Free: Stretching tool (Widcombe) Apparently this helps you achieve pancake splits. It didn’t work for me, but I have really tight hamstrings. Hoping someone else will have more luck with it than I have! Please leave number and let me know when you can collect if interested.

Free: Automatic pet feeder (Widcombe) Gifted I got this free for review purposes. The instructions are in badly translated Chinese, and I can’t make head nor tail of them. I gather there’s an app to be downloaded, but when I follow the QR code, the app appears to be in Chinese. So, while it is brand new, it may require a working knowledge of Mandarin (?) to know what to do. Or maybe the English instructions will make more sense to someone else!

Free: Assorted art and crafts items - paint pens, markers, brushes (Widcombe) Gifted Please leave number and let me know when you can collect if interested.

Free: Extra thick yoga mats (Widcombe) Gifted Please leave number and let me know when you can collect if interested.

6d

Free: Golf putting practice set (Widcombe) Expired Never used. Please leave contact number and let me know when you can collect if interested.

27d

Free: BabyLis rotating brush hair dryer (Widcombe) Gifted Replicates what they do in the salon. I love it, but I got one with a shorter barrel which works better for me.

35d

Free: Random toiletries (Widcombe) Gifted Hair dye, toothpaste, face creams, makeup brushes I think these are all unopened (except the makeup brushes, which have previously been used) but please accept my apologies in advance if I missed one or two. I cannot see expiry dates on them, so I think they are all of the “use within 12 months of opening” variety. The hairs dyes are all dark or medium-dark brown and are probably at least two years old, as I changed my hair colour about that time.

40d

Free: ThinkPad laptop (Widcombe) Gifted May require someone skilled in laptop repair, or it may be fine. The story behind this is: I had this laptop for work. I was getting a lot of blue screen errors, and they tried to fix it remotely, but couldn’t. They sent me a new one, and I was going to send this one back once it was confirmed that the new one was working properly. But then they made me redundant and said I should keep the laptop because it would cost them more to collect it than it’s worth. I looked online, and these laptops sell for £800+ when working correctly. It may even be working correctly now, as they wiped it remotely after my last official day, and for all I know that could have cured the problem. I have another laptop, so I don’t really need this one, and so I would be happy to see it go to a good home. It has a touch screen, and is lightweight, both of which are useful features IMO. Please leave a number and let me know when you can collect if interested.

40d

Free: Panasonic hair straighteners (Widcombe) Gifted Hardly used.

40d

Free: First aid stuff (Widcombe) Gifted First aid kit, silicone plasters (for scars I think, they don’t have gauge), and an item that claims to prevent cold sore break outs. Not sure how I got all these things!

40d

Free: Veggie bullet (Widcombe) Gifted Grates, slices, spiralises. Please provide number and let me know when you can collect if interested.

59d

Free: Kenwood Multipro Excel (Widcombe) Gifted Would suit someone good with electronics, as the “on” button is unreliable. Probably just a loose connection, but we don’t have the skills to repair it. Works fine otherwise. Comes with lots of accessories, including blender, grinder, 4 slicing disks, beater, etc, as you can see from the picture. Also has a weighing function. Three bowls sizes (they are nested inside each other in the photo. Please leave a number and let me know when you can collect if interested. Thanks!

62d

Free: Solid oak cabinet (Widcombe) Gifted Formerly a TV cabinet, from back in the days before flat screen TVs were common! Dimensions in cm: 117W x 62D x 156H This is a high quality item and cost £1800 when we bought it 20-odd years ago. It is EXTREMELY HEAVY. Two strong men struggled to bring it into our home when we moved. We cannot help you move it, so please take that into consideration. Please provide phone number and let us know when you can collect if interested.

63d

Free: Baking stuff (Widcombe) Gifted Casserole dishes, pie panes, cannoli moulds, etc

69d

Free: IKEA kitchen wall unit (Widcombe) Gifted White items only, not the blue unit it’s sitting on Gloss white 120 cm W x 22 D x 39 H Please leave number and ket me know when you can collect if interested.

69d

Free: Cuisinant waffle iron (Widcombe) Gifted 36 cm W x 17 D X H has not been used for some years, would be nice to give it a home where it would be used :)

69d

Free: Shoe shelf inserts (Widcombe) Expired Practically new. Taken out of a cabinet unit as we decided we needed the space for shelving rather than shoes. They will need a casing built around them, so would suit someone who is handy with carpentry! Dimensions: 80cm wide x 40 cm high x ~22 cm deep

73d

Free: Roomba robot vacuum (needs attention) (Widcombe) Gifted The connections with the charging station have got a bit fussy, so ideally this would go to someone who is handy with electronics. You can work around it by placing a wedge under one end to increase the contact pressure at the other, but it’s a bit annoying so would be better for someone who can fix it :). You will need to download the Roomba app to get the best use out of it!

127d

Free: Sage toaster oven (Widcombe) Gifted W47 X D40 (including handle) x H29 (cm) Very handy item - if you get smaller pans, you can roast a small chicken. Very energy efficient. Getting rid of it because we upgraded to the version that in includes an air fryer function, but I’ve loved this little toaster oven. Generally good condition, fully working order.

128d

Free: Liquid cat food (Widcombe) Gifted 21 tins of liquid cat food. We got think because it’s nutritionally complete, unlike some cat soups, but unfortunately our cat doesn’t like it. If you have an elderly cat like ours who struggles with solid food, maybe this will help.

143d

Free: Miele Cat & Dog vacuum cleaner (Widcombe) Gifted 10 years old. A bit battered, but it still works and has all the accessory heads. The suction isn’t what it once was, but it’s adequate. You could either use it as is, or some clever person might be able to diagnose the problem and improve it. We recently changed the filter, which did make an improvement.

245d

Free: Bath stone blocks (Widcombe) Gifted Approximately 30 cm x 30 cm x 10 cm. Very heavy! These aren’t at our house, so we’ll need to organise an exact meeting time. Also, as they are heavy, it would be great if you have someone strong who can collect.

248d

Free: Basic shelving unit (Widcombe) Gifted 194H x 60W x 20D. It’s not luxury, but it’s in good condition (a little tiny bit of wear on one edge). I think it might be IKEA. Please leave number and let me know when you can collect if interested.

308d

Free: Sage50 accounting software (Widcombe) Gifted Never opened, but it may be completely obsolete as we bought it about 10 or 15 years ago (I thought we needed it, but my husband found a package he liked better, and we never got around to returning it). Maybe it’s good if you have an old computer? Please leave number and let me know when you can collect if interested.

308d

Free: IKEA drawer unit (Widcombe) Gifted Good condition except the top which is a little bit worn (just a little!) Leave number and let me know when you could collect if interested.

328d

Free: Juicer (whole fruit) (Widcombe) Gifted It’s a very nice juicer, we just don’t drink juice anymore. It’s a little fiddly to assemble if you aren’t used to it, but you can probably find the instructions online (I lost them long ago). Leave your number and let me know when you can collect if interested.

1y

Free: Raclette for 2 (Widcombe) Gifted Raclette maker with two trays. Leave your number and let me know when you can collect if interested.

Free: Selection of tea, vitamins and oats (Widcombe) Gifted As pictured. Leave your number and let me know when you can collect if interested.

1y

Free: Electric wax kit + oil (Widcombe) Gifted For melting wax for waxing hair off your body. There is still wax in the bottom of the pot (I tried to melt it put, but it proved too challenging - it won’t harm the final result though, you can just add more wax beads on top). Also a bottle of pre- and post waxing oil, never opened. Please leave a number and let me know when you can collect if interested.

Free: Portuguese pottery (Widcombe) Gifted The grape one has a broken lid that had been glued back together, the other two pieces are fine. Please provide a number and let me know when you can collect if interested.
