Glad you liked our tip! ;)

You could try Emmaus at Landbeach too. You leave all your old junk with them, and they clean it up and sell it on. You can pick up some good stuff there (even electricals), and it's all for charidee.

That's no good, I'm looking to get rid of things, rather than acquire more ;-)

I have been thinking of getting in touch with Emmaus to see if they want a couple of bits of furniture (a metal computer desk and some bunk beds), but haven't yet been out to their shop.

They'll definitely take those -- we haven't found anything yet that they won't take! I'm guessing you'll want them to come round in their van to pick up the big stuff. I gather there's a bit of a wait for that service.
