Free: Two very large strong cardboard boxes (Woodmancote GL11) Expired Two huge boxes which had furniture in. Useful for removals, or posting/returning large items. Would probably be big enough to post a bicycle. Dimensions: 107cm (42”) x 143 (56) x 33 (13”) and 108cm (42”) x 59 (23) x 49 (19) Collect from Dursley but will need a fairly large car unless you fold the boxes first

Free: Tempered glass screen protector for iPad Pro 11 inch (2018-) (Woodmancote GL11) Expired I have three unused screen protectors which should fit iPad Pro 11 inch tablets from 2018 - but not the 2024 M4 one. They should also fit a 10.9 inch tablet as long as the camera is at the top (ie portrait top). One is the 'papered' type texture, the other two are toughened glass. The first one I used lasted so long that I never needed these other ones!

Free: Bluetooth keyboard for tablet (Woodmancote GL11) Expired Backlit Bluetooth keyboard. Has an 11 inch tablet case but can be connected to any Bluetooth device that needs a keyboard, I think. I used it with an iPad and also my phone. Battery is OK and the size is about enough to type comfortably on unless you've got really big hands! Has its own internal battery which lasts several days. A little dusty but in good condition.

Free: Small aquarium with light & heater (Woodmancote GL11) Expired 34 litre (nano) Fluval Flex tank with bowed front and lid. Faint scratches but clean. Watertight but I would re-seal it to be on the safe side. Not suitable for goldfish or bigger fish but ideal for shrimp, tropical snails or tiny fish

Free: Cabinet for aquarium (Woodmancote GL11) Expired Black cabinet with cupboard and drawer, reinforced for use as an aquarium stand. 40x60cm base, about 70cm tall. Good condition

Free: Sea beans (Woodmancote GL11) Gifted Sea hearts, hamburger beans - these are drift seeds with very hard shells that can be polished (even in a rock tumbler) and used in craft projects. Often thought lucky. I had some for making key fobs etc and these didn’t get used. Need a good home!

Free: Tiny bronze herb sickle (Woodmancote GL11) Gifted Small plain sickle for collecting mistletoe, herbs etc. Doesn’t get used & needs a new home. Part of my ‘why am I hanging on to all these oddments’ belated spring clean...

Free: Large piece of white hardboard with backing frame (Woodmancote GL11) Gifted Clean new piece of white hardboard 810mm x 1395mm (32x55”). This was the back panel of a flat pack wardrobe but I didn’t use it so it’s just a new panel, surplus to requirements. Would be good for mounting a large poster, using as a notice board or of course backing a wardrobe. Not heavy but needs a fair amount of car space.

Free: 2 White curtain tracks for bay window (Woodmancote GL11) Expired 2 white curtain tracks with hook hanger things; it's the sort you can bend to fit bay windows. Not a heavy curtain pole: this is lightweight but quite strong, and has nice smooth tracking except on the bay window corners. One has been used (but could be bent to fit a different window) and one hasn't been used. Will also fit a normal window, or could be cut into smaller rails for small windows. There's some unused hooks as well, separate from the tracks.

Free: Very long, strong cardboard tube (Woodmancote GL11) Expired 240cm long packaging tube in high density cardboard, quite thick. It was used to mail some fancy beading and could be used for a similar purpose (beading, curtain rail etc) or cut up to provide fun tunnels for ferrets or guinea pigs. If you wanted it in one piece you'd need a medium to large car as it's so long. Photo is a bit rubbish but it's basically quite clean & dry and presumably only used once.

Free: Walking stick (Woodmancote GL11) Gifted White metal walking stick, hospital grade and very strong. Cleaned with 'clear Dettol'. Adjustable and quite comfy to use, you can really lean on it (it was my Mum's, and I have also used it when I sprained my ankle). It's going to waste now and needs a new home. Given the nature of the thing I'm prepared to drop it off within the Dursley area if it can't be picked up.

Free: Curtain poles for straight and bay windows (Woodmancote GL11) Gifted Two matching curtain poles - distressed brass type, fairly clean condition but not new. Just noticed a bit of paint of one of them. Anyway, one has bendy bits to go round a bay window, and one is straight - about 170cm. Ball shaped end wotsits. C-shaped curtain rings (the sort designed to draw past the mounting brackets even in a bay window). Not sure if all the mounting bits are there, it looks like it. These are quite chunky, strong poles and would take heavy curtains. I prefer blinds to curtains so these need a new home. Note: zoom in on the photos as the smaller image makes the pole bits look shinier than they actually are!

Free: CD player & DAB radio cube system (Woodmancote GL11) Gifted This Ministry of Sound cube microsystem still works after nearly 20 years and looks surprisingly good for its age. It takes up too much room in my new house as the cubes are quite substantial (19cm across, and the subwoofer is bigger). I packed the cubes back into their original box. They are as the picture, plus a rectangular subwoofer and a remote. The sound quality is excellent, and I used it with a dongle that picks up Bluetooth from a phone etc. so it was quite handy. It deserves a good new home!

Free: Set of ceiling and wall lights (Woodmancote GL11) Expired I have several candelabra-style ceiling light and matching wall lights which came with the house when I bought it. Distressed brass, except one which is silver metal. Mostly clean but with a few bits of dust and paint. In working order, might need new mounting screws. The white bulb shades are frosted glass, three on the ceiling ones, one on the side/wall ones. There's a few bulbs as well, which I don't need. Size: about 35cm/14 inches tall; ceiling ones are a bit wider than tall. These look nice when they're lit up, but my ceilings are too low for them & my taller friends have headbutted them occasionally... Let me know if you want any or all of them, they need a new home!
