Foot stool (Penrith CA11)
Gifted
H29, W 46, D 29.5 cm. Patterned rust coloured. A bit worn, with a few threads pulled (cat damage) but very sturdy a you can stand on it to reach things from high shelves, which is handy. Worth getting re-covered but it’s fine as is if you aren’t too fussy. I got it from an antique shop years ago. Fire label on reverse (pictured).

Brand New Pink Faux Fur Sheepskin Rug (Penrith CA11)
Gifted
Barbie pink! Still in its packaging. I bought it thinking it might work as a throw for a chair but one look at the colour told me it wouldn’t work so didn’t even bother unwrapping it. However a little girl might love it for her bedroom....

Old gardening magazines (Penrith CA11)
Received
I’m looking for old gardening magazines like ‘Gardens Illustrated’, ‘The English Garden’ or similar. I’ve started again with the garden and all my borders are empty so I’m looking for ideas of what the plant for a good show of summer colour. Thanks.

Hand held vacuum (Penrith CA11)
Gifted
Charger included. It’s in good condition but I’ve recently bought a Dyson which came with a handheld vacuum as part of the set so I no longer need it. This one is suitable for picking up small crumbs and stuff like that. It’s not for ‘heavy duty’ vacuuming though as the suction isn’t strong enough.

Cold box and ice packs (Penrith CA11)
Received
Hello, I have a hospital appointment in Newcastle soon and a nurse has phoned and told me that I will be given my next batch of medication to bring back with me at the appointment. The problem is, it has to be kept cold and I need to stop it from warming up on the drive back to Penrith. Could anyone give me a cold box and/or ice packs for the journey? Hopefully this is a one off as it is normally delivered to me at home via a refrigerated van but for some reason they want me to transport it myself this time, probably because my appointment in Newcastle coincides with when I need the next batch. I’d be really grateful if someone could help me out.

Microchip operated cat feeding bowl (Penrith CA11)
Gifted
Well used but in good working order. Stops other cats from eating the food meant for your cat. Good for multicat households. Also keeps food fresh and prevents wet food from drying out. Your cat needs to be microchipped for this to work as the lid opens when the reader detects your cat’s specific microchip is nearby. Bowls that fit the feeder also provided.

Texturising seasalt spray for hair. I’ve only just bought it. I’ve used it once but it seems I’m allergic to it (I have lots of allergies so other people may be ok with it).
