Potted Amaryllis (Glyne Gap TN40)
Gifted
Will produce stunning red flowers if looked after. To understand their needs, see / The large pot has a 20cm diameter at the top and contains a single large bulb. The longest leaves are 60cm. The smaller pot has several plants that could be re-potted individually between January and March. Note that the red pot is damaged at the top. If you want one plant, specify red pot or black pot. If you want both, make this clear. These will be fine outside in the summer but you will also need somewhere cool for the dormancy period and a suitable indoor spot for them for cold months.

Decking - Composite or Preserved Wood (Glyne Gap TN40)
Received
Do you have any surplus decking? I want to improve the warmth of my coldframe as I lost plants stored in it during the winter. Part of the problem is pots sitting on a cold hard surface so I want to line the bottom. 5 lengths of decking that are at least 5 foot (153 cm) long needed. Paul

Van Haus Corded Angle Grinder (Glyne Gap TN40)
Gifted
This has stopped working. I think the problem is the switch, which has been temperamental for sometime. It's the basic model (900w?), about five years old and only used about a dozen times. I have never replaced the cutting disc so all the others that came with it are untouched. So probably for someone with knack for fixing things or who just wants the discs.
