Request: Stacking Grocery Crates/Boxes (Great Missenden, HP16) For a housemove, I'm looking for the kind of cardboard, stacking crates that supermarkets and grocer's transport and present their fruit and veg. In their full, not-broken-down state. Banana boxes too if anyone is about to recycle them. I'm based around Great Missenden currently and would happily drive a 5 mile radius, perhaps a bit further for a large quantity. Please and thank you.

Free: UV/LED lamp+other Nail accessories (Great Missenden, HP16) Gifted Lamp was used less than a dozen times, there are gel UV cure polishes here too. The process is just not for me hence giving it up. Nail glue for other types of false nails- unopened (I prefer adhesive gel pads). Natural shaded/french manicure glue on nails, some part packs, and clear/plain nails - 1 pack barely touch, the other pack never opened.

Free: Sorghum Flour, Unopened GlutenFREE (Great Missenden, HP16) 750g Sorghum Flour - usually used in a flour blend as part of gluten free bread recipes. Best before end June 2026. I already have another unopened pack which I'm only just about to get into. Maybe this spare will help someone out? Can be used in larger quantities than the typical small part of a blend I'm used to, but kitchen science experiments in my house are on hold for a while.

Free: Mini Sand 'Pit' (Great Missenden, HP16) Originally a 'Kinetic Sand' toy, and still has staycation value even if the sand isn't as magical as it once was - I may be wrong but I think kinetic sand and other weird and wonderful products may still be available. Includes selection of small colorful sand-castle moulds. The tray is about 12" x 12"/30cm x 30cm square.

Free: Kid's Toy Utensils and Food (Great Missenden, HP16) A bundle, includes portable oven - which did light up and make sounds but I haven't checked the battery compartment. Also includes toaster, kettle, pans, cups, plates, tiny chopping board and pretend knife, breads, veggies and teeny food packets. Some of the food packs are a bit faded or could do with being stuffed with card to re-form the shapes I'm sure there's fun to be had here for some little people. I don't have time to wash this bundle this time around as I am moving house - some of it is dusty from being in storage.

Free: Selection of Make Up Brushes (Great Missenden, HP16) Gifted Some of these have never been used, but all could be washed for careful hygiene if you wish. Gifts over various years that my daughter received but she hardly ever wears makes up and has a preferred set put aside for just in case. Annoyingly I have to throw out a bunch of make up that is unwrapped but untouched and way way way beyond it's use by advice.

Free: Wide Fridge Freezer (Great Missenden, HP16) Gifted This fridge freezer works, it has a full set of internal shelves, pull out shelves, bins and door balconies. The water dispenser works - requires plumbing in and a water filter for this feature, and for the internal ice maker*. The *ice maker is not currently functioning and we had a bit of a drip out of the bottom around the time the ice maker stopped working but an appliance engineer should be able to fix it - as well as plumb it in. It is in really good condition for its age - just a couple of dings on the outside, but it's age, + the ice maker fail, + a refurb going on around it, means it has to go - and before the weather turns because we have no where to store it except where you see it in the picture. It is slightly deeper than average, EDIT: measurements are 90cm wide x 178cm tall x 72cm deep (Depth includes handles out front and some things at the bottom behind it).

Free: Double Bed + 2 mattresses (1fm,1sp) (Great Missenden, HP16) Gifted Standard 4 ft 6 double. Metal and wood base, cream leatherette covered sides and headboard. Visually showing some age but a bit of cream cleaner should bring it up nicely. The bed has 2 mattresses: one is sprung and the other is memory foam. The memory foam mattress suffered some spills but the cover zips off and I believe it can be washed. The marks are not great I admit but a proper mattress cover which you might use anyway would make that irrelevant. We are a non smoking household and not smelly people (as far as we can tell 😆).

Free: Pair of Light Wood Stools (Great Missenden, HP16) Gifted Plain and functional. One of them is a little wobbly and needs a tighten up, but we've found them to be very robust and strong - they've supported some very robust bums in their time and yet still have a lot of life left in them.

Free: Sony Stereo HiFi 4 Parts, Radio OK (Great Missenden, HP16) Gifted 🪛📻🔧 The radio still works and I was told the CD player just needs a run through with a disc cleaner. Other than that offering it as seen in the pictures. I haven't dumped this yet in case a repair enthusiast could use it as a donor for parts. Sony CFD-515 - main body only, no speakers. I'll give it a few days but I'm off to the dump early next week.

Request: Old Anonymous Photographs (Great Missenden, HP16) Expired I'd like to give them a new purpose. Hi Trashers, Freeglers and Cyclers, - Pre-1960's (ideally but not exclusively), and sepia/black and white would be particularly of interest. - Subjects including people/portrait photos, rural/urban/suburban/industrial scenery, objects even - anything that really seems from a much earlier time or way of life. No limit really, just anonymous/forgotten people, interesting times/places/activities. - For creative based projects - collages, inspiration and portraiture exercises (art therapy). I think it's better than putting the traces of real lives through a shredder or into landfill. Please note:- if some (not all) are particularly interesting I might make them available via a suitable sharing platform online for community interest or other platforms that offer a profit incentive - depends on what type of interesting they are. This might help me a little financially as I am a carer with restricted opportunities to go out and work outside the home for any useful period of time. - I have quite a lot of flexibility for collection times most days, however I might be limited on how far I can go depending on my care duties that week. Thanks for reading. [ Items received in response to this request will be resold ]
