Small storage jars (The Plantation GL5)
Promised
Note these are not air tight and so not suitable for jam making or preserving, but could be used for small items eg beads. Would prefer them to go as one lot, rather than individually

Unused preserving jars (The Plantation GL5)
We bought these and numerous others to make jam etc but these are surplus to requirements and thought maybe someone could use them.

Unused hearing aid batteries (The Plantation GL5)
Expired
These were all in drawer at my mum's house, she must have been holding on to spare packets for years. The earliest use by date was 2021 and the latest was 2024 so it's likely they won't last as long as new ones, but hoping they will be useful to someone.

Box full of various craft related odds and ends. (The Plantation GL5)
Gifted
Ideally I would prefer this all went in one go, but will consider requests for some of it if nobody wants it all. There are all sorts of things in here, including pens and pencils, stickers, stamps and inks, boxes for decorating, a marbling kit, tools for working with plasticine, fancy Italian wrapping paper, hundreds of cake candles, bits for scattering on a table or sticking on cards, even a couple of sew on things. I've tried to get everything shown in a photo but there's so much, I might have missed the odd bit Edit: Just found some spare art paper - watercolour, drawing, and sketching paper - and added to the box

Old Nintendo AR cards from Nintendo 3DS (The Plantation GL5)
Expired
Not sure what the point of these is but maybe someone can find a use

Stack of paper (The Plantation GL5)
Gifted
This paper is roughly 15x30cm, I would guess it must be 300 sheets or more.(The stack is about 10cm tall) I thought it might be useful to someone as scrap paper for kids to doodle on.

Sticky backed plastic (The Plantation GL5)
Gifted
A large amount of blue (probably over a metre) and a small amount of red (about 30cm) both are 45cm wide.

Old wooden bureau (The Plantation GL5)
Expired
This needs a bit of attention to get it back to a full working state, for example the right hand support for the writing surface doesn't slide out when you open it, but you can slide it out by hand, and the broken attachment is with it so it would probably be easy for someone who is handy to fix it Also the internal storage area in the top is a bit loose, which makes it hard to open the small drawer, but again you can move it by hand to open it and there are some loose wooden wedges which are probably meant to hold it in place. We are only getting rid of it because it's taking up space we need, but hopefully someone else will enjoy having it instead. The dimensions are 74cm wide by 40cm deep by about 100cm tall. Collect from the top end of Uplands (no idea what Freegle calls it The Plantation) I am happy to help get it into your car or van - it's too big for one person to move easily. I'll give it until Monday evening to allow everyone to see it, rather than just accept the first request that comes in.

Aluminium garden bench (The Plantation GL5)
Gifted
This was originally coated in some black paint but after many years it started to flake off. Since repainted with hammerite but as you can see I didn't do a great job of it. So now I'm hoping someone with greater ability than me can take it and repaint it for themselves. It's probably not going to be easy to take apart so best go to someone who has a car where you can fold the back seats down. Dimensions are 130 x 60 x 90cm

Box of Christmas bits (The Plantation GL5)
Expired
These boxes contain a variety of surplus bits, as seen in the photos. Hopefully it is obvious what everything is from the photos, it includes decorations, lights, crackers, giant plush baubles, a pair of reindeer socks and a festive Mr Potato Head I'd prefer these to go as one single lot, and I'm happy to drop them off in the local area (Stroud) If you are interested please give an indication of when you might be able to collect. One person suggested they were interested but then didn't respond to replies, so this is still available.

Large box of craft stuff (The Plantation GL5)
Gifted
This is big cardboard box full of various craft items that are no longer needed now that our kids have grown up. I can't realistically list all the items, but a few examples will hopefully give a flavour of what there is. I really want them to go as one lot, but obviously you can always offer bits you don't want to someone else. Coloured paper in many different colours Coloured plastic letter shaped buttons (whole jar) Felt tip pens 24 pack Stickers - mostly cats and hearts Cardboard shapes for decorating eg a 3d star, a heart, several small lidded boxes Some small mirrors Small pieces of fabric Glitter glue Ribbons Beads And that is just poking through the top third. Hopefully someone can find a use for it all!

Garden bench (The Plantation GL5)
Gifted
Garden bench with metal ends and wooden slats. The wood needs a bit of TLC, sanding down, and re-varnishing, and it's not especially strong, but I'm hoping someone can find a use for it.
