Damaged panel panel door (West End Village SO30)
Too badly damaged I think to actually use as a door, so just asking in case someone has some imaginative other use

Bits for shed guttering (West End Village SO30)
Gifted
Leftover bits from when we installed guttering and downpipe on our shed, to catch the rainwater. As shown, includes some short bits of gutter and downpipe (longest bit is about 3' long), clips, corner piece, gutter-to-downpipe joining piece. This is the smaller diameter stuff that's only for outbuildings etc., not full-size guttering like on a house. If you're planning a similar project, it should save you a few quid.

Scandishake Mix (West End Village SO30)
Withdrawn
High energy nutritional supplement. Meant for people who aren't eating well, or who need to catch up on calories after illness. They are out of date (June 2025) although I expect they’d still be ok. 9 x 85g sachets altogether.

Watches (West End Village SO30)
Gifted
Five watches. All analogue dial except the white one. None are currently going, but probably just need new batteries. If you have a family member who gets through lots of watches, you could see if replacing the batteries in these (which I think all stopped without any actual damage) might get you at least a couple of almost-free ones. (The watch-fixing stall at Bitterne Precinct market is excellent and cheap, and sometimes succeeded for me where a jeweller failed. Not sure where else he trades.) Two have a broken strap as shown, but these are cheaply replaceable too.

Pair of Speakers (West End Village SO30)

Mission 760i. They were reckoned to be quite good in their day, but that was thirty odd years ago. 30cm x 20 x 18

Xmas lights transformer plug (West End Village SO30)
Received
If you happen to have a broken set of lights, but its transformer plug is fine and roughly matches the spec of this one... I'd be really grateful? We happen to have two sets with identical transformers, so we found that on this set it's the transformer that's mysteriously bust, not the lights.

7 Wine Glasses (West End Village SO30)
Expired
Quite tall wine glasses with an attractive 'ribbed' pattern. Set of 6 plus one spare. Collection Times: Anytime - can leave them out for you.

Solid wood cabin bed & storage (West End Village SO30)
Expired
Cabin bed with half-height wardrobe/cupboard (rail and/or 2 shelves), chest of drawers, deep shelving unit, sturdy ladder which hooks onto the bedside. Can be set up the other way around. Need it gone in the next few days if at all possible. It's bare wood and has had a little wear and tear from our kid, so now it would probably be nicest if you paint it. This bedroom set is entirely solid wood throughout, and I think the person we bought it from second-hand 3 years ago (for £175) said her dad had made it. You'll need a van and two fit adults to move it - the bed unhooks from the frame which does also come apart, but like I said - it's all solid wood...

Make up (West End Village SO30)
Gifted
No7 Shimmer Face Palette. My mum-in-law is a committed user of various Boots products, and keeps getting given free gifts which nobody in the family wants to use! Hopefully this'll suit someone at least as a stocking filler.

Conversion For 'Heely' Roller Shoes (West End Village SO30)
Expired
These are the plastic fillers to put in to convert a pair of 'Heelys' to normal fashion trainers, plus the special tool and instruction leaflets. If anyone has the shoes but not the bits, here you go! (Sadly we gave away our last pair of 'Heelys' a few months ago, forgotten how or who to.)

Travel iron plus pouch (West End Village SO30)
Gifted
As shown. In mint condition and works as far as we know, may never have been used in fact (was my mum-in-law's). Bag is slightly grubby from where it was stored but should wash clean.

Bosch manual lawnmower (West End Village SO30)
Gifted
Used a dozen times at most. Perfect for a neat lawn in a modern housing estate, but too much hard work in our scruffy, lumpy 1960s garden!

Assorted outdoor toys/ sports (West End Village SO30)
Expired
As shown in picture, this bag of outdoor stuff for play includes bits for: - cricket (bat, stumps, leg pads) - football (goal nets & panel with holes for target practice, also sandbag with elastic for attaching a football for practising footwork without ball going astray. No actual footballs included, sorry, but we do have goals you can have if interested - please enquire) -boules (set of weighted plastic balls, and a little target ball which we used to replace the lost original one) - beach spades, sieve etc. - pond/butterfly net (has small tears in it) - plastic bats, rackets and balls The condition varies as shown. Whole lot to go together please!

Heavy cast-iron parasol base (West End Village SO30)

Long strip of window privacy film (West End Village SO30)
Gifted
Size: Width: 51cm (1' 8"), Length:: 6m (19'8"). Bought 5 years ago when we thought we needed to put one-way privacy film on some internal doors that had small glass panels (hence narrow width). We then found a different solution and never opened the parcel, as you can see! It's been kept indoors the whole time so should still be in usable condition.

IKEA 'Rationell' Hoover Tidy (West End Village SO30)
Expired
This little rack thingy is meant to be mounted on a wall or inside a cupboard, to help store your vacuum cleaner neatly. It has a curved clip to hold the hose, and another clip which I think is to hold a pipe/ attachment/ end of the hose (see pic on packaging in photo). Bought a few years ago but never unwrapped or used; we found a different solution.

Various teabags (West End Village SO30)
Gifted
No free lunch but here's some free tea! I love supporting the Clipper brand, but I'll admit my tastebuds just don't get on with these particular flavours. I've separately wrapped the herbal ones to avoid affecting the decaff black ones, but please take the lot.

'Hotwheels' set (West End Village SO30)
Gifted
Last time I checked (before it sat in a closet for years!), this 3D track set with 'destinations' was only missing one support tower (which we found you can easily replace with some Lego). Can't vouch for which cars are included but there's at least one, plus the box (badly torn but useful for the pics etc.), and the all-important assembly instructions. Could also integrate with other Hotwheels sets. Good used condition, hopefully still lots of fun for kids who *still* aren't back at school 😉

Reverse ring for a Pentax camera (West End Village SO30)
Expired
This was probably my father-in-law's so would have been for film cameras. Writing on the ring itself mentions a particular model but I don't know what else it would fit or even what it's for!

Wobble/sensory cushion (West End Village SO30)
Gifted
For kids/adults with ADHD or autism/ sensory issues. Clean and quite well inflated, but maybe can be pumped up firmer. Supposed to help hyperactive kids stay in their seats by giving them a chance to wriggle. (But my kids' teachers found it still created too much distraction, so if you intend this for school do have a chat with them first...)

16 pairs as shown, from Avon & Primark. As new, unworn and unwanted by the two earring wearers in our house!

Part for Bosch dishwasher (West End Village SO30)
Expired
Update from a helpful user: "It's a large tray attachment. Take the whole top rack out, plug this in at the back where the spray feed goes to the top washer arm, and you can wash massive trash and grilles." Wish I'd known this when the old dishwasher still worked!

Large kids' paddling pool + bits (West End Village SO30)
Expired
Kids' paddling pool with inflatable top ring. Pool was much loved by our kids, but still not leaking last time it was used (~4 years ago). Also filter pump and spare filters, and 'solar cover' (stiff blue floating bubblewrap circle which is meant to help keep the water warm). All visible in outdoor photo from 2019. Currently on an inaccessible high shelf, hence naff box picture (which shows the dimensions); will get it down if there's interest. Want the whole lot to go together if possible, please.

Biscuit tea (West End Village SO30)
Expired
Most of an opened box. These teabags make tea that tastes genuinely like normal tea does after dunking plain biscuits into it (e.g., Rich Tea or Nice or the like). Maybe for someone who likes their tea sweet, but is easing off on the biccies for health reasons? My son (not a tea drinker ) bought these to try to wean himself onto tea drinking, but gave up. They're too sweet for the rest of us.
