Request: Sophie la Giraffe squeaky toy (New Town TN22) One of our dogs loves these and they last a surprisingly long time. I also like the fact that they are made of natural materials, so safer for her to chew than some cheap toys. Any that are out-grown or not quite clean enough for your baby will be gratefully accepted. I'm posting in Uckfield & Heathfield but also willing to travel to Lewes area on school days.

Free: Sansco outdoor CCTV cameras x3 (New Town TN22) Gifted Sansco 2MP CCTV cameras, black & white plus infra-red. Need 12v DC input using standard CCTV cables (not wireless). 2 cameras are brand new and the third is used with a damaged bracket pivot.

Free: Mixer tap water-saving aerator with swivel nozzle. (New Town TN22) Gifted Exactly as the title says. This device screws into the end of the mixer tap in your sink, basin etc. Obviously, you need the end cap on your mixer tap to be capable of being unscrewed. It's a really useful way of reducing water use and being able to direct the water spray to all the corners of the sink. Unfortunately, none of my taps have threaded ends so I can no longer use it. I'm not setting a specific deadline but want this to be taken soon so it avoids ending up in landfill.

Free: Powerful solar floodlight with sensor and large solar panel (New Town TN22) Withdrawn The floodlight is very bright (about 500W) and has adjustable time, distance sensitivity and lux level (level of ambient light at which the light will activate). There is about 5m of cable attached to the panel which plugs into the light. The light has a master switch so it can be switched off if necessary. Mount the panel and light on the vertical or horizontal surface of your choice. The catch: the battery in the light is getting old so does not hold much charge. The light will still be activated as expected but does not stay on for very long. It will switch on again immediately if reactivated. It is still very useful if you need an area to be illuminated where you are moving about and therefore triggering the light frequently.

26d

Free: Radiator insulation/ heat reflector (New Town TN22) Gifted Just what you want to think about during summer! Roll approx 180cm long and 47cm wide. It is made of foam-backed foil, is very light and can be cut to length with scissors or a knife. It fits behind any radiator against the wall using tape, Blu-tac etc with the foil facing towards the radiator to reflect the heat back into the room instead of going through the wall to the outside. I'm not setting a deadline but would like to go soon to avoid going into landfill.

27d

Free: Garden parasol, 2m diameter (New Town TN22) Gifted Green, blue & red floral design. Approx 2m diameter. Needs some kind of pot to stand it in or a hole in the middle of the table. Real 1980s/90s kitsch style but very useful. I'm not setting a specific deadline but would like this to go soon in order to avoid it taking up space and being broken up for landfill.

In good working order except DVDs sometimes stick in the drive and it freezes. Door needs gently prising open with a screwdriver to release the DVD, then all is OK again. No instruction manual. As I expect this to be popular, I will favour people who can collect early.

Free: Steve Brown toilet seat (New Town TN22) Gifted A lovely quirky Steven Brown design toilet seat made by Croydex. The lid is in excellent condition (what looks like marks are just light reflections). Two of the feet under the seat have been flattened (after-market replacements can be purchased) but otherwise excellent condition. This was a self-closing lid but the mechanism failed, so has been removed. I'm loathe to throw away such a lovely design but I don't have the skills to replace the self-close mech.

Free: Art deco armchair (New Town TN22) Expired Tan coloured vinyl. Size 42" wide, 37" deep, 33" high. Sits on 4 wide wooden feet. Very comfortable. Some wear plus some paint marks but plenty of life left. I picked it up for free yesterday but it's too big for me to carry indoors. It's currently outside so needs to go as soon as possible; therfore, I will favour those who can collect soonest. It's easily accessible at the front of my driveway.
