Free: VHS tape cassette bird ID guide (Brownsover CV21) Package never opened, as you can see. Set of five VS video cassettes with pictorial identification information for British birds. Probably with the birds' calls and songs, but it's so long since I sent for them I can't remember. Ideally to be collected from Brownsover, but might be able to bring round if local.

Free: Large yoghurt pots x 25 (Brownsover CV21) Kilo yoghurt pots, some with handles, all with lids. Stack of 25. Terrible pictures, but if they're of use to you you'll know what they look like!

Free: Broken-hinge clothes airer (Brownsover CV21) Expired Must be a couple of decades old. Approx 1m40cm high when standing up, say a couple of feet wide and 18 ins across. Sorry about mixed measures.... Get in touch if accurate measurements would make a different to whether it's of interest. Would be fine for anyone who: -Could work out how to fix/replace the mangled hinge (this is what stops the airer standing); or -Could use the metal tubing (some rubber-covered) for some other purpose.

Request: Dementia-friendly jigsaw (Brownsover CV21) Expired For an elderly relative who used to be a jigsaw fan but is getting more confused. Does anyone have one of those large-piece, not too many pieces, jigsaws that they no longer have a need for? Thanks.

Free: National Geographic magazines (Brownsover CV21) Gifted Very large box full, dated 1950s on. Offering on behalf of a non-tech-savvy neighbour, so have no other info but if you're interested and have a query please get in touch.

Free: Breville Coffee Machine (Brownsover CV21) Gifted Breville "Cafe Style" espresso-cappuccino machine. We were given this to sell at our RNLI jumble trail stall by a neighbour, who believed it to be new and complete, though the box is somewhat crumpled. Turns out the handle for the filter container is missing (seen sticking out horizontally on the first picture) but someone a bit handy could surely find an answer to that. This makes it unsellable, we suppose, so would now be happy to shift it, but the tip solution seems a waste if the machine can do a job for someone. We haven't tried it out as it's otherwise in apparently new condition, with the two cups and saucers, jug, etc included. Haven't been able to find this model on the web, so guess it's a discontinued style.

Free: Depilatory wax (natural) (Brownsover CV21) Expired Very old (probably decades) but untouched - bought mistakenly thinking it was cream, enticed by its "cruelty free" and "natural" status, so has lived for years at the back of a cupboard. The wax and liquid have separated out a bit but I guess they could be stirred back together. Comes with spatula and strips.

Free: Baking Tray (Brownsover CV21) Expired As shown in photo, well used and some burning-on, though is clean otherwise. Twelve inches (about 30cm) square. Not recommended for baking now as one side has a break which lets liquids escape, and bit creased. A handy piece of aluminium for re-use, though.

Request: Handle for coffee maker coffee scoop (Brownsover CV21) Expired Breville espresso-cappuccino machine is new (I was assured by the person who gave it to me to sell on my RNLI stall) but is missing the handle for holding/retrieving the small scoop/holder - see photo of front of box, where it's shown protruding horizontally from the machine. Do you have one from, say, a no-longer working machine that could restore this one to a saleable condition?
