Very old wood veneer (Lixwm CH8)
Several pieces of veneer which have come off a decrepit piece of furniture. Before I throw this out, is it the kind of thing that could be re used to restore something else? Collect from CH8, between Brynford and Lixwm.

Two pogo sticks (Kennington OX1)
Gifted
Two pogo sticks. They used to have encouraging/ amusing sound effects. Now one has stopped working for no discernible reason, but the other still works (they each need 3 AA batteries). Without the sounds of course you can still jump about on them perfectly satisfactorily. Collect from Kennington, please say when you could come.

Large 'Le Parfait' jar with a chip (Kennington OX1)
Withdrawn
Large 'Le Parfait' jar with a chip. I was using this to store sugar but last time I used it, just as I went to close the lid a piece spontaneously broke off!

Water containers (Kennington OX1)
Received
Does anyone have (or know a good source of) containers like this? I'm making an effort to water the nice new street trees the council planted a few months ago, but I only have one container and obviously it would be more efficient and environmentally friendly if I could do several in one trip. Just carrying open buckets of water around isn't great, especially with all the speed bumps! If I could get hold of some more containers like this, that previously contained something that wasn't particularly harmful, that would be great. Does anyone have any suggestions, maybe catering establishments, healthcare, science labs...?? Happy to collect at a time to suit. Many thanks!

Let me just start by saying that these are NOT suitable for outside use and not a lot of use as plant pots either. More like some sort of decorative object.
