Magnetic people notes holder (Headington OX3)
Withdrawn
Little trinket to hold notes and things. The base is magnetic, and the spring clips are shaped like little people. Perfect if you’re starting a career selling abstract stock photos. Collection only from Headington, just off Old Road.

Solwise powerline network points (Headington OX3)
Withdrawn
Solwise PL85 PE Ethernet over mains adapters. No idea what speed they are, but they’re quite old, so best assume that they are not cutting edge. Also not tested - from what I remember, they worked last time I tried them.

Clip-on pram parasol (without clip) (Headington OX3)
Withdrawn
In case this is useful to anyone - lacking the bit that attaches to the buggy, so you will need your own, or a bit of ingenuity… Eurohike clip-on parasol for prams and buggies. Lightweight, quite large, expands at the touch of a button. Great condition apart from the lack of that adapter.

Lascal Buggy Board (Headington OX3)
Gifted
Lascal Buggy Board Maxi: you can attach this to the back of many pushchairs so that older children can ride along behind when they get tired. Probably. It all seems like a very long time ago. This is several years old, but looks like it has all the bits it needs - that is something that will be up to you to check, though. Collection only from Headington, just off Old Road. Please drop me a line if you're interested.

Child's large scooter (Headington OX3)
Gifted
Three-wheeler "iscoot" scooter - the next step up from the Mini Micros. Folds flat for portability. Quite a few years old but in good working order last time we looked. Collection only from Headington, just off Old Road. Please drop me a line if you're interested.

Two books about Logic Pro music software (Headington OX3)
Gifted
Advanced Logic Pro 7 (with DVD) - David Dvorin Making Music With Logic Pro - Stephen Bennett Both books were published in 2005, but I presume the general principles hold. Collection only, off the Old Road in Headington. Just drop me a line if you're interested.

Silverstone HTPC home media centre (old, no drives) (Headington OX3)
Gifted
Silverstone HTPC media center case plus some components. This is a set-up that is at least ten years old, and is only really useful for someone who wants to tinker. Micro ATX format case includes Gigabyte GA-H77M-D3H motherboard with Intel processor, video capture card, DVD drive and power supply. Space for several drives - this used to hold 2x SATA HDDs and a SSD boot drive, but they are not included. We used this as a media center - with the right software (which you would need to source) it can record terrestrial TV and play DVDs. From what I remember, it worked well and was pretty quiet, but its heyday has been and gone. Collection from Headington, off the Old Road. Just drop me a line if you're interested.

Collapsible laundry basket, white (Headington OX3)

White Ikea-type bookcase (Headington OX3)
Expired
202cm high, 60cm wide, 28cm deep. One fixed and four moveable shelves. There are a few holes cut into the back of the lower shelf - presumably for access to a plug. This is quite old, so the white finish has faded slightly, but in otherwise great condition and very solidly built. Collection only from Headington, off the Old Road. Please drop me a line if you're interested.

Double inflatable ready bed (Headington OX3)
Gifted
Double-size inflatable ready bed. Integrated sheets and zippable thin 'blanket', which can be removed for washing. This requires a separate air pump, which can be bought from places like Halfords or Argos. The mattress is around 6 inches thick when blown up: it's not as thick as some more modern inflatable mattresses, but it's not bad. The carrying bag is slightly ripped, but the whole lot has had minimal use and seems to be in good condition - I've just blown it up and can't find any signs of leaks, but I've not left it up for long. Collection only from Headington, off the Old Road. Please drop me a line if you're interested.

Scuttlebug child's ride-on toy (Headington OX3)
Gifted
Nifty little scooter-type thing, suitable for approx 1-3 years. Folds down fairly flat in three clicks. These have been in the shed for a while and so will need a good clean, but are in otherwise great condition. Collection please from Headington, off the Old Road - just drop me a line.

Ikea MALM chest of drawers (Headington OX3)
Gifted
Ikea MALM chest of drawers, white. Width: 80 cm x Depth: 48 cm x Height: 78 cm Several years old, so could do with a bit of a scrub. Generally in good order, but the front batons at the bottom of the highest and lowest drawers have broken, and have been reinforced with metal support plates and duck tape - doesn't affect day-to-day use, and it's not glaringly obvious. Collection from New Headington, just off Old Road.

Dulux professional undercoat, white (Headington OX3)
Gifted
Dulux professional undercoat, brilliant white. Non-acrylic. Suitable for wood and metal. Almost all of the can left - I bought and started using in error. Collection from Headington, just off Old Road.

Tall fridge (Headington OX3)
Gifted
Bosch tall fridge. 174cm high - all fridge and no freezer compartment. I have no idea how old it is - it was here when we moved in, and that was almost a decade ago - but still chugs away. Elements like the plastic shelves have seen better days and now rely on duck tape for moral support - which is still holding up. Collection only from Headington, just off Old Road.

Large rug (Headington OX3)
Gifted
240x170cm, all-wool rug. It's had a fair amount of use so is now a little shabby, but there's still a lot of life in it. Collection from Headington. Drop me a line if you're interested - thanks!

Small wooden desk (Headington OX3)
Gifted
Small wooden desk (84cm W x 74cm H x 46cm D) with a pull-out draw. Has been painted and decorated in the past, but would be a good cause for up-cycling. Collection from just off Old Road in Headington; drop me a line if you're interested.

Large cardboard bike box (Headington OX3)
Gifted
Extremely large bike box which may come in handy for anyone planning to ship a bike. It is thick cardboard and quite heavy. And did I mention it was huge? 180cm x 114cm x 28cm: this was technically for a teenager's bike but quite frankly I think it would fit most sizes of bike. Collection from Headington just off the Old Road - please drop me a line if you're interested.

Bike trailer (Headington OX3)
Gifted
Bike trailer for hauling small children - 12 months plus. This is now fairly old and will need a bit of TLC, but may be useful if you need a backup or just want to see if this is the right approach for you. IMPORTANT: the one thing we don't have now is the trailer hitch that bolts onto the bike itself so you would need to get that yourself - they're less than a tenner. Just make sure that you get one which is at a right angle rather than being slanted. I've attached an image. Fits two smallish children side by side, and folds flat for easy storage when you don't need it. Collection from Headington in Oxford - just drop me a line if you're interested.

Grilletto portable barbecue (Headington OX3)
Gifted
Fold-out metal barbecue: uses a ‘chimney’ configuration to get the charcoal to temperature quickly, then the side fold down for grilling, with small grills that can be moved different heights from the heat. When you’re done, you can fold it all up again and store the whole thing in what is allegedly a heatproof transport pouch. Not been used for several years so needs a good clean: I suspect that a good high heat will clean the grills right up. Collection only from Headington in Oxford, near Old Road.

Tassimo machine - needs repair (Headington OX3)
Gifted
Tassimo coffee machine with large tank - not working, but may be fixable if you know your way around these things. Water isn’t getting through to the nozzle, and instead leaks from the bottom. Milk disks work fine, which makes me think the problem might be about a broken hose rather than the mechanism - but I can’t see anything obviously wrong inside. Collection from Headington- drop me a line if you’re interested.
