Travel iron plus pouch (West End Village SO30)
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.

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!

Conversion for 'Heely' roller shoes (West End Village SO30)
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.)

Heavy Cast-Iron Parasol Base (West End Village SO30)
Gifted
Pretty and heavy, got it free from someone else, screw is rusted stuck but could maybe be loosened. Could also be used to weight something down.

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!

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.

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)
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)
Withdrawn
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...)

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.

Jumbo remote control (West End Village SO30)
Expired
Jumbo 'universal' remote control, as shown. (2nd photo has my hand in it to show that it's enormous!) I'm afraid I don't know which TVs etc. this would still work with; you could try looking it up online. If you have a family member with reduced eyesight and/or dexterity, feel free to give it a go.

Mason Cash ceramic dog bowl (West End Village SO30)
Expired
Meant, I think, for spaniels and other floppy-eared dogs to keep their ears out of their food, but also potentially good for dogs who eat messily. New, only used and washed once.

Trampoline (please read carefully) (West End village, SO30)
Gifted
Trampoline with enclosure, fully dismantled since photo taken. Think it's 10' across. Still in good working order, was still bouncing our teenagers quite happily before dismantling. Just needs: new pads over springs, some pipe lagging on enclosure poles, possibly replacing a few rusted joint fixings. Enclosure is in good safe condition, other than a few tiny holes in the netting; zip and clips still all good (note this is the older-style one that's straight upright outside the springs). We've done some rustproofing work on the frame and springs; the base needs a bit more, so you're welcome to take the gunk for it too.

Single mattress (West End village, SO30)

John Lewis single mattress. One side heavily used and stained but the other, as per photo, like new because the user never turned it. We may also have a topper for it. Could be handy temporarily for somebody?

Pair of wall lights (West End village, SO30)
Gifted
Very elegant pair of chrome-effect wall lights, dusty but in excellent condition. I've removed one shade in the pic to show the type of bulb it takes (those tiny ones with two prongs, sorry don't know the code). Can't remember how many bulbs were working when these were taken down (I liked them a lot, but we needed wall cabinets there). Base has a built-in transformer. Bulbs are halogen but I think you can get lower-energy LED ones now.
