Fancy dress or Panto Rat or mice costume tails (6) (Selsdon CR2)
Are you or anyone you know in a drama group or maybe a school planning a show or Christmas Panto featuring rodents - rats or mice? Think along the lines of Cinderella's coach, Dick Whittington, or Maurice's Rodents. I have six rat or mouse tails, made by me, that have done sterling service in all the above shows and many more over the years like Puss In Boots, and Wind in the Willows. It's amazing how many shows feature rodents! They have lots more use in them still, but none of my usual suspects are planning anything or want to use them again and I can't keep them. They have wire inside so can take any shape. They could even curl right up and be pig's tails if you are doing Animal Farm or Charlotte's Web. They just safety pin on to whatever costume. I just want them to be useful to someone else. Tell me what show you are doing! Also good for Fancy Dress or World Book Day?

Old Double Duvet (for pet bedding?) (Selsdon CR2)
Gifted
A double sized duvet, past its best. Being surplus to requirements it was clean when it was rolled up and stored in a cupboard for about 20 years, and now appears discoloured along the edges where it was in contact with some pink paintwork. Possibly suitable for pet bedding - large dog or similar.

Washing liquid stuff (Selsdon CR2)
Gifted
This came free with my new washing machine about a year ago and I just found it in a drawer. Not something that I ever use and it's only a little thing but every little helps. Reluctant to put chemicals like this into landfill if they can be useful to someone.

Mailer envelopes (Selsdon CR2)
Expired
Can anyone make use of these used mailer envelopes I seem to have accumulated? There are 14 of them, assorted sizes - got bubble wrap interiors, and all the previous address labels removed. Perfectly sound enough for reuse.

Light bulbs (Selsdon CR2)
Gifted
Clearing my parents house I came upon this box of lightbulbs. They are no use to us being either too bright for our taste - a couple are 150W - two have screw fittings not bayonets and none of our fittings take screws - or they are two large for our fittings. Please take all together. Not tested so no guarantee all will work but they must be useful to someone?

Useful caddy (Selsdon CR2)
Gifted
Useful in bathroom or kitchen (we have used it in both rooms in the past) as a caddy for brushes, tools, sponges, or other bits and bobs. Addis brand, so it is well-made and sturdy. Perfectly sound, looks a slightly deeper cream than it comes over in these photos, but a bit discoloured in un-noticeable places due to age.

Astra Wing mirror glass (right-hand) (Selsdon CR2)
Gifted
This is specifically the right-hand driver's side - glass only - of a wing mirror for a Vauxhall Astra 'H' series Mark 5 dating between 2002 to 2010. Our old Astra is long gone! If you have a Astra of the right date you might like this for emergencies. Note - glass only - but you can see it has never been out of the box. Fitting instructions included.

Plastic take-away boxes (Selsdon CR2)
Gifted
Do you meal-prep, or make up packed lunches? Useful in fridge and freezer and other storage needs but I just have accumulated too many of them. Bag of about 50, small variety in the sizes, plus a similar number of lids.

Midi pants (Selsdon CR2)
Expired
I would normally not dream of offering second-hand underwear on here but these I promise you are completely unworn, and I have given them a wash because they have just been in a drawer for years. Wrong size ordered and never got round to taking them back. Was a pack of 5 black midi pants from Sainsbury's, 95% cotton, 5% estalane, 100% cotton gusset, size 12. Would really feel guilty if I have to put them in landfill!

Kettle (Selsdon CR2)
Gifted
Little electric kettle - capacity .85 lt - absolutely nothing wrong with it and has not had much use - but it was a bit small for our needs and we got another one.
