Free: Cloche (Longden SY5) Withdrawn Approximate size H90cm W123cm D90cm.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.

20d

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

22d

Free: Fleece plant jackets (Longden SY5) Withdrawn Per photo.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

22d

Free: Tomato growing tower (Longden SY5) Gifted Has water reservoir at bottom. Photo shows it with 2 stages, there are 2 more for greater height (visible in photo). One has a split in it but is still usable- I used this one at the bottom so that it wasn't supporting as much weight as the others.

28d

Free: Mini towers (Longden SY5) Gifted One black, one green. The green one is smaller.

28d

Free: Ceramic garden containers (Longden SY5) Gifted Per the photo, medium size, one small as pictured. Prefer them to go together for convenience but will split if necessary

28d

Free: Plastic garden containers (Longden SY5) Gifted Larger containers, mostly round, 2 square. Also one trough with rollers for easy moving which I used for growing tomatoes. Prefer them all to go together for convenience but will split if necessary

28d

Free: Shears (Longden SY5) Gifted I don't know what these are called but I can't get on with them. Have tried a few times since I bought them. It could be me being cack handed as my parents used to say, or they may be rubbish. I don't know.

53d

Free: Dyson DC14 (Longden SY5) Expired Old but still working. Also the mini turbine head - I have obviously used this but not sure how because it looks like it needs some sort of adapter which I certainly can't find. The hose is starting to split at the top but replacements are available nationwide.

Free: Kenwood FP700 food processor (Longden SY5) Gifted This machine has been a trusty friend in the kitchen for many years, but is still going strong. It does sometimes sound a bit clunky when operating but is still very effective. This is very difficult to part with as I venture into a new era of food processing. As indicated on the photos, there is no spatula, and no whisk attachment (I figure that I must have given it away erroneously with a previous freegled item of a cheaper brand and kept instead one of its attachments!!!). The cover is rather mucky I am afraid. , don't know how to find the appropriate wording, it just means I will wait before choosing the successful applicant

Free: 50 Random buttons (Longden SY5) Gifted Mostly small ones but there are some larger coat/jacket ones too. Also some teeny, weeny sequins in blue, and pink if you want. Can anyone use them?

82d

Free: Shelving unit (Longden SY5) Gifted H90 W85 D27cm all maximum. Lovely, robust pine shelving unit. Been used in garage for gardening stuff. It's been dusted off but there are still some marks on it, from creatures etc, so not good enough for inside house unless it's cleaned up a bit more.

185d

Free: Kitchen top cleaner (Longden SY5) Gifted For natural stone. Either unopened or only a little used.

201d

Free: Light bulbs (Longden SY5) Gifted I have a load of light bulbs as you can see from the photo. I should be moving in the near future and none of them will be of any use in my new home, some of them are not suitable for my current home but have moved with me! There is a mixture of types and I would prefer them to go as one lot and the taker can sort them out to offer the ones they don't want. I hope that someone can use them.

202d

Free: Granite cleaning cloths (Longden SY5) Gifted Unused and I no longer have a granite top (sadly).

220d

Free: Smoke alarm (Longden SY5) Expired Kidde smoke alarm, unused but bought probably about 10 years ago. Comes with fixtures but the instruction manual is missing (can’t be too difficult!) Requires 9v battery by the look of it

220d

Free: Single wooden wardrobe (Longden SY5) Gifted A child's wardrobe, bought and made up when my child was small. She's now 29, and it's moved house at least 3 times. I think it's time for it to go. It's H164cm max W82cm D55cm. It's a little bit wobbly when being moved, but perfectly sturdy once in situ. Two drawers and a hanging rail. Anyone interested? Hoping you will have some manpower but happy to help if I have to.

226d

Free: Food processor (Longden SY5) Gifted Small food processor by Phillips. Various grating and slicing discs, blender jug, whisk, mill and wavy thing for meringues. The bottom of the feeder chute is a bit broken but doesn't affect the performance of the machine (but it does have sharp edges so need to handle carefully). Dies a reasonable job but the pulse function doesn't seem to be functioning!

229d

Free: Small blueberry bush (Longden SY5) Gifted In need of some TLC and especially repotting. I would like to keep the pot so, either bring one along, or take the plant away in a bag or something and get it potted ASAP.

229d

Free: Statue (Longden SY5) Gifted This is one from a bog standard garden centre. It doesn't appear to be completely frost proof because it has started to crack. I have probably had it about 8 years. Heavy. Please note that the tulip design pot underneath is not part of the offer.

229d

Free: Dehydrator (Longden SY5) Gifted Lakeland dehydrator. Only used a few times so in good condition. Circular, 4 trays that can be placed either way up depending on the thickness of the items you are drying. I will wait a day or so before selecting the successful applicant to give more people a chance to respond.

234d

Free: Under counter fridge (Longden SY5) Gifted 50cm x 50cm in good working order, clean and in great condition. Surplus to requirements. Please state when you can collect in your reply. I will wait a while to give all a chance. If you have been a timewaster to me in the past, don't bother applying.

235d

Free: Plant based "ham" (Longden SY5) Expired One packet if wafer thin vegan "ham". Didn't like ham when I was a meat eater, so I am not going to like its substitute either. It came with a food parcel, in case you're wondering. Date is 4th August. Doesn't say whether BBD or Use by date. I would err on the side of caution and say Use by. Any takers? For obvious reasons, I won't be able to leave this out for collection so will have to agree a mutually convenient time.

252d

Free: Household soap (Longden SY5) Gifted I think that this is called carbolic soap? The green one is meant for grass stains etc, the pink I don't remember (probably other stains). 5 bars green, 12 pink. Will split.

256d

Free: Tent pegs (Longden SY5) Gifted Unopened packet of tent pegs (was going to use them for another purpose). 23cm/9 inches long approximately, pack of 10

262d

Free: Candle jars (Longden SY5) Expired I wondered if there are any candlemakers out there who might like some jars. I may have a couple more. I understand that they are not recyclable so it seems a shame to put them in landfill if someone can make use of them.

265d

Free: Night complex (sleep aid) (Longden SY5) Expired An almost full bottle of natural night complex, with expiry October 2025. Sadly didn't work for me.

268d

Free: Used tennis balls (Longden SY5) Expired 9 tennis balls that have been used, don't bounce quite as well as they used to! So suitable for using with your dog, or children maybe.

271d

Free: Glass ramekins (Longden SY5) Gifted 8 ramekins - I think they came from the Gu desserts. Don't know if they are suitable for dishwasher, microwave or oven, but obviously sound for cold desserts.

271d

Request: Monitor connection cable (Longden SY5) Received I am after a cable like the one pictured with pins at each end. There are 5 pins on 3 rows, and the connection is the same at both ends to fit in the slot shown on the TV here. I am sure everyone knows what I am talking about, but just to be clear, it's the connection with the two little screws that you tighten up. Needs to be about 3ft long minimum. It probably has a proper name but I am not a techie. If anyone has one lying idle, I would love to make use of it. Thanks
