Free: Pine wooden bed frame (Longden SY5) Promised Not expecting anyone to want this, but thought it was worth a go before tossing. So, its shortcomings:- The slats obviously don't fit the bedframe correctly as there should be gaps between them I believe There are bits that are broken as per photos. I don't have many screws that fit the slats but I do have ones to fit tge central wooden one from head to toe Despite all that, the headboard and footboard are in pretty decent nick and, when assembled, the bed is really very sturdy. Tgat said it has only been used in the guestroom so not in every day use. Believe it or not, this is the condition in which I acquired the bed but as it had been dismantled, I had no idea about its faults. It will probably be going to the tip on 14th June.

Free: Car shampoo (Longden SY5) Just under half full I would say, so about 475ml. Very economical as it says 10ml per bucket. Old but sure it will still work.

2d

Free: Recipe card tin (Longden SY5) No cards. Good but used condition.

3d

Free: Castors for furniture (Longden SY5) These were part of an office desk or cupboard but I never used them.

3d

Free: Bulb tester (Longden SY5) Fir testing the validity of light bulbs.

6d

Free: Leather furniture cleaners (Longden SY5) These are old but, as they're sealed individually in their packets, they do still work as I was using them still within the last 6 months (and I had had my leather furniture for 16 years!). I don't think that I have used the Ink Away application so don't know if it works.

6d

Free: Tyre pressure gauge (Longden SY5) Practically new - I didn't get on with this design, and bought, what I call, a proper gauge. This one measures side on to the valve.

6d

Free: Ground coriander BBE Nov 2026 (Longden SY5) Got a huge bag and although I use it quite a lot, I don't think that I will get through it all before then! You will need to bring a small container for it. Based on Morrisons jar (36g), I can give away about 8 "portions"

6d

Free: Dried sage BBE Nov 2025 (Longden SY5) I made a mistake when I bought this, had some already, and I bought a large tub. It still smells very potent and so I wondered if anyone would like some. If you do, you will need to bring a small container for it - the small one I have says it holds 13g, and based on that I have easily 5 little jars full (based on Sainsbury's 13g jar).

6d

Free: Heat Resistant Gloves (Longden SY5) Gifted Not much to add to the photo - they are quite big although one size, a bit dusty, but unused, obviously.

9d

Free: 5 x little grey caps (Longden SY5) Gifted Not sure what type of caps these are but hopefully someone understands what they are from the box. Look unused, here when I moved in

15d

Free: Mousetraps (Longden SY5) Withdrawn 4 new, unused mousetrap. Thought I had mice but never got round to doing anything with the traps and not convinced that I did have the rodents anyway.

16d

Free: Used tennis balls (Longden SY5) Gifted 10 tennis balls, used for play but not up to match play anymore. Suitable for dogs or children.

18d

Free: Plant supports (Longden SY5) Gifted Probably about 60cm tall. Photonic shall steps to give you an idea. Used but no longer needed

18d

Free: Cable Ties (Longden SY5) Gifted Unused, nearly full packet. Larger than the other packet.

18d

Free: Fine mesh sieve (Longden SY5) Gifted This is small, a bit larger than a tea strainer I would say. It's bew, unused but I bought it for the garden and have been storing it in the garage so don't fancy using it for culinary purposes. (It was bought for the garden)

18d

Free: Plant waterer? (Longden SY5) Gifted I think that they are plant waterer as they have a fine nozzle to restrict the speed of water.

18d

Free: Rooting powder (Longden SY5) Gifted Almost full but a few years old. I don't know if it goes off.

18d

Free: Small garden sieve (Longden SY5) Gifted Small garden sieve (about 6in diameter?) with what I think is a seed dispenser. Unused.

18d

Free: Size 7 Wellington boots (Longden SY5) Gifted Black, seem to be in pretty good nick although a bit mucky on the outside. Not worn so can't comment on the comfort - got from another freegler for my daughter but they are too small for her legs.

18d

Free: Telescopic hand fork and trowel (Longden SY5) Gifted Little used, I didn't really get on with them and was surprised to find that I still had them!!!

18d

Free: Bistro set (Longden SY5) Gifted Folds down easily for storage. It's metal so quite heavy. The photo makes it look like it's all cream but I was disappointed when I opened it to see that it's cream with what looks like distressed scratches - I wasn't sure whether this was the intended effect or not. Either way it looks nice when erected. It's a few years old now but hardly used - if I sit in the garden, I start looking around and spot all the jobs that need to be done, so I am up and out of my seat doing them instead of relaxing.

18d

Free: Water kefir grains (Longden SY5) Gifted 20g of water kefir grains as mine have multiplied and I am getting to the point where I won't be able to keep up. Simple process, just feed with sugar and water. I only have one "portion" at the moment, but I will regularly have more available if there's a waiting list. Successful applicant to bring a small, clean sealable container to transport.

22d

Free: Garden Gear 12v Pole Hedge Trimmer (Longden SY5) Gifted This is relatively new (bought March) and I have only used it once (successfully) because it wouldn't start the second time I tried. The company don't want it back so if anyone would like to give it a go at repairing or whatever it needs, you're welcome to try. I charged the battery when it wouldn't start, then it just made a clunk noise but still didn't start. It comes with battery, charger and instruction manual.

25d

Free: Cloche (Longden SY5) Expired Approximate size H90cm W123cm D90cm. Similar, if not the same, as above. A few years old and the cover is starting to disintegrate in places (mainly due to it going AWOL for almost a year!). It's partially dismantled. I believe that replacement covers are available online, or maybe in Percy Thrower's as have seen them in the past.

79d

Free: Hanging baskets (Longden SY5) Gifted Per photo, includes one semi circular fir putting against a wall. One of the round ones has no chains so I used it on top of something (like a churn for example) Prefer all to go together but will split if necessary

Free: Fleece plant jackets (Longden SY5) Expired Per photo. Some used, some not.
