Free: small cushion (Corsham) Gifted Simple cushion - home made cover but nicely put together with a velcro closure so it can be removed for washing. It's about 2/3rds the size of a regular bed pillow and can come with or without the inner cushion.

20d

Free: Curtains - various (Corsham) Gifted 4 sets of regular curtains (the large yellow set has 4 curtains), and two single net curtains. Dimensions of each set is in its photo - they range between 180cm to 220cm long, and are 160cm wide (except for the cream set which are 122cm, and the nets are 250cm) All clean but used. There are some marks, foxing and fading - the blue ones in particular I can't decide if they are faded vertically across each one or were always an ombre effect. But if you've just moved and don't have funds for buying lots of curtains, these will still do the job as they did for us for many years before we redecorated.

23d

Free: King bed foot board (Corsham) Expired Was replaced on a new bed by the manufacturer due to minor defects where veneer was chipped on edges. Not massively noticeable but annoying on a new purchase hence replacement. It's oak and oak veneer - any want it for its original purpose or just to use for materials?

23d

Free: Postage tube (Corsham) Expired Good solid tube. Approx 48cm long, 8cm diameter, with caps.

23d

Free: Large sheets of corrugated cardboard (Corsham SN13) Expired Anyone need any at the moment for gardening or crafts? Approx 1 x 1.5m at the longest points, to give an idea of size.

53d

Free: Walnut seedlings (Corsham SN13) Expired Found planted in my garden by the local wildlife. I've no idea what kind they are but if you want to take a chance you might get some walnuts out of it! Take one or both

93d

Free: Sturdy old shed door (Corsham SN13) Gifted This is a full size door, taken from a brick built shed when I swapped the door for a solid one. Two holes present from where the lock and handle mechanism was removed. Looks a bit tatty, but the planks are thick and it's generally still solid.

143d

Free: Garden parasol - wind out mechanism (Corsham SN13) Gifted This blew into my partner's garden in the storms a while back - we've held on to it in case a neighbour came to retrieve it but no owner has appeared... It is rather dirty and has a hole (see second photo), but the winding mechanism to put it up works and I'm sure the hole could be patched up.

145d

Free: Very chunky pallets (Corsham SN13) Expired These arrived supporting a delivery of 1 tonne bags, and seem to be made of very thick planks for pallets! Easily accessible for collection any time.

161d

Free: Homemade plant protection collars (Corsham SN13) Gifted 31 of the square and 8 round (I may dig out another few and I tidy up). These are lengths of drainpipe with copper tape around them. I used these around seedlings when growing veg to protect from pests and weather when they were getting started. Just found in the shed and I don't need them any more. The copper would benefit from a clean.

168d

Free: Corkscrew hazel prunings (Corsham SN13) Expired A few lengths just pruned out of the garden. Interesting twisted shapes if anyone would like them

168d

Free: Large pieces of cardboard (Bath Oddown) (Corsham) Expired Packaging from IKEA Besta units (to give you an idea of size). Decent size sheets. Anyone want some for gardening or something before it gets recycled? Please note these are in BATH ODDOWN not Corsham, as I'm posting this for a friend.

211d

Free: IKEA storage box (Corsham SN13) Gifted 70 x 39 x 29cm. Basic storage box that they sold for not a lot of money, but good for throwing stuff in and keeping it out of sight. The top is just a sheet of wrapping paper that was slotted in, it's not glued and can be removed if wanted (it's rather old)

237d

Free: Beach shelter (Corsham) Expired This is definitely vintage, I'm pretty sure it would have been used when I was a kid! It's all there with fabric, poles and pegs intact, however the zipper is corroded so the front won't zip up and just provides more groundsheet when laid out. However it'll still work as shade and somewhere to try and keep your sandwiches sand-free. Approx 2m x 1m inner area

245d

Free: Empty CD cases (Corsham) Expired Anyone still use these? Happy to split if you just need a few. It'll save them from landfill

245d

Free: Assorted Music CDs (Corsham) Gifted A random collection of everything - rock, pop, trance, dance, vintage, plus two magazine freebies with 20 greatest speeches and a Fantastic Mr fox audiobook. Some in cases, plus a stack of discs. Happy to split, as otherwise they will go to the tip.

245d

Free: 100 DVD cases (Corsham) Expired Mostly single cases, although some may take two discs in a stack. Happy to split if you only want a few - any that get reused means slightly less to landfill!

245d

Request: Empty plastic takeaway containers (Corsham) Expired I got rid of all of mine a few years back, but now I need to sort many small objects and they would be perfect for holding them. So if anyone has had or is planning a takeaway or two over the holidays, I'd be grateful to have the empties when you are done.

245d

Free: Two foam cushions (Corsham) Expired Two pieces of foam with fabric covering on top and sides (open underneath). They look about the size you might use on a dining chair or similar. Approx 15 x 15 x 3 inches (38 x 7cm). No labels and no idea what type of foam as I got them from Freegle then went another direction with the project I had in mind, but it's the form aerated type rather than memory foam.

258d

Free: Ella Enchanted and Hoodwinked DVDs - skipping (Corsham) Expired I bought these but they skipped when played in my dvd player (a PS4) and they were replaced by the seller. The discs don't look damaged (see photos) so before throwing them out I thought I would offer them in case anyone wanted to try in a proper dvd player - or had one of those refinishing kits you used to be able to get to try cleaning them first.

258d

Free: Lots of DVDS - all kinds (Corsham) Gifted Having a prune of our collection, these are a real mix of genres and ages. Happy to split if it means we can get rid of at least some of them, so let me know which ones catch your eye (however anyone willing to take all of them will get preference).

267d

Free: 4 tall glasses (Corsham) Expired Get ready for an influx of guests at Christmas with some extra glassware! They have developed a ring of clouding from the dishwasher but are perfectly useable.

273d

Free: 2x double height builders-type bags (Corsham) Gifted Massive bags, similar to a builders bag but twice the height and with a (sealed) opening at the bottom. You can fold the top down and make the sides double thickness for an extra sturdy bag of you don't need the height. Alternatively they'd provide big section of sturdy fabric if cut up. 1 taken but 2 still left

294d

Free: Old CRT monitors and printer (Corsham) Gifted Destined for the tip, but I thought I'd post just in case anyone is looking for old tech! Can take one or all. All believed to be working, but no guarantees as we no longer have anything that will run them.

301d

Free: John Frieda brunette shampoo (Corsham) Expired About half full. No longer needed as I am no longer a brunette. Seems a pity to throw it out if someone can use it up...

312d

Request: Power for All 18v charger (Corsham) Expired New lawnmower purchased that needs two batteries but only supplies one charger! So I'm looking for any charger that's compatible with Power for All 18v batteries so I can charge both at once - could be Bosch, Husqvarna (both pictured) or Flymo, Gardenia etc. Perhaps you have one lying around from a long since expired tool?

317d

Free: Used weed fabric (Corsham) Expired A black bin liner full of (used but folded) weed fabric taken up from roughly the area marked on the picture! All 1m wide and anything from 1-5m long - I'd estimate the area it covered was about 5m x 5m in total so you should be able to cover something similar. If useful to someone you're welcome to it, before it goes to the tip at some future point

330d

Request: Two small squares of velcro hook (Corsham) Received I only need two pieces of velcro, just the hook side, each at least 6cm square (I could also attach together narrower strips as long as there's enough to make up that size in the end). Perhaps someone has the prickly half of a bit of velcro sitting unloved in their sewing stash?

360d

Request: Basic hose nozzle (Corsham SN13) Expired The simpler the better :) My only requirements are that it fits hozelock-style and has an option to turn off the flow - preferably something you physically close or turn to rather than relying on water pressure as I need it for a gravity-fed hose that's attached to a waterbutt... Hoping it's the sort of thing someone might have languishing unused in the shed.

Free: large cardboard box + 2 shoeboxes (Corsham SN13) Expired As photo, hopefully the shoeboxes give a sense of scale. Includes a small amount of tissue paper and bubble wrap if you want it.
