
