Free: Clamping mitre box (Abingdon OX14) Well used clamping mitre box yet still perfectly functional. I'm afraid I don't have any of the plastic holders to fit into the little holes, but if needed thick dowels can be used instead.

Free: Children's clothes hangers (Abingdon OX14) Gifted As per photo.

8d

Free: 3 x single duvets + many sheets (Abingdon OX14) Gifted Does anyone want three old single duvets and a black bin liner full of bed sheets? They've all been well used but they are in decent enough condition to be re-used if hidden under duvet covers. A couple of old thin pillows as well, but these are not far being unacceptable and are more likely to be worthy of the tip or craft repurposing. Sadly no duvet covers.

10d

Free: Broken mirror for craft? (Abingdon OX14) Withdrawn Cracked mirror for craft or garden project? Frame is 125 x 35cm.

20d

Request: Long-armed Stapler (Abingdon OX14) Does anyone have a long-armed Stapler which is not being used and could be given to an small NHS service? Thanks in advance.

70d

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.

70d

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?

71d

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.

71d

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.

72d

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?

73d

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.

84d

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).

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.

86d

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.

87d

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.

98d

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

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).

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.
