Free: Strawberry Grow Bags (Langley SL3) Gifted I was helping a friend clear out her garden shed and persuaded her to Freegle this. I think it’s a “middle of Lidl” bargain thing. A pack of two cloth bag things for growing strawberries. You can probably read the description from the photo. Never used, still in original packaging

Free: Mini-polytunnel (Langley SL3) Gifted For growing stuff, like the big market gardeners do, only in miniature. About 3m long by 60cm wide and 50cm high. I don’t think it’s ever been used, just been sitting in my friend’s garden shed for a couple of years. There’s two tent-pegs still sealed in a little bag attached to it, for pegging down the ends. Great for protecting your seedlings from the frost or the birds.

Free: Large cardboard boxes (Langley SL3) Expired Three large cardboard boxes from an IKEA sofa delivery. About 160 x 80 cm I’m thinking more useful for crafting rather than packing. You’d get some useful-sized sheets if you want to make something festive like one of those fake fireplaces for Santa to come down. If nobody wants them, they’ll go to the tip.

Free: Sliding cupboard door kit - never used (Langley SL3) Gifted 2 1.8m tracks, with 20 top and bottom fittings. I bought them so long ago that I can't remember where I got them from, but I think they are pretty much identical to these: Brown, two complete tracks top and bottom, twenty sets of top and bottom fittings. (enough for 10 separate doors). I was supposed to be replacing a set of cupboard doors at our local church, but in the end the whole cupboards were replaced instead (after years of procrastination) and these fittings got forgotten.

Free: Work light (Langley SL3) Gifted Portable 5W LED work light. It works, but it’s horrible. Probably designed by Satan on one of his off days. It’s very bright. But... when the battery gets low it just turns off with no warning. You can’t operate it while it is charging, and the charger got broken anyway. (I’m not selling it very well, am I?) I charge it from a 12v battery when I use it, with the bit of lead from the old dead charger.

Free: 2 short 4-way leads (Langley SL3) Gifted Two small 4-way extension leads. “4-gang” is the correct term, so don’t all gang up on me. They’re old, but still serviceable. I’m a qualified PAT tester, so I did them just now to check. One has been around long enough for the plastic to start going brown, but otherwise they are both fine.

Free: 10m coaxial cable (Langley SL3) Gifted 10metre long coaxial cable, white. 75-ohms impedance. Great if you’ve got a big room and you want to put your tv a long way from the aerial socket.

Free: Old briefcase and tools (Langley SL3) Gifted Old black briefcase, a bit worn. Combination locks have never been set. Interior dimensions 44x30x8cm (17x12x3.25 inches) but can be expanded by another 2.5cm(1 inch) Was owned by a piano tuner and still has some of his tools.
