Buttons (Longden SY5)

A jam jar full of various buttons, I think they are all new unused ones. I can see metallic ones, black, turquoise, pink, ivory, green, yellow, red, purple. A real mish mash!

Household soap (Longden SY5)
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.

Candle jars (Longden SY5)
Withdrawn
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.

Used tennis balls (Longden SY5)

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.

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.

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

Free:
Crockery 4 place settings (Longden SY5)
Gifted
Dinner plates, side plates, dishes, mugs in a pretty pattern of herbs with their names. Dishwasher and microwave safe. Officially, I think these were "seconds " but there's nothing wrong with them as far as I can tell. I have kept 4 settings and these are the best ones.

Wheeled holdall bag (Longden SY5)
Gifted
Adventuridge navy wheeled holdall bag with fabric handle, and retractable hard handle. 2 mesh pockets at side, separate top zipped compartment. Approximate dimensions 29cmx72cmx35cm Has white scuff type marks on it from being against the wall. These should easily brush off. Good capacity - I took it to Peru for a 10 day trip, it's like a large suitcase.

Gifted
Scarpa Mistral GTX walking boots inside 40 (6.5). Well used but still in good condition with plenty of life left in them. Sorry, they are a bit muddy.

Automatic irrigation device (Longden SY5)
Gifted
Works off of batteries. Two outlets with separate timers. Unfortunately, no irrigation tubes but it needs very thin ones. This is an excellent piece of kit and I found it very useful when I went away some years ago. I have tested it and it still works.

Cabin case (Longden SY5)
Gifted
Full size cabin case. Black fabric, 2 wheels and 2 legs. Telescopic handle for wheeling. 2 carry handles - one at top, one on the side. Front flattish compartment (useful, I found, for storing travel documents separate from the rest of the luggage). Has served me well but now surplus to requirements.

Iron cleaning cloth and pads (Longden SY5)
Gifted
Pads 3 pack, unopened so presume that they will still work (no expiry date on packet) Cloth seems to be open but I haven't used it (possibly my mum did as it came from her and does have a small hole in). It's reusable as you wet it (it's like a chamois)

Dyson DC14 vacuum cleaner (Longden SY5)
Gifted
As above. Needs a new flexible thing to cover the metal bit of the wand (hopefully you can see what I mean as I have also posted a photo of my Dyson with the flexihose in place). The motor works and it still has the 3 tools that fit on the top of the cyclone bit. I have kept this one as spares for my other and the only part missing is the aforementioned flexihose.

Foxgloves (Longden SY5)

Rocking chair (Longden SY5)
Expired
URGENT. This will be off to the tip tomorrow (Monday) if nobody wants it. Bit of a project, not just for its appearance (sanding and varnishing?) but also in function. It needs struts etc securing to make it safe - wobbly arms, and the low struts need setting securely into the legs. Collection today!
