Wood pellets (Colchester station CO4)
2 bags of wood pellets sent by supplier in error. They didn’t want them returned and I’m at a loss what to do with them. They are wood pellets for smoking food or apparently can be used in small amounts in fires. One bag opened to see what contents were- see photo.

Lockable office cabinet with sliding doors (Colchester CO1)
IKEA GALANT Cabinet with sliding doors, white, 160x120 cm (£499 new). Lockable (integrated number lock). To be collected from the centre of Colchester - near Jumbo. Cabinet has been dismantled and will need re-assembling. Complete with all original fittings. This is a very good quality cabinet, with the following features: Suitable for use in the middle of a room since it is finished on the back. The storage unit stands steady also on uneven floors since it has adjustable feet. Integrated damper makes doors close silently and gently. Space behind the shelves makes it easy to collect and lead cords and cables to the cord outlet on the back. You choose your own code for the combination lock and safely store your papers and office supplies. You can adjust your storage according to your needs, as the shelves are adjustable. The included hook can be used to hang bags and other items on, even if you have an add-on unit on top.

Strawberry plants. (Parson's Heath CO4)
Promised
Hi Folks, I’m offering 5x Strawberry Plants (bare roots, NOT in pots). I bet you love fresh juicy strawberries on a warm sunny summer’s day with cream – yes? So grow some for yourself. They don’t require much effort, Every year they produce runners & can multiply 3x times & the parent plants live for several years; so you’ll have lots in future years. Plant in a sunny position on the same day as collected, water for the first week & then only when the garden has overly dry / hot conditions & talk to them nicely; ‘tis easy peasy.

IKEA Drawer Unit (Wivenhoe CO7 9NP)
White, 4 drawers. 78cm wide, 42cm deep and 124cm tall. The centre drawers have a tendency to drop off their runners due to slight bowing/bagginess having developed in side panels. This could be fixed with the addition of a central supporting piece of wood for someone who is a little bit handy in that way. A few years old but in otherwise excellent condition, some minor marks on the exterior that could easily be removed with a spot of abrasive cleaner.
