Free: Two rolls of roofing felt (Grove OX12) Unused. Delivered with a new shed last summer but there was more than I needed. One roll is heavy-duty, the other lighter. Felt is 1m by 4m (3'3" by 13'1")

2h

Free: Childrens outdoor chairs and play bath (Grove OX12) Three white chairs suitable for children up to about 8 or 10. One baby bath, rather dirty so I'd only recommend it for garden play. All in need of a scrub down. Take any or all!

24d

Free: An old Black & Decker strimmer. (Grove OX12) Was working last time I used it. Needs a lead, but if you are keen I might be able to organise one from bits in the garage.

24d

Free: Little-used charcoal barbeque (Grove OX12) Old, black steel. But still works! two grills with adjustable height.

24d

Free: Office chair, brown. (Grove OX12) Gifted Height is adjustable but it's higher than a normal office chair. Used but still very usable. Fabric is not torn.

33d

Free: weed puller (Grove OX12) Gifted I got this years ago and have used it a little. The idea is you twist it in to the soil so that the tines surround the weed roots, then pull the whole lot out. Tine are about 10 cm/4 inches long. Why don't you have a go with it!

50d

Free: Two garden benches (Grove OX12) Gifted Hardwood, Fairly old but still in usable condition. They react well to a coat of teak oil. Message me if you need precise dimensions. Could be unbolted to get in the back of a car. Take one or both.

60d

Free: Two-seater resin bench (Grove OX12) Gifted Colour rather faded and could do with a clean up, but it's been surprisingly durable. I might take a day or two to respond.

90d

Free: Inkjet cartridge refill kit (Grove OX12) Expired I don't use inkjet cartridges any more. Handy if you don't want to buy cartridges! One colour kit and two separate bottles of black ink.

102d

Free: Shower hose - 2 (Grove OX12) Expired Unused 1m shower hoses. I have two yo give away, both are chrome hoses; one has white ends and one has chrome ends. Take either or both, please say which when you reply.

145d

Free: Canon scientific calculator (Grove OX12) Gifted It comes with a rather nifty slip-on case that covers the screen. (Partly fitted in second image). All works fine, but I never use it these days. Maybe good for exams with no phones allowed?

188d

Free: Large collection of National Geographic magazines (Grove OX12) Expired The collection is the yellow blur on the bottom shelf in this photo. A bit old-school, but Nat Geog is famous for its clear prose, wide range of articles, and stunning photos. These date from the late 80s to the early noughties, with a few extra editions. More authoritative than random internet research. Could be handy for school projects for anyone still using real scissors and glue; I suspect a few of these will have bits missing. Or just a jolly interesting read!

233d

Free: Olympus film camera (Grove OX12) Gifted About 20 years old. Worked fine last time I used it. Comes with a very old roll of film. Good for a first foray into real film photography.

241d

Free: Finepix camera about 20 years old, with 2GB memory card. (Grove OX12) Gifted Working fine last time I used it. Takes better pictures than a basic smartphone. Comes with a case, 2GB card, and a CD with some software.

241d

Free: headphones, folding (Grove OX12) Gifted The cable retracts, and the whole thing sort of folds up. The fabric on the padded parts has lost its shiny surface.

279d

Free: Cupboard sensor light (batteries) (Grove OX12) Gifted Takes three AAA batteries. there's a bracket that screw to the wall, then the light clips in. Adjustable direction. Works fine but I've bought a rechargeable one. Switch for on/off/auto. On the auto setting it comes on when it's both dark and it detects movement.

279d

Free: Woodscrews posidrive zinc plated steel (Grove OX12) Gifted Left over from assembling a new shed. 50mm 40mm 25mm and 20mm

287d

Free: Shed Alarm (Grove OX12) Gifted Was supplied with a new shed. Could I guess be used for a lockup garage. Unopened so I have no idea how loud it is.

287d

Free: Greenhouse heater paraffin (Grove OX12) Gifted As the cold weather comes in, this could be just what you need to keep the frost off your seedlings! Was working when I last used it but that was years ago. Certainly needs a wipe down! Approx 62cm high by 35cm wide

287d

Free: Small charcoal BBQ (Grove OX12) Expired Hibachi style, used a couple of times. Fine if you are colling for two people - it's standing on 18" slabs in the picture for scale. I'll wait a day or two before responding.

319d

Free: 20mm gravel, about a quarter of a dumpy bag (Grove OX12) Gifted Left over from a shed base project and now surplus to requirements. Your challenge will be how to get it home. Unless you can get it into a vehicle you'll need to live close to the south end of Brereton Drive.

327d

Free: sharp sand, about a quarter of a dumpy bag (Grove OX12) Gifted Left over from a shed slab and now surplus to requirements. Your challenge is working out how to get it home; unless you can get it into a vehicle you'll need to live close to the south end of Brereton Drive.

327d

Free: Pillows and duvet (Grove OX12) Expired Several pillows and a king-sized duvet. All used but in a clean condition. Pet bedding for someone?

360d

Free: Magnifying headband (Grove OX12) Gifted Works fine, I bought a slightly better one from a charity shop! Has two levels of stereo magnification and an extra loupe on one side.

1y

Free: Tent pegs (Grove OX12) Gifted A whole bag of tent pegs - I've bought hardcore ones so these are surplus to requirements.

1y

Free: Vax filters (Grove OX12) Gifted I suspect they are are this type ; bought in a panic during lockdown and now no longer wanted. If you have a VAX these could be for you!

1y

Free: Toolboxes (Grove OX12) Gifted Two wooden toolmaker's toolboxes. Both came from freegle and I've not yet found them a use. Maybe you can! Feel free to take either or both. They are completely different provenance, but both are wooden, painted, and would benefit from some TLC. The black one is 41x16x33cm and the greeny one is 50x21x28cm. The internal drawers are just wood-on-wood sliding. The green one has some sort of fittings in the lid so has been customised to fit something at some point. Each one has a space inside beneath the bottom drawer.

Free: VAX filters type 90 to suit Vax Mach upright (Grove OX12) Expired I got these during lockdown with a thought to make a filtered air supply. Of course like so many other lockdown projects it never happened - ah, happy memories. Two sets, unbranded but I'm pretty sure they are "Pre & Post Motor HEPA Filter Set for Vax Type 90 Mach Air Upright Vacuum Cleaner", judging by images on ebay.

1y

Free: Odd double screw thread window stay (Grove OX12) Gifted Very heavy, steel I think with a gold-coloured finish. You turn the loop on the end and it opens about 30cm (12 inches) - could be used for a greenhouse or shed window?

1y

Free: Tent pegs (Grove OX12) Gifted A bag of tent pegs; about 18cm long, sturdy. Maybe 20 pegs all told. Get ready for the summer!
