Partially working cross trainer (Addiscombe CR0)
Gifted
Little cross trainer, relatively light. The buttons and console work, but while it sounds like it's increasing the resistance it never seems to get any harder! Having said that, I've been using it not even plugged in to get a bit of exercise in the mornings. It provides enough resistance that you don't feel like you are free wheeling. Relatively quiet with a bit of a clunk ever now and then. We got it second hand a few years ago and have upgraded to one with a bigger stride length, people over 6' might struggle with this, but this is a nice little starter elliptical. You might want to check out its dimensions online to see if it will fit in your car. We're in Addiscombe in Croydon, parking on driveway available.

John Lewis TR3 treadmill not work (Addiscombe CR0)
Gifted
Took the treadmill apart to move it and when we reassembled it, it is stuck on a screen that says 'connecting'. Clearly the electrics are going in, we can't see any loose wires but can't get it to switch on. Might be good if some wants to try to fix it or salvage parts from it, it was fine until then. The console comes off (as you can see) as do the arms. The base doesn't, it's heavy and awkward because there is a folding mechanism in there. I'm in most of the time, but can't help with the move, too heavy, it's in the garage so a relatively easy move to a v large car or van with a couple of strong people.

10 sets coloured flashcards (Addiscombe CR0)
Gifted
Offering again due to no show. They're on key rings, credit card sized. Some rings only have a few cards on them as I've taken off everything we used.

Zara coat L (Addiscombe CR0)
Gifted
Zara 'wool' coat. Size L (fits 14). Outside in great shape, the lining has gone on one side - see pictures. It's actually pretty thin material, some kind of wool / polyester blend, the labels are removed. I loved this coat, and replaced with a near identical one! Sadly not suitable for charity shop.

Litter liners/ small pet leg warmer (Addiscombe CR0)
Gifted
The leg warmers are weird. We bought them to cover where the cat was chewing a little, but she kept pulling it off. Mostly full box of plastic litter tray liners.

Not sure whether any of these work, they've been in a cupboard for ages. Happy to give them to someone who will recycle any that don't work.

18 C Batteries (Addiscombe CR0)
Gifted
I can't tell you if any of these have charge as we have nothing in the house that takes C batteries. I assume they came out of kids toys as we got rid of those. Happy to give them to someone who'll recycle any that don't work, rather than bin them. Pick up in Shirley park near the golf course.

PC CDROM games (Addiscombe CR0)

There's civ ii and civ iii, populous and two Sims, possibly one is an extension rather than stand alone. Can't tell you if they work (can't see why not) as we don't have a cd ROM player.

Broken monitor (Addiscombe CR0)
Gifted
So, originally this turned on but my husband couldn't get it to connect as a monitor (the mouse moved on the screen, but no other input from the computer, was weird). Now I can seem to get it to turn on, which is a new thing. Comes with a kettle lead which we've swapped around so it's not the problem.
