Hello neighbours! 👋

My name is Rachael, and I am the Curator of @cheekymonkeybabygirl2010, a local, faceless digital archive dedicated to preserving hyper-specific UK 2000s and 2010s nostalgia. I am building a digital museum to celebrate the magic of our local areas, and I am looking for old items that you might be clearing out, rather than seeing them go to landfill.

I am gently looking for items such as:
- Sealed 2000s/2010s snacks or drinks (e.g., Dairylea Dunkers, retro sweets, old-school squash).
- Old Tech: iPod Nanos, Motorola Razr phones, old digital cameras, blank CDs/DVDs, or old charging cables.
- Stationery & School: Lisa Frank folders, glitter pens, old diaries, sticker books, or colouring cards.
- Media: 2000s/2010s DVDs (e.g., The Parent Trap, Toy Story, Disney Princesses) or old music CDs.
- Accessories: Lip Smackers, sparkly hair bows, leopard print accessories, or old novelty keyrings.

⚠️ IMPORTANT BOUNDARIES (Please Read):
1. Severe Allergies: I have severe nut and fish allergies. Any food or drink items MUST be factory-sealed, unopened, and in date. If you are unsure, please do not offer food. Non-food items are always welcome!
2. Strictly Pet-Free: My archive environment is strictly free of all animal and insect-related content. Please do not offer any items related to cats or dogs, or items from homes with strong pet odours.
3. Communication: I am a shy, faceless curator. I communicate via Freegle messaging or email only. Please, no phone calls.

Collection:
I am local and can happily collect from the Romford, Goodmayes, Barking, Dagenham, Lakeside, or Chingford areas. I am very flexible and can arrange a quick, contactless porch collection at a time that suits you, to make it as easy and low-pressure as possible. All items are safely inspected by my support staff upon receipt.

Thank you so much for helping me preserve our local history and keep these sparkly 2010s memories alive! 🎀📼

Warmly,
Rachael
