external hardwood table with 6 chairs and umbrella (Scunthorpe DN15)
Gifted
you can see the quality of this set in 2019, I kept it clean using teak oil and a cover; but since then I have left it open to the elements. See the last photo take yesterday. Obviously it needs a timber coat to bring it back into use. I am too old and can't get down to paint it. Our grandchildren have grown up so we don't use it. It is a shame to let it go to rack and ruin. It cost me over £1000 (with the umbrella not shown). You will need a van to move it. The chairs fold down and go under the table for storage.

Mantis Tiller with lots of accessories - not working (Scunthorpe DN15)
Gifted
I bought this tiller in 2003; it has been very useful for de-thatching the grass, tilling the soil, edgeing the grass, and weeding in the brick paving. All of those accessories are included. I bought a new carburettor last year and new air filter: but i haven't been able to get it working properly. It fires up for 5 seconds and then dies. I am too old and disabled now to use it. I could sell it for parts on e bay (the de-thatcher accessory goes for just under £100) but i would prefer it goes to some one who would like to tinker with it and get it going properly again!

electric wheelchair - needs new batteries (Scunthorpe DN15)
Gifted
I bought this in 2003. It dismantles to get it in the boot. It is a 4mph scooter and it was ideal for me at that time. The batteries are flat and last time i looked them up they would have cost me £160. I started to walk again in about 2013 and it hasn't been used since. It shows how long it has been to get it reassembled i see that i have put the basket on the front in the pictures whereas it should have been under the seat.

6 lamp bulbs (120W) floodlamps, with E27 Edison fitting. (Scunthorpe DN15)
Expired
there are 6 floodlights which I will not use as I have gone to LED lamps. Four of which are new boxed and two which have been used. Shame to throw them away if someone can use them.

2 external plastic relaxing chairs; multifunctional (Scunthorpe DN15)
Expired
We have had these two chairs for years: we kept them out for the summer and then put them in the garage for winter. Over the years the surface has lost its sheen and has been spoilt by grey blots on its surface. I have tried cleaning them but I think it is the plastic degrading. You can get covers for them but they are expensive. I have even thought of painting them! Anyway they are substantial, wont blow in the wind unless very windy. Still have lots of life inside them. It is a shame to throw them away.

two Solway home networking plugs (Scunthorpe DN15)
Expired
i guess with improved Wi-Fi in the house then these plugs which allow for wired connection are less needed. Basically a wired internet is often a faster connection, and you can wire the TV or computer (for example) in your living room into your modem which could be in an upstairs room without having any messy (or long) cables. It uses the hard electrical wiring in your house as the internet cable.

Flymo edger and trimmer (Scunthorpe DN15)
Gifted
this is a few years old but still works. I have gone for a battery driven one which avoids the trailing leads. It uses 1.3 mm cutting chord.

Gifted
Its a 41cm hedge trimmer that works. It has a charger which i haven't photographed. Its not very powerful, hence i have bought a new more powerful one.
