25d

Free: Battleship Game (Abingdon OX14) Gifted Battleship game. A4 sheet to show size. We have two games to give away. Both boxes are a bit battered, but all the pieces are included in both sets.

25d

Request: Android phone (Abingdon OX14) My son's second hand 5 year old Android phone has stopped work. Does anyone have a half-decent working Android phone that is going unused?

26d

Free: Large trampoline (8x14 foot) (Abingdon OX14) Gifted Large 8x14 oval trampoline by SkyHigh. Galvanised steel structure which dismantles quite easily. The trampoline itself is working perfectly - with all springs in place. Our children are simply too old for it now. It's 7 years old and bought brand new. The net is torn in places (this could be creatively sewn together) and the edges of some of the padding is just starting to fray (I've taken a picture of the worst example). The zip is also a little troublesome and could do with some work. Collector will have to dismantle (we have tools if you need, but it's pretty much just a case of a spanner and screwdriver and not much else). Our garden is about 20 metres from the driveway, and unless you have a van or a large estate car, it might take two trips. Please don't request unless you are committed to collecting.

26d

Free: Soil (mostly top soil) (Abingdon OX14) Large amounts of soil recently dug from our garden. Mostly top soil. I have carry-able box crates that could be used for transportation. Take as much or as little as you'd like. Be warned there is a 20 metre pathway (all paved) from the roadside to the soil. You are free to use our shovels and wheelbarrow if you'd like. We can also lend a bulk bag for transporting in your car if you'd like, although we'd like it back at the end.

26d

Request: Fitzharrys boys blazer (30" or 32") (Abingdon OX14) Received Does anyone have a Fitzharrys' school boys blazer that is 30" or 32" that our son could put to good use?

28d

Request: Small gazebo (Abingdon OX14) Received Does anyone have a small gazebo (3x3m or less) that is languishing unused? If so, we would be immensely grateful for it.

39d

Free: Large Parasol (Abingdon OX14) Gifted This is a large Parasol which is well weather worn. The main cover could be extensively cleaned and possibly returned to it's former glory. The very top cover needs repairing creatively or replacing. The main closing/opening mechanism is in working order (if slightly stiff at the very top) and it's an impressive system. The poles could do with a good scrub down. We have the base stones (four large quarter circle slabs) in our garden which can be unearthed. It's quite large and would need an estate car at least.

Free: Chess and Backgammon Board (Abingdon OX14) Gifted Folding chess and backgammon board. No pieces. Hand made. Very faint small watermark on chessboard side (see image).

41d

Free: Basketball stand/hoop (Abingdon OX14) Gifted Old but surprisingly robust and sturdy basketball hoop. 200cm to rim, 241cm to tip of backboard. It is technically adjustable to go higher, but I can't shift the necessary pin for love nor money (nor WD40). Which also means it is not detachable (unless you're handier than I am and/or have the right tools, which is very possible). So be prepared to fit the entire thing in your car in one go. We have a decent size Skoda Octavia estate and it was a tight fit.

41d

Request: Glasses hardcase (Abingdon OX14) Withdrawn Does anyone have a hardcase for glasses that is going unused? I was given a semi-hard case by Specsavers that haven't fared well in my cycle pannier. Thanks in advance.

42d

Free: Crocks (Aldi brand) size 10?11? (Abingdon OX14) Gifted These were size 9 and came with inbuilt sock liners. I cut the sock liners out, only to find they suddenly jumped up by a size or two.

53d

Free: Insulation board (Abingdon OX14) Insulation board off cut 60cm x 81cm x 8cm.

55d

Free: Football goal (Abingdon OX14) Gifted 2m x 3m Decathlon Kipsta football goal. The net is secure (if a little weathered), and one joint has come apart (see image - this could be cable-tied together or even welded if you have the kit). It can be dismantled through interlocking poles. Collector to dismantle please (which will also help you to know how to resassmble at the other end).

55d

Free: Old Shed (2x3m) (Abingdon OX14) Gifted Very old shed about to be dismantled. I think it's 2x3m. It's well past it's sell by date and is rotting in some corners of the floor. The roof is also beyond redemption. But if anyone can use the wood, you're welcome to it. We have tools if you want to use to help cut or dismantle to fit your car. Otherwise it goes to the tip.

55d

Free: Poster 50x70cm (Abingdon OX14) Expired 50x70cm children's poster by IKEA Still in wrapping, but cardboard backing has warped (poster will probably be fine as soon as unwrapped). Very slight fraying in two bottom corners and another one to the side, but nothing that would be seen after some cursory attention.

Request: Chess pieces (and board if desired) (Abingdon OX14) Received We have a rickety old chess board, but no pieces. We'd love some pieces; and if they come with a matching board, we won't say no. Thanks in advance.

188d

Request: HDMI splitter for extended monitors (Abingdon OX14) Expired I am hoping someone will have an HDMI splitter (for 2 or more HDMI cables), so I can extend my windows laptop screen to two additional monitors. Entry point into my laptop could be either HDMI or USB-C. Many thanks in advance.
