Free: Bird feeder (Wells, BA5) Promised This feeder cost a fortune (£35) and I bought it to protect my little birds food from the starlings (they have their own feeder !). It did do what I needed to but I did not get on well with it, the bottom plate seems to come loose even after tightening and the top hanger isn't big enough for me because I have to hang it high in the tree to protect from the local cats. It has dropped to the floor a couple of times and I am not sure why because the lid was screwed tight. I was going to recycle it at the tip but thought there might be someone out there who could fix the issues and make it work.

Free: Toilet Seat (Wells, BA5) Perfectly good toilet seat, like new.

5h

Free: Extension power cable (Wells, BA5) 4 sockets. Not PAT tested but was working perfectly well when I used it last.

Free: Old metal washing line pole (Wells, BA5) Withdrawn This has to be the strangest item I have ever posted ! I have just cut down the 70's metal washing line pole from the garden. I don't think anyone will want it, but before I take it to the tip, I thought I would post it in case there is someone who could make use of it. It has all the bits at the top to string it to another one and the bits halfway down to wrap the line around it. I'll leave this post up for a week.

Free: Geranium & Elephants Ears (Wells, BA5) Expired Geranium root, will die back in winter but great cover with purple flowers. Elephant Ears root with lots of new leaves. Evergreen with pink flowers in spring.

108d

Free: Purple iris roots (Wells, BA5) Gifted Two good size clumps of purple iris roots. They produce the most gorgeous flowers early spring. I've left the leaves so they can be cut back once replanted. Can be left outside for easy collection. Really need them gone over the weekend.

149d

Free: Himalayan Honeysuckle (Wells, BA5) Gifted Needs to go in the ground, they grow very large but cut back in the winter and they come back. Beautiful hanging deep purple flowers and fruit you can eat. I've just been told it may be toxic for rabbits, so bear that in mind.

149d

Free: Hazel Tree (Wells, BA5) Gifted Pot not included. Lovely plant but not happy in the pot this year, really needs to go in the ground and I don't have any space.

150d

Free: Empty plastic pots (Wells, BA5) Gifted Various sizes. Clean. Need gone asap, seems a shame to skip them. Can leave out for easy collection.

150d

Free: Window feeder (bought from Crocus) (Wells, BA5) Gifted Window feeder for small birds. They love it but I only have one window I can attach it to and it is a mirrored glass and they eat and then try to fly into the window ! I also have a standard peanut feeder and a suet feeder if you would like those too.

154d

Free: Weed suppressor 9ft x 12ft carpet (BA6 Glastonbury) Gifted Old 9 x 12ft carpet that is well past using indoors but excellent if you wanted to suppress weeds. It is available for collection in Glastonbury. Made from wool so very heavy and will need a very strong person to load, preferably two. Please message if interested and we can arrange from there.

210d

Free: Handmade box with hinged lid (Wells, BA5) Expired 28cm deep, 70cm tall, 69cm wide. Arts and craft style. Has had woodworm but all flown so does have holes. Bottom could do with replacing depending on what you are going to store in it. Bought at auction without viewing so much bigger than expected and too big for where I wanted to hang it. Lovely piece and great storage.

282d

Free: Piano stool legs (Wells, BA5) Gifted Lovely solid wood, although covered in gloss paint with lovely carving. Was once an adjustable piano stool but sadly only the legs are left. Before I skip them, I thought there may be a talented woodworker out there who could turn them into a wonderful side or coffee table. Collection Wells.

Free: 2 x plants in need of love and care (Wells, BA5) Gifted I have a peace lily and spider plant that are healthy but just not very happy. Is there someone who could give them a good home and give them the attention they need to thrive.

Free: CD / Radio player with USB port (Wells, BA5) Expired Retro, looks lovely but USB port doesn't work, radio is touch and go but CD player does work (the last time I used it). If there is a tech person out there who can look at it and make it work well, it is a lovely little machine. Sad to see it go but great if someone can make it reliable.

Free: Garden glass table and 2 chairs (BA6 Glastonbury) Gifted All a bit rusty but very sturdy and with some TLC could look great again (umbrella not included). Collection from Tor View Avenue, Glastonbury .. sooner rather than later.

Free: Braun TexasStyle5 Iron (Wells, BA5) Expired Excellent iron. I've dropped it and the water cover for the steam has broken off and it doesn't seem to steam anymore but still an excellent iron. Hot, medium, cool. Like new.

Free: Plants x 2 (Wells, BA5) Gifted Only plant lovers apply please. Babies of other plants of mine, they have been repotted recently but are struggling and I just have too many. One is a Monstera baby, a bit misshapen so I've added twisted hazel to add support and the other is a peace Lilly and with more care than I can give they will turn out to be lovely plants. Planted in organic soil in plastic pots. Cover pots are not included.

Free: FujifilmFinePix compact camera (Wells, BA5) Gifted This is old in digital camera terms but it still takes a good photo (well it did last time it was used by my mum). It has a zoom lens, card and instruction booklet. Corner hinge to cable has broken off but I have it so could be reglued. Battery charger too. I assume the software could be downloaded from Fuji if needed.

Free: Fujifilm S5000 Digital Camera (Wells, BA5) Gifted This is old in the world of digital cameras but it still takes a good photo (or at least it did the last time Dad used it) and he didn't use it much so really it is as new ! Takes 4 x AA batteries. Has a case, card, cable and software CD.

Free: Unused MP3 player (Wells, BA5) Gifted This was given as a gift to my mum so I don't know much about it except it is made by Philips and works with a PC not a Mac. Player, earphones and instruction booklet.

Free: Fujifilm S7000 52mm lens (Wells, BA5) Gifted Don't know anything about this other than in the title. Seems a shame to tip it if someone can use it ?

Free: Spray paint, Wood dye & raw plugs (Wells, BA5) Gifted 3/4 full gloss spray paint, some Indian rosewood wood dye and a bag of large, grey raw plugs. Would prefer them to go to one person. Will take to tip soon if no one can use them.
