Free: outdoor cushion (Britannia) Was part of my deck lounger, till I rearranged things; now surplus to requirements. Originally from IKEA's "As Is" section, this was sort of bodged together from leftovers: I stuffed a few unused cushions inside the cover (included, if you want them). Measures about 4 ft long by 1.5 ft wide. Machine washable. Can be left at the front door for pickup, as long as it's not raining.

Free: POANG chair, slightly cracked (Britannia) There is some minor damage to this chair frame (see last pic). But it doesn't affect the function ... unless you're very fat, like me! I've also repurposed the cushion that originally came with it, so you'd have to source your own. The frame isn't heavy, just unwieldy – and I'm on the second floor of a duplex – so you'll probably need help getting it down three flights of stairs, and into your vehicle.

Free: hair gunk (Britannia) Half-full tube ... any takers?

Free: teeny bottle of eucalyptus oil (Britannia) Gifted Only 15 ml, and I don't even know what to use it for – must have been a gift! The bottle was unopened, until I cracked the lid to see if it was full (it is).

Free: battery charger (Britannia) Gifted I've had this thing for decades, but never use it now. If you're into rechargeables, you can bring it out of retirement. Holds four AA batteries, plugs into a wall socket.

Free: 10" Android tablet (Britannia) Gifted My four-year-old Huawei mediapad has given up the ghost, after four years of faithful service. The battery says it's fully charged ... then five minutes later, it just shuts down (even if plugged in). If anyone here can use it to restore, or for parts, it's yours. Note: case not included (I'm using it for my replacement tablet). Also, I hope there are no criminals in the TN community! But if you are one: the device has of course been wiped, and factory reset ... so no personal data remains on it.

Free: non-functional microwave (Britannia) Withdrawn I've had this old PC model for almost a decade, and it's always worked just fine. Then the other day, it just apparently passed away in its sleep – I came into the kitchen one morning, and it was dead. If anyone knows how to restore such a thing, feel free to have a go!

Free: small table lamp, without a shade (Britannia) Gifted This doesn't match my decor (I bought it for my student's room), and then the shade broke. You would have to source your own. It's about 14x" high, and has the (annoying) kind of switch that's on the cord, rather than the socket.

Free: roll of calculator paper (Britannia) Gifted My old print calculator has died of old age, with an almost brand-new roll in it. The paper is 2-1/4" wide, and ... I dunno, about 20 miles long?! ;-)

Free: 12 pairs of “queen size” stockings (Britannia) Withdrawn In the depths of my wardrobe, I discovered a couple of hangers loaded with this long-forgotten collection of nylon stockings. I haven’t worn skirts since I stopped having an office job (also stopped having a waist). These “queen size” items would fit a 14-16 lady. I’m now much too fat to fit into them, being more like a 22! I’ve laundered them all, and checked for rips or tears – they’re in pretty good shape. Various colours, as shown.

Free: blue Bernie Mev shoes, 9.5 (Britannia) Gifted I got these from a friend, practically new, and they're really comfortable ... but sadly, just a little bit too big for me! No matter how many insoles I try to stack them with, my heels keep slipping out at the back. Check out the style at .

Free: cheap plastic trays (Britannia) Gifted I used these dollar-store trays to go under my big plant pots, in case they leaked water. One actually did – it has rust marks on it – but the others are unmarked. The big ones ("gold" and "silver") are 15" across, and the small one is 11".

Free: various makeup items (Britannia) Gifted I've overhauled my makeup case, and realized I haven't actually used these things in years. Two eye shadows (creamy white and pale blue), barely used; two pale beige concealer sticks; two lipsticks, vaguely pink/red; and three coloured eyeliner pencils – blue, purple, and green. I understand one can just swab or dip with alcohol, to disinfect things like this. If you can use any or all, you're welcome!

Free: striped wrapping paper (Britannia) Gifted My roommate also left this behind when she moved out. It's the size of ... a roll of paper. Unopened.

Free: pair of 16-ich handbag handles (Britannia) Gifted These are from my Miché purse, and I've never used them – I prefer the longer straps. Black leather. You need to supply your own loops to attach them.

Free: spray bottle of Goof-Off (Britannia) Gifted My departed housemate also left this behind – I've tried using it, but it's too strongly scented for me. The spray bottle is about half full.

Free: wooden hutch, for small animal (Britannia) Withdrawn I rescued this from my neighbour's garbage – it looks too useful to just throw away! If you know a child with a wee beastie – hamster, gerbil, rescued squirrel, baby rabbit, whatever – this might be handy for them. The hutch stands ca. 30" high, 23" wide, and 16" deep. The clear plastic front opens at the bottom, as shown. There are various shelves, etc., inside. The hinged top has sort of come apart, and would need nailing back together. I think these might be the specs:

Free: leather handbag straps (Britannia) Expired My purse came with these short extra handles, which I never use (because shoulder straps are best). They're black, 16" long, rather stiff and curved, and have loops at the end for attaching them. Or you could repurpose them for something else entirely!

Free: new bag with corporate logo (Britannia) Gifted My former employer used to spend a lot of money on these ugly branded giveaways ... instead of doing the sensible thing, and providing better wages and benefits! It's about 16", unused, and perfectly useful ... if you don't mind the stupid logo (I hate them).

Free: vegetarian cookbook (Britannia) Expired The book that launched Yotam Ottolenghi as an international food celebrity, *Plenty* is "a visually stunning book, offering fresh and exciting flavour combinations that are sure to become mainstays for readers." Filled with delicious-looking photos and delectable recipes, this book will inspire you to up your game when it comes to cooking veggies.

Free: 8-litre stock pot, with no lid (Britannia) Gifted A big, sturdy pot, made in Italy from 18/10 stainless steel (the highest grade available). Holds just over 8 quarts; measures 8” high, and 10” wide at the base. The handles have heat protection grips. Missing its own lid, though any 10” lid from another big pot fits just fine. (It used to be a pressure cooker, but I managed to lose the locking top.) This vintage model (by Aeternum) is almost 40 years old. But it’s only rarely been used – as you can see from the photos, it’s almost virgin (even on the bottom).

Free: striped wrapping paper (Britannia) Expired My roommate left this behind when she moved out, and couldn't be bothered to make a return trip for it. It's the size of ... a roll of paper. Unopened.

Free: two mustard-yellow bath towels (Britannia) Gifted These are freshly laundered (of course), and awaiting a new owner. They're not *quite* a matched pair ... but you have to look really hard to see any difference between them! They measure 26" by 46", and are in good shape, with no rips, stains, or unravelling.

Free: silvery-grey tote bag (Britannia) Expired This was once my dance bag, but my knee is too arthritic to dance any more! I have enough other bags, so this is now surplus. It's about 14-15" wide, and a bit battered on the bottom – more utilitarian than stylish. The inside is plain grey fabric, with no rips or tears ... but no pockets either.

Request: car seat heater / electrical genius (Britannia) Expired I've used this plug-in thing for several winters, but suddenly it broke – I believe the Achilles heel of this item is the wiring near the plug, which seems to have frayed. If anybody has a functioning plug-in heated seat to give away, I'd be grateful. Alternatively, if anybody knows how to repair this item, that would also be appreciated! And failing that, I guess I could just donate this item to anybody who wants a non-heating seat cover....

Free: wooden pant hangers (Britannia) Gifted There are now 8 of these things to go. You can take all, or just some, according to your needs.

Free: two battery chargers (Britannia) Expired I've had these for ever – since my kids were young enough to have toys with batteries. So I would get rechargeables, and juice them up when they ran out of power. The batteries themselves are long since dead, and for all I know these chargers may be too. But if you have any rechargeable batteries, maybe you could check out these things? One holds two AA batteries, the other 4. They both plug into a wall socket.

Free: curtain rod, 63" (Britannia) Expired A silvery pewter colour, this three-piece rod could also be shortened to 40" using just two pieces. It's missing one of the end doodads.

Free: small pink purse (Britannia) Gifted Wee fuschia-coloured item, evening-bag sized, with detachable handle; beige interior. Measures about 10" x 6". Gifted by a friend, but too small for daily use.
