Fabric Care Kit (Rayleigh SS6)
Gifted
Never used. This will clean your sofa and armchair. I've checked with the makers as I bought it in 2022 and it's all still very useable. The bottles will treat different types of stain. There's a cloth and sponge in the kit.

Air Pump Needles and Adaptor for Sports Balls (Rayleigh SS6)
Needles for an air pump to inflate sports balls - Football, Volleyball, Netball, Basketball. I don't have the pump itself. As I've got 4 of these, I may not give all 4 to one person without a good reason. Depends on how many people respond.

Laptop Vacuum Cleaner (Rayleigh SS6)

Pre-loved Techvac. It does work. Reasonably effective. (This wasn't mine. It was a present to my dad.) I have inherited it but do not require one. It plugs into the laptop for power.

Portable Battery Reading Light (Rayleigh SS6)
Gifted
Never used and still in its packaging. Fits around ones neck and switches on like a torch. It is possible the batteries might be flat as it may have been hanging up in the garage for a few years. This unloved present is longing for a new owner.

A Black 2 Socket Extension Lead (Rayleigh SS6)
Withdrawn
Very long black extension lead. I estimate 15 ft long. Did I think to measure it before I neatly wound it up? No! But I will if you need to know the exact length. :-) Presently 10amp (but that can be changed)

10 Pine Knob Handles & Drawer Sliders (Rayleigh SS6)
Gifted
10 small pine knob handles off an old chest of drawers and the sliders from the drawers plus screws that were used to keep them in place. Ideally these will go together in one job lot but I will consider separating them. This is a definite upcycling project.

Bookcase with Two Shelves and Glass Doors. (Rayleigh SS6)
Gifted
Sturdy wooden bookcase with two shelves and glass sliding doors to keep the books dust free. The shelves balance on those pins and you'll need some new ones as some are missing but I think a DIY shop will sell them. I balanced the shelves on file boxes.

Shredder Oil Sheets (Rayleigh SS6)
Gifted
These oil sheets keep your home shredder in good condition. You feed them through your shredder and they oil the workings.

Pine Hi Fi Cupboard (Rayleigh SS6)
Gifted
Pine Hi Fi cupboard on feet with shelf and brass knob. Some marks/scratches on the top (see photo). Hole in the back for lead and cables. Of course it can be used for other storage. I had file boxes and folders in it for a time but I can see it would make a good drinks cabinet too. I think it's time for someone else to love it.

7 150 Watt Bulbs in Boxes (Rayleigh SS6)

An Old Ekco Radio (Rayleigh SS6)
Gifted
This old Ekco radio no longer picks up a signal so if you plug it in, it sounds like it's searching for a signal. Maybe somebody good with electronics could convert it? Or if the innards are taken out, it would make a store box? A collectors item?

A Dyson Vacuum Cleaner (Rayleigh SS6)
Gifted
But... the motor stopped working, so unless someone handy can mend it for you, it may only be for spare parts??? Just thought I'd ask before I take it to the tip. It is 9 years old. Or you may know an electrical repair shop?

Pencil Leads for Mechanical Pencils (Rayleigh SS6)
Gifted
Different sizes of pencil leads for retractable mechanical pencils. The brown box on the end also contains tiny erasers. These can either be given as a whole lot or separately. Just state your need. (My father was a Work Study Civil Engineer and used these for his technical drawings.) These are not locality confined as I could post them (so long as I don't have to get to the Post Office too often).

In good condition, this pre-loved brown velour pouffe comes in handy for reaching high up places and simply for putting your feet up or resting the tea tray. Seems a pity to throw it away so can anyone make use of it?

A Lumie Lamp Alarm Clock (Rayleigh SS6)
Gifted
This will wake you up slowly in the morning as the light gradually becomes brighter. It's one of those special lights that gets very bright. It's really helpful if you struggle to wake up in the mornings. I'm now retired and don't need it any more. You can also set it to come on before you sleep and it will decrease its light output like a sunset. The alarm will go off just like any other alarm clock but I think you can set that so it doesn't sound. Light bulbs can be ordered from a company in Cambridgeshire.

Earring Travel Case (Rayleigh SS6)

Garden Planter Tower (Rayleigh SS6)
Gifted
Green planter tower for growing herbs, alpines, pansies or small flowers. A great space saver for the garden. Water drains from the top section down through each section underneath. I advise filling with a medium loam so that it drains but also holds enough water in the hot weather. Marvelous for a balcony or someone who's just starting out growing things.
