Free: Cafetière frame but no glass jug (Addiscombe CR0) I have a silver cafetière to give away but it’s just the metal holder / frame - no glass jug which was smashed. I guess it’s a 3 cup one but I’m not sure. Glass jugs can be purchased separately or someone might have a jug but no cafetière holder. Collection from CR0 7JR - suggest a day and time. Thank you.

Free: Wired part of kitchen heat alarm (Addiscombe CR0) Withdrawn This might appeal to an electrician but it’s quite a niche item. We had to repair our kitchen heat alarm when the detachable bottom part broke but we had to buy the whole alarm. This means we have half the alarm to give away. It’s brand new (we didn’t change our original wired section as it was too fiddly). This is the bit that gets wired in and fixed to the ceiling. You need to acquire or already have, the bottom part with the battery to actually make it work. But maybe an electrician or handy person can make use of this. It’s made by AICO, type Ei144. See photos. Collection anytime from CR0 7JR.

Free: 2 floor mops - used but good condition (Addiscombe CR0) Gifted 2 Floor mops. They probably need new pads but work fine. One is brand Vileda. Might save someone from buying a brand new mop.

Free: Cheese Making kit (Addiscombe CR0) Gifted This kit is a bit old now but the contents are still useable. It has plenty of herbs and ingredients that might still work, they are about 2 years out of date. Full instructions and kit still in the box but you need to buy the milk etc to make the cheese. Collection on Wednesday at arranged times from CR07JR.

Free: Chilli growing kit (Addiscombe CR0) Gifted This kit has never been opened so still has all the pieces inside including the seeds which are 8 years out of date. But who knows they might still grow? Or even if the seeds aren’t used, there are 3 terracotta pots and compost. Collection Wednesday at arranged times from CR07JR.

Free: 28 cm fry pan with lid (Addiscombe CR0) Gifted This well used fry pan has been replaced with a new one for Christmas so I hope someone can make use of it. The lid fits fine and the surface is not scratched. The only issue is that the bottom has buckled so it’s uneven on the cooker top and needs propping up to hold it steady. Annoying but otherwise it’s still a decent pan for someone who needs one. Please suggest a collection time from CR07JR.

Free: Body shop gift bag and 3 items (Addiscombe CR0) Gifted This was a lovely gift but I don’t like the mango scent. The hand cream is open and was used once, the other 2 items are unused. It’s papaya dry oil mist, mango hand cream and mango shower gel in a little gift bag. Don’t want to see it go to waste. Please collect from CR07JR and mention a time. Today is good!

Free: Multiple gift bags in various sizes (Addiscombe CR0) Gifted I am very fortunate to receive gifts from children regularly but that means I’ve accumulated a large number of gift bags which I will never be able to reuse. They are all in excellent condition. Many sizes - large, small and lots of bottle bags. Please reply with how many you might like to collect and a collection day and time. Collection from CR0 7JR.

Free: Packs of untreated Lambswool (Addiscombe CR0) Gifted This lambs wool has been regularly delivered as insulation for frozen food so I have quite a pile of it. It can be used as snail deterrent in gardens, lining for birds nests, knee pads for garden work, house insulation, animal bedding or crafting…. Or other ideas! If anyone can use this please let me know and maybe how much you could use. Happy for it to be split or go to one place. Collection from CR0 7JR - available various days and times.

Free: King Size Duvet Covers x 3 (Addiscombe CR0) Gifted These 3 king size duvet covers are no longer required. They are used but still have plenty of life in them. They have been stored in a dry cupboard for a few years but not used in that time so need a refresh. 1 x pale pink with 2 matching pillowcases 1 x deep blue with a kind of black thin stripe running through it (see photos) 1 x patterned with green and brown leaves - there’s a little fading on one side of this one but it can’t be seen when turned over. These can go to one person or more if someone doesn’t want the lot. Collection from CR07JR - please reply with collection time and day.

Free: Organic cotton fabric … ex-bed linen (Addiscombe CR0) Gifted I have a collection of cream coloured bed sheets (mostly double and king size fitted and flat and one duvet cover) made from organic cotton, plus one blue stripy piece. They all have damage E.g. torn at the edge or split in the middle but someone might have a use for them to make costumes, etc. Halloween maybe, animal bedding, or some other sewing project? The photo doesn't really show clearly how much but I weighed it and it's 3.8kg so quite a bundle. Good quality organic cotton but no good as bed linen anymore due to the rips. If no takers, I am aware that a charity shop will take them for rag and get some money. If interested please reply with a collection time and day. Collection from CR07JR.
