Free: Glass jars, different sizes, mostly with lids (Headington OX3) Gifted - Always saving glass jars for friends who make jam but I have a lot at the moment. Would anyone be able to make use of them? Free: Strips for sinocare accu, glucose meter and lancets. (Headington OX3) Expired - Bought in error. I need sinocare AQ. Can anyone use them? Free: Longish blue curtains (Headington OX3) Gifted - These curtains are old but were made of very good quality material. I noticed that there was some damage to the inside edge of one of them, and so have replaced them. I have washed the old ones, but on inspection they are in good condition other than a bit of sun damage down this one edge. Could they be of any use to anyone, could the material be used to make cushion covers or other craft things. It seems dreadful to send them to the ragman. I haven't got round to ironing them yet (been away, came back with covid++etc)
