George Foreman Grill (Kennington SW8)
Gifted
good condition. A little wear, so that you can see the non-stick is going on the tops of the ridges. The food doesn't stick though. The trick to cleaning is to wipe the grill quickly and thoroughly immediately with kitchen roll, so that all fat and gunk is wiped off. Then it's easy to do the final clean with warm washing up water.

Cat scratch post (Kennington SW8)
Withdrawn
My annoying kitty just won't touch it, instead going back to an ancient, raggedy scratch pad, which I suppose I'll have to keep. I botched attaching the little bauble, but you could probably attach its string (which is inside in the picture) one way or another. The pictures should show that this isn't one of the really tall posts that takes up half the room.

Diatomaceous earth, pesticide (not food grade) (Kennington SW8)
Gifted
highly effective natural pesticide. I made a silly mistake ordering it, so I have far too much. If you have a jar like the one shown, or airtight container or bag, I can fill it with plenty. I won't give away the whole lot - noone would need so much!

medium sized light blue curtains 50x 52" deep (Kennington SW8)
Gifted
Not sure what material, cotton I think, soft, reasonably weighty, no lining. They've been in my drawer for years & I forget where they came from. They have a laundry ticket on, but they look washable to me too.

Philips steam iron (Kennington SW8)
Gifted
My sister's old iron. I've descaled it (twice), cleaned the sole plate (the chalky indents are *not* blocked steam holes: Philips seems to have lots of dummy steam holes, perhaps to channel the steam or to look good, but they get a film of scale that's difficult to remove and does no harm). I've done a set of my ironing with it, and it works well!

"Minky" compost hopper (Kennington SW8)
Gifted
you take off the green bit to feed in a bag neatly (though I find that a bit of a faff and never did). Perfectly clean - it's been through the dishwasher thorough setting. It's not tiny, but slightly smaller than the council type, so a good size if you've a bit less counter space.

Gifted
A little bit torn around the coat hanger hole. Still perfectly functional, and if you're very, very worried about moth, you can use safety pins or similar to close the gap.

Light summer single quilt (Kennington SW8)
Gifted
From my spare bedroom, almost never used. Just to reassure you I've washed it hot at 60 degrees so it's pristine! You can use these as an extra layer too, so they are useful in winter too. You can even put them in the same cover as a medium one to make a thick, warm winter quilt.
