Request: Wheelchair (Horkesley Heath CO4) Withdrawn I had emergency surgery last week on my abdomen, and whilst I can walk, I can't walk far. The hospital didn't give me a a chair, and since getting home I haven't been able to leave the house at all. It would only be for a few weeks until I recover, but staying in has had such a huge toll on my mental health. would be so very grateful. My partner can collect I wouldn't mess you around.

Free: Bath bomb molds x2 (Colchester CO4 6) Withdrawn 2 (identical) bath bomb molds, necessary to make your own bath bombs. Only one pictured, but we have two. Bath bomb not included, just show for reference. None of the ingredients included. You fill the powder up in the bigger mold and then use the smaller one to compress the powder together, then leave to set. I don't know what the ingredients are specifically but I'm sure there are lots of tutorials. Could also be used for play dough/clay/other crafts I'm sure. The molds are rigid plastic to allow the compression, but do have a little bit of wiggle to get the bath bombs out. Not recommended for jelly as I have no idea of the material and cannot guarantee it is food safe. Will leave in a safe place for easy collection as I am out a lot this week. First to collect may have it :)

Request: Breadmaker for dietary restrictions (Colchester CO4 6) Expired I'm wondering if anyone has a bread maker they no longer use?

Maybe there's one in your attic? Obviously I'll have to give it an incredibly thorough clean for any residual gluten contamination, but i think it will make a huge difference for us in the long run ...
