Free: Watercolour paint set (Rowney) (St Albans AL1, Fleetville) Expired Set of 24 half-pan artist's watercolour paints. Used, but still plenty of paint remaining in all the pans. One or two colours are too dried out/old to work well, but most are fine. Three small brushes included. This is an old set and it is no longer possible to buy individual replacement pans that fit.

Free: Set of 6 seat pads (St Albans AL1, Fleetville) Expired For use with spindle-back style chairs. See photos for colour and style. Zip-on covers. Condition is generally okay - all ties intact but the cushion is slightly flattened by use and the pattern is a little faded on one side. Size of each pad is about 41 cm wide and 40 cm front to back. 6 in total. [The chair is not included].

Request: Fermentation Airlock (wine making) (St Albans AL1, Fleetville) Expired Does anyone have a fermentation airlock for wine making I could have please. It needs to be an S-shaped one, like in the photo. I can't get on with the cup-shaped airlocks and my S-shaped one broke. There are no shops left in St Albans that sell this type of stuff.

Free: Office Chair with arms (St Albans AL1, Fleetville) Gifted Finished in charcoal fabric. Adjustable height and back. In quite good condition with fully working gas-lift and arm/back adjustment. The seat cushioning has got a bit flattened with use, but if you add a cushion to sit on it's fine.

Free: Sony wireless headphones for TV (St Albans AL1, Fleetville) Expired Designed for people with some hearing loss to help them hear TV sound without needing the speaker volume too high. Can only be used with TV's that have a 3.5mm headphone socket. Some modern TV's only have Bluetooth and are not suitable. Connect the base unit to the headphone socket of your TV (3.5mm jack) and to the supplied mains power adaptor. The wireless headphones have an internal rechargeable battery that you must recharge from time to time via a short lead on the base unit. The lead for connection to the TV and the power lead are both reasonably long. Headphones have adjustable strap and padded ear cushions. You may need to refer to your TV instruction manual to see how to adjust the headphone socket output level as it is often independent of the speaker volume. Model Sony TMR-RF810R

Free: 1TB External HD (Toshiba) (St Albans AL1, Fleetville) Gifted Mains powered. Connects via USB - leads included. Product title says 1TB storage, but it shows up on my Windows PC as 931GB. It is fully working and okay for backups, but being a good few years old you should not assume 100% reliability. That's why I replaced it (and to get more storage in a smaller box).
