Small armchair (old) (Walkley S6)
Small armchair. Bought in a junk shop in the early 1990s so pretty old. Does NOT have fire safety label and will therefore not conform to current fire safety standards as it is. But the wooden frame is sturdy and this might be a nice upcycling project for someone who wants to have a go at upholstery. Approximate dimensions: 91cm tall, 64cm wide, 75cm deep. Evening collection preferred. Some lunchtimes possible. To avoid disappointment please check your messages on the app/website or provide a mobile number.

Hoover Enigma Vacuum Cleaner (Walkley S6)
Gifted
Update: This has now been offered to someone, with 2 people in reserve. These people have now been contacted. Read carefully - I am expecting this to be popular… Pull-along vacuum cleaner. Works well. Fairly light-weight, and I have found it easy to manage on stairs. Various attachments as shown in the second picture, which store inside the top. There is one spare bag. I will wait until 8pm today before I choose who to offer it to. That person will have 24 hours to respond to arrange collection, before I offer to the next person. Evening collection easiest with me.

Small backpacks (Walkley S6)
Gifted
2 small Eurohike backpacks. The one on the left of the picture is slightly larger. You can just get an A4 ringbinder to fit in the smaller of the two. These have been well used over many years, so are NOT reliably waterproof any more. My mum replaced the main zip on the larger one. They are great for short trips (such as a quick shopping trip), but not all that comfortable if you want to carry them for a longer time. Take one or both. Evening collection best with me. Some lunchtimes possible. Please remember to check messages and spam filters if you request this item, or provide a mobile number.
