Free: Shoe boxes (Aspley NG8) 2 Ikea Trones grey shoe boxes, wall mountable and stackable. One has a couple of scratches on front, see photo. Might have various uses in shed or garage. Need a good clean.

2h

Free: Planter/privacy screen (Aspley NG8) Gifted 150 cm high, 32 cm deep, 50 cm wide. Not used, only just assembled but parts have been left outside for several months to weather (rusty look steel). However, I have not assembled it very well, there are two small metal parts left over and I have no idea where or how to fit them. See second photo. Screws it came with are tiny with no nuts and it would benefit from nuts and longer bolts in my opinion. I can't be bothered trying to do it, hence gifting. I think it is usable in its present state. Assembly manual included, for what it's worth. Collect from near Beechdale Lidl.

Free: Small catbed (Aspley NG8) Gifted Small cat bed, suitable for kitten or toy cat. Shown next to a medium/large catbed for size. Quite new, not used by any cats. Beautiful velvety William Morris style strawberry thief design.

76d

Free: Armchair (Aspley NG8) Gifted Armchair, Dunelm Alora Charnwood Grande Chenille armchair. Nearly new. Nice looking and ok to sit in but I find it a bit big (I'm 5 foot 4), and obviously not wonderful as at lower end of the price range for armchairs. Described as olive, but grey in bright light with a slight greenish tinge. Legs, back and cushion come off easily for transport. Only disposing of it because I've bought a more suitable chair for me and have no space to keep it.

Free: Sage Green Vinyl (Aspley NG8) Expired New vinyl, sage green, smallish piece 2.8 x 2 metres, thin quality but ok. For true colour google Online Carpets Blush Uni Sage Green 521. Not grey like in photo, but light green, varies a bit depending on light.

95d

Free: Salad spinner (Aspley NG8) Gifted Joseph Spindola brand in sink salad spinning colander. Excellent quality thick plastic, but I didn't realise it has to be used in the sink, otherwise water goes everywhere when you spin it.

Free: Catit multifeeder (Aspley NG8) Gifted Almost new, supposed to slow cats eating to prevent regurgitation. My cat just pulls the wet food onto the floor, though it does slow down the dry food because it has to be pawed out of the central well. Collect from near Beechdale Lidl.

130d

Free: Cat house (Aspley NG8) Gifted Brand new, grey fabric Pawhut cat shelter. Described as weatherproof, but I'm sure it isn't, it's more light shower resistant. You could only keep it outdoors in a sheltered place where it wouldn't get wet. Fabric looks creased in photo but that's because light is hitting it oddly and it's just been assembled, it will flatten out. Reason for gifting is I bought one with a couple of tubular metal parts missing and they sent me an entire new replacement. I've replaced the two missing tube parts with identical tubular metal (grey, but not visible). Cat house is sturdy but lightweight and mainly velcros together, so could be collected on foot and just flattened for carrying. Collect from near Beechdale Lidl.

Really lovely, brand new, only bought this week but I can find anywhere suitable to hang it, so regretfully it has to go.
