Free: Weighted cushions for bed or chairs (Bussage GL6) Gifted Full description given by AI!! The IKEA SKOGN cushion is a discontinued accessory designed for bed headboards and backrests. Product Overview • Design: Rectangular bolster or headboard cushion with a weighted flap (containing metal/galvanized steel weights) that hangs over the back of a headboard or wall to keep it anchored in place. • Dimensions: Approximately 65 cm length by 40 cm width (filling weight ~540 g, total weight ~780 g). • Materials: Cover is a cotton-polyester blend (e.g., 92% cotton, 8% polyester) with a hollow polyester fibre inner cushion and a removable, washable cover We were given two of these several years ago by a kind Freegler but no longer have a use for them. The cushions are very firm and the covers are newly washed. We think they should go together. If you’re interested, a mobile number would be very helpful for sending you directions for collection.

Free: Roller blind (Bussage GL6) Gifted A roller blind that we have replaced. It has a few minor marks on but it might come clean with a wipe down and still has plenty of life in it. The material measures 44” (112cm) across and has a drop of 66” (168cm). You will need to have a recess which is wide enough to accommodate the fittings on either side (a few cms). If you wanted to install it on the outside of your window recess the window could of course be narrower than the 45-46” width of ours. If you’re interested, a mobile phone number will be very helpful to text you the directions for collection.

Free: Loft hatch and surround (Bussage GL6) Gifted See photos. This is the type that you need a ladder for… push it up, turn it round and pass it back down through the aperture (or leave it in the loft) before accessing your loft space. It consists of a “frame” which measures 73cm x 65.5cm and the inside dimensions of that (where the hatch itself sits) are 61.5cm x 54cm. The frame trim is 2cm deep and the inside edge of that (which goes up into the lift) measures 9cm. It’s made of fibreglass so it shouldn’t need painting. As you can see, the inside of the hatch itself is insulated with polystyrene. A mobile number would be very helpful if you’re interested. I can text you the address and directions. Feel free to inspect it before committing if you’re not sure about it.

Free: Berghaus walking boots ladies size 6 (Bussage GL6) Expired See photos. Still a bit of life in these. May suit someone with a one-off challenge to undertake in the drier months. The waterproof membrane has gone so they no longer keep your feet dry in really heavy rain although they will weather a shower. There is a split on one of the uppers where the rain will get in and the soles are showing some wear but they are still comfortable and functional. A mobile number would be helpful if you are interested so we can text you the address and directions.

Free: Glass orchid jar or vase? (Bussage GL6) Gifted See pictures. This was a gift with a small orchid growing in the plastic cup. The orchid didn’t survive! It measures 35cm (14”) high, 12cm (5”) diameter. In addition to the “orchid soil” in this, I have a further quantity from another larger one that I didn’t manage to keep alive. You can take the jar with or without the orchid soil. Please provide a mobile number if you can so that I can text you the address and directions.
