Free: Green parasol cover (Loughborough LE11) My parasol was broken and had to go to the tip. So the cover is now spare. Nothing wrong with it.

Free: Brush head for garden broom (Loughborough LE11) Just got a spare one that I don't need if yours needs replacing!

3h

Free: Purple bin liners (Loughborough LE11) I think the bin men gave them to me to use when I have recycling side waste as you are not allowed to use black bin liners for recycling side waste. I just have too many.

Free: Garden Stakes (Loughborough LE11) 3 of them. These are stronger than pea sticks. 90cm high.

3h

Free: Pea/support sticks for garden (Loughborough LE11) Some are 24 inches, some 90 cm. Useful for supporting plants

3h

Free: Hanging garden dish (Loughborough LE11) This is a pretty little dish with a chain so it can hang down. There are no drainage holes so would not be suitable for bird food but could be used to hold water. Or you could use it simply as an ornament. Or take the chain off and place it on a table.

Free: Plexidor Pet door (Loughborough LE11) This is heavy duty anodised aluminium frame with shatter resistant plexiglad panel. I bought it originally to act as a cat door as it has good draught proofing. But I got a new back door in the end that came with a cat flap so I didn't use it. However, it may be more suited as a dog door due to its strength. They say it can be fitted to UPVC doors and I have instructions but maybe it would be better fitted in wood or brick. The instructions and installation template are included. It's about 25 cm square. It's 45 mm thick so thicker than UPVC doors so the instructions say the overlap needs to go inside of door to retain weatherproofing. See 4 photos.

Free: Ironing board and iron (Loughborough LE11) Withdrawn I'll be moving house into one which already has an iron and ironing board so don't need mine. They work fine, just had them a long time. Possibly the only drawback is they may be heavier than modern boards and irons which use more plastic than metal. If any use to you let me know. They will be going to tip or charity soon as someone is helping me clear my house so get in touch asap.

Free: Pelargoniums(Geraniums) (Loughborough LE11) Gifted I have 5 small rescued Geraniums. I have repotted and watered them and cut off the dead flowers so they are now healthy. Geraniums can flower until first frosts so I think they will flower again, in fact 2 already have, and if not, if you keep them frost free over winter, they'll flower next year and last several years. You can also take cuttings and make more! If you would like 1 or more, get in touch.

15d

Free: Canon 511 colour ink (Loughborough LE11) Gifted 2 ink cartridges i have found. Think they were for my previous printer. They are sealed so unused.

Free: Myoovi Tens machine for pain relief (Loughborough LE11) Gifted Good condition. It is designed for period pain relief. I actually bought it to see if it would help with a hernia pain but I had a strangulated bowel so nothing was going to help apart from an operation. If anyone would like to try this I am happy to gift. See 4 photos for details.

Free: Pet bed (Loughborough LE11) Gifted My current cat is my mum's who passed away so her cat came to me with plenty of beds so don't need this one. It's about 21 inches by 18 inches across so could also suit a small dog. The sides unzip so you can remove them from the sponge inside and wash them, which I have done. Then there is a cushion inside.

Free: Vax dual power carpet cleaner (Loughborough LE11) Gifted Upright carpet cleaner. Not used. I bought it some time ago but then experienced health problems, with various surgeries including gallstones and 3 hernias in quick succession, so cleaning carpets myself did not seem a good idea! I haven't tested it as I never used it so not confident as to how it works and don't really want to fiddle with it if I'm not going to use it. But no reason to think it will not work. I still have the instructions. If you want to have a go with it let me know, I am happy to gift it to someone!

Free: Hoover Capture Cylinder Vacuum cleaner (Loughborough LE11) Gifted This has not been used a great deal. I was given a different vacuum from my mother as she found hers too heavy so I ended up with more vacuums than I needed! It's very light, has adjustable suction, extra tools such as a crevice too and pet turbo brush. I include several packs of bags, and an unused spare pre-motor filter and exhaust filter. I printed off some of the pages from the online instruction manuals but you might be better viewing the manual online and I can email you the manual if you can't find it. See the 6 photos to view the vacuum and accessories.

Free: Hanging bird feeder tray (Loughborough LE11) Gifted The tray, including wooden frame, is about 13 inch square. I didn't use it in the end as I used bird tables and a ground tray for the birds that need a flat surface.

29d

Free: Garden mesh (Loughborough LE11) Gifted 2 rolls of garden mesh. I never used them for some reason! One is !9mm mesh and the other is 25mm mesh.

Free: Bird feeder (Loughborough LE11) Gifted Wooden bird feeder. The shelf part is where you can scatter some food and the part under the shelf is where you can place one of those jars of peanut butter made for birds. Would need attaching to a wall I just never got round to using it.

Free: Greenhouse and Shed heater (Loughborough LE11) Gifted Perhaps not the best time to gift a heater but if you want to prepare for winter! Green tube heater. 500mm in length. Can be wall mounted or floor standing, see 4 photos. I got it for my greenhouse then used a different type in the end to fit shape of my greenhouse. So it has not been used.

Free: Sony LCD Digital Colour TV (Loughborough LE11) Gifted 21 inch screen. Remote and instructions included. Purchase receipt still attached to the instruction booklet. Bought Nov 2010 for use in my bedroom in case I was ill in bed but hardly used, because if I was ill I could not face watching TV! It was a good one. Nothing wrong with it. The 5 attached photos show all its features. Will play DVDs if you still have any!! I am moving to a house which already has 2 TVs so don't need to take 2 more with me.

Free: Coir pots (Loughborough LE11) Gifted Collection of coir pots that are great for growing plants from seed. Once the plant starts to grow you can put the plants still in the coir pot in the ground or container without removing the seedling from the coir pot which risks damaging it.
