Free: Air bed (with stand and leak!) (Widcombe) EZ Sport double air mattress and frame that folds up neatly. includes integrated pump. it's an amazing piece of tech BUT it has a slow puncture, which I can't find. Maybe one of you has the expertise and/or patience to be able to fix this? Otherwise i'll take it to the tip the New Year... This is a similar product on Amazon So you can see it's a high value item!

Free: Belkin KVM (Widcombe) Expired For those who don’t know a KVM is a cable that allows you to share a screen, keyboard and mouse with two devices at once. I’ve had this for a few years though as the only monitor inputs are VGA (not HDMI) Can anyone make use of this before it goes in the recycle bin ?

Free: Google Cardboard headsets (Widcombe) Expired I’ve had these a few years. They are Greenpeace branded Google Cardboard VR headsets where you put your smartphone in and if you go to certain websites , apps or YouTube videos it looks like it’s in 3d They’re a few years old now. One is constructed and dusty and one is still sealed. Anyone want to play with them these summer holidays before I put them in the recycling bin?!

Free: Broken semi precious necklace (Widcombe) Gifted Can anyone out there make use of the beads from this broken necklace? When I was given it they said it had semi precious stones (aquamarine) and dark grey natural pearls? I had kept it with a view to fixing it but I know I never will!

Free: First Aid box (Widcombe) Expired Green well stocked first aid box full of bandages, plasters, heat blankets. I was given this last year as some of the items were close to their expiry date. But they all seem good to me. Could be of use to a scout group who might want to practise their first aid skills? Or an accident prone house hold? Or just to keep in the car?

Request: 3.5in HDD reader/caddy (Widcombe) Received Does anyone have one of these gathering dust that I could have/borrow please? I liberated my late mum’s hard disk drive from her old computer and I just want to see if there’s anything useful on it before I bin it. I only want to use it once so don’t really want to spend £17 on a new reader from Amazon. Happy to free cycle it again if any of you kind people have one...

Free: Clothes rail (Widcombe) Gifted Black metal clothes rail. Easy to disassemble/reassemble BUT one of the joints broke (as I overloaded it with clothes) but could still be used if the joint was repaired (with gaffer tape?) and then a sensible amount of clothes hung on it. Will take to the tip next week if no takers which is a shame as it was a high quality product.
