Request: Microwave (University Area RG1) Does anyone have a microwave they do not need please? Just a day after our oven became unsafe to operate, the microwave stopped working, just when it could have been most useful. So it's hob and toaster only for now, so we are not without anything but we would still be really glad to have a basic microwave until a new oven comes - and ongoing if possible.

Free: Stairgate - Babydan super narrow (University Area RG1) Expired This stairgate was given to us some time ago but we did not need it after all. (We expected a visitor who did not need a gate) It is super narrow: to fit a space between 63 and 69.5 cm /24.8 - 27.3 ins. Second photo shows the specs. It is in good condition except that we have never had the fittings for one of the four corners. This can be replaced, as advised by Babydan/Safetots: It seems a pity to take it to the tip if it could be useful to someone again.
