Free: Foam play mats (Colchester CO1) Gifted 21 interlocking squares, each 32cm x 32 cm. Assorted colours. Some with push-out shapes (vehicles, animals). Not in great condition. Some have cat claw marks in them! But they do protect the floor (or your knees!)

Free: Baby car seat mirrors (Colchester CO1) Gifted Clearing out some baby items no longer needed. These are the kind of mirrors that fit in your car to allow you to keep an eye on baby when they’re in a rear-facing child seat in the back. The straps on the bigger one allows it to be attached to the headrest of one of the back seats in most cars.

Free: Sony Micro Hi-Fi Radio CD Cassette (Colchester CO1) Gifted This mini Hi-Fi system has been in the kitchen for years (decades?) It is consequently a bit sticky/greasy. Its primary function has been radio but now some of the stations have moved to the new DAB format it has become redundant (it can handle the original DAB and analogue - if that still exists?) The cassette deck still works. The CD player works but seemed a bit skippy on the disc I tried. The Audio In/Aux In from a standard 3.5 jack works fine. The sound quality is very good, so if you only listen to tapes, BBC radio, or want to attach it to an external source, you might find a home for this.

Free: Qualcast Mower (Colchester CO1) Gifted Works-ish(!) It has some sort of intermittent fault so the motor cuts out before kicking back in. Mowing is still possible but a bit annoying. Beyond my skill/know-how to fix.

Free: Children’s playhouse (Colchester CO1) Gifted Plastic playhouse, 117cm (l) x 102cm (w) x 115cm (h) Very old but serviceable; could be painted to refresh it. Only one piece missing: one of four screws that fix the two roof panels along the ridge. Holds together fine with three. Dismantled ready for collection.

Free: Video projector x2 (Colchester CO1) Gifted Two NEC NP115G projectors with power cables and remote. Both working but both have some dead pixels (one more so than the other). They have standard video in, S-video in and computer (VGA?) in inputs, no HDMI. Any use to anyone?
