Free: Glass jars (with lids) (Carterton OX18) Promised I have a load of glass jars available for jam making if anyone can make use of them. Mostly Bonne Maman and supermarket copies of the same, but some bigger (900g - 1Kg) ex honey jars. I'm in Carterton, fairly close to the town centre, and will happily leave them in carrier bags outside my front door if I know when you would like to collect and I might be out. Thanks for looking. Anne.

Free: Plastic takeaway containers (Carterton OX18) Can anyone make use of a large carrier bag full of these before they head for my recycling bin? Mostly the rectangular ones, but one or two of the round ones used for sauces. All been through the dishwasher, so they're all clean. It just seems so wasteful to throw them out rather than re-use them, but I already have plenty to keep me going! Collection only, from Carterton (fairly central), date and time can be quite flexible and if I'm not in I can always leave them in the carrier bag, hanging on my front door handle!

Free: Takeaway containers (Carterton OX18) Hi, these are used, but clean. I have about 20 of the standard oblong ones and half a dozen round ones (the ones they use for sauces, etc). Can anyone make use of them?

Free: Drop leaf dining table (Carterton OX18) Solid wood - oak, I believe - and could do with some tlc, although perfectly usable as it is. Unfortunately, due to various health problems, I am not able to take photos of these, nor to assist with getting it into your vehicle. Thanks for looking. Anne.

Free: Windscreen wiper blades (1 pair) (Carterton OX18) Gifted Hi, These are 20" (51cm) long and are brand new, although they no longer have their packaging - this was badly damaged during a couple of house moves and literally fell apart! Can anyone make use of them before they go to the tip? Collection only from Carterton.

Free: SlimFast Shake Mixes (Carterton OX18) Expired I have on offer six tubs of this, all but one banana flavour open and part used, but all still in date. There are :- 1 x strawberry 1 x blueberry 1 x raspberry and white chocolate 1 x chocolate 2 x banana, one unopened. Unfortunately, although there is no added sugar in any of them, one of the sweeteners used in these is a trigger for migraine for me, so that may also be a problem for some others. If anyone wants to give them a try without the initial cost, these could save someone quite a lot of money. All to go as one please.

Free: Polystyrene box with lid (Carterton OX18) Expired Hi, Can anyone make use of this polystyrene box before I throw it out? It came with a recent meat delivery and the internal measurements are 35.5cm x 26.5cm x 17cm deep. Thanks for looking. Anne.

Free: Reading Glasses, 9 pairs (Carterton OX18) Expired Hi, These are the cheap ones, mostly bought in Poundland, all +2.00 strength (I now need stronger!). 9 pairs in total, mostly suitable for women rather than men, although one or two pairs are pretty unisex.

196d

Free: Rigid Boot for easing plantar fasciitis (Carterton OX18) Expired Hi, This is intended for overnight use to help ease plantar fasciitis if anyone can make use of it? It's a fairly large size - my feet are a large size 8 to give you some idea.

Free: Backstretcher (Carterton OX18) Gifted This is a rechargeable item, working perfectly and has only ever been used twice! Unfortunately, I don't have the floor space to use it, but I also have too much of a problem getting down onto it, and then trying to get up off it again, so have finally decided to let it go to someone who can actually make use of it. I'm close to Carterton town centre and around quite a lot of the time for collection, just let me know when you can collect.

Free: Scholl pedi, battery operated (Carterton OX18) Gifted This was a replacement I bought for one that had worn out and then I invested in a rechargeable alternative! It's never been opened, but comes with the three rollers (coarse, medium and fine) that I already had and extra batteries. The rollers have all been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Anyone interested, before I bin it?

213d

Free: Stocking, loads of! (Carterton OX18) Gifted Hi, I have a carrier bag full of stockings, mostly only ever worn once before being washed and stored away (all in pairs, but many different types and a few different colours, including fuchsia pink and electric blue and at least one pair of fishnet ones!). Some are the hold-up type, others will need a suspender belt. There are even 9 pairs still in their original packaging and never worn! Oh, and there's also a suspender belt, again barely worn, label says size 12-14. Can anyone use these before I bin them?

Request: Dressmakers Dummy (Carterton OX18) Expired Hi, This is probably a bit of a longshot, but does anyone have a dressmakers dummy lurking in a garage or loft somewhere that they no longer use? It needs to be adjustable to sizes 18-22, but I really don't mind if it needs cleaning up and / or doesn't look very pretty, as long as it does the job and is adjustable. I can collect most days, after about midday. Thanks for looking. Anne.

Request: Dining Table, solid wood, extendable (Carterton OX18) Received Hi, this may be a bit of a longshot, but I'm looking for an extendable, solid wood dining table to enable me to use my sewing machine. I currently have two different sized drop leaf ones, but they're really not stable enough for me to use my sewing machine on. It doesn't need to look particularly pretty, just serviceable and sturdy; when I use it as a dining table I can always put a table cloth on it - and eventually possibly re-sand and re-finish it. I can collect most days after about 11am, including evenings and weekends, to suit you if you happen to have one you need to re-home. Thanks for looking.

Free: Takeaway Containers (Carterton OX18) Gifted Hi, these are used, but clean. I have about 20 of the standard oblong ones and half a dozen round ones (the ones they use for sauces, etc). Can anyone make use of them before next Thursday, when they'll be heading for my recycling bin!

Free: TV Unit (Carterton OX18) Gifted This is a smoked glass and chrome unit measuring 120cm (47") wide x 45cm (18") deep x 52cm (21") high. Can anyone make use of it? I'm afraid it has to be collection only and will require two strong people to lift it, as well as a fairly large vehicle to transport it. I am unable to physically help with the lifting due to health problems. The unit is currently sitting in my garden as I simply don't have the space for it indoors, and unfortunately I don't have anything to cover it to protect it from the weather.

264d

Request: Extra Large Plant Pots (Outdoor) (Carterton OX18) Received Hi, I'm really hoping someone may have some of these to re-home! I need quite a few (at least 30cm diameter) for my poor fuchsias, which are fast becoming pot-bound! I'm not bothered what colour they are, nor what they're made of, as long as they are still usable and I'll take as many as I can get hold of. I am able to collect almost any day, after about 11am. Thank you for looking. Anne.

Free: Oven Shelves (4) (Carterton OX18) Expired Hi, these four oven shelves have been retained from a 'dead' Neff double built in oven. They measure (at the outer edges) 45.5cm wide x 33cm deep (17.5 x 13 inches). Can anyone make use of them before they go to the tip? Collection only from Carterton.

Free: Geberit Toilet Descaler (Carterton OX18) Expired Hi, Does anyone out there have one of these Geberit all-singing, all-dancing fancy toilets that needs special descaling fluid every so often? I have had one removed and replaced recently and still have one (extremely expensive!) bottle of the descaler if anyone can make use of it. This is NOT for use in a standard toilet; if you have one of the Geberit toilets you will know what I'm talking about.

Free: Kitchen Cupboard Shelf, 1000mm (Carterton OX18) Gifted Hi, I have a white 1000mm kitchen cupboard shelf to re-home. It was removed from my kitchen recently to allow a blind corner unit to be fitted, having only been on place for about three months and barely used, therefore in excellent condition. Can anyone make use of it before it goes to the tip next weekend?

Request: Filing Cabinet (Carterton OX18) Expired Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone has a wood (or wood effect) 2 drawer filing cabinet they need to re-home please? It just needs to be a standard size and either wood or wood effect, as it's going to have to sit in my living room and a metal one just wouldn't look right! I can collect at various times and on various days to suit. Thanks for looking.

Free: Shampoo, Conditioner and Hair Treatment (Carterton OX18) Gifted All have only been used once, but they do not suit my hair. Can anyone make use of them before I throw them out?

Free: Under Counter Freezer (Carterton OX18) Gifted Can anyone make use of this before it goes to the tip early next week? It's a Zanussi freezer, fully working, although considerably old! I acquired it about two years ago from this site and it's served me well; I have simply replaced it now. It is quite a narrow model, measuring just over 49cm wide (49.2 to be precise), one drawer has been missing since I acquired it, but the shelf is still perfectly usable - I haven't been able to find a replacement, probably due to its age! - and the remaining upper drawer needs either gluing or taping, but fits either of the upper shelves. I think it was produced before "frost free" and "self defrosting" had even been considered, so it will need defrosting occasionally, but in the two years I have had it I have only found this necessary once prior to switching it off when I replaced it, so not a massive problem, and it keeps food frozen.

Free: Waterproof mattress cover (Carterton OX18) Gifted This is a fully enclosed waterproof (not padded, just properly waterproof) mattress cover for a standard double sized mattress, which I purchased when my cat went through a phase of peeing on my bed! The cat has long since settled in and given up this habit so I no longer need the mattress cover. It's been in my wardrobe for some time, so I have put it through the wash again and it's now ready to find a new home. Please let me know if you can make use of it.

Free: Spare/Replacement Christmas Light Bulbs (Carterton OX18) Expired Hi, I have been having a sort out of my Christmas decorations collection and came across these spare bulbs and I no longer have the lights that might have needed them! There are five slightly different fittings, grouped in my photo to show how many of each there are, and also two tools, which I think were used to remove/replace the bulbs, although it's been so long since I've even seen these that I really can't be sure! Can anyone make use of any or all of them before I bin them? I'm in Carterton, not too far from the town centre.

1y

Free: Pirate Party Packs (Carterton OX18) Expired Hi, I have two of these, both are unused. I have taken a photo of one of the boxes, as the label lists clearly exactly what's inside and this was much easier than taking it all out of the box, only to have to get it all back inside the box! Can anyone make use of them?

1y

Free: Self-Adhesive Floor Tiles (Carterton OX18) Gifted Hi, I have 9 packs (3 tiles per pack) of these, purchased just before moving house and I now have no need for them any more. Can anyone make use of them?

Free: Neff Double Oven (some damage) (Carterton OX18) Expired This oven is not the newest model, but was working fine when removed. It unfortunately received some damage to one of the doors in a later house move; I am fairly sure it will be a simple fix if anybody is prepared to take their chance with it. Unfortunately, I am unable to take photos, as it is currently stored facing the back of a 'mini shed' and I am not capable of moving it. You will need to come prepared, ie at least two pretty strong people to carry it; it weighs approximately 250Kg and is extremely awkward for shifting; the most help I can offer is opening the shed and shifting anything else in there that may be in the way. On the plus side, parking shouldn't be a problem, as you can park on my next door neighbour's driveway, almost backing up to my side gate.

Request: Shelving and/or chest of drawers (Carterton OX18) Expired Hi, this is probably a bit of a longshot, but I am looking for (preferably) a chest of drawers and a shelving unit to fit above; however, my space is very limited - width can be no more than 52cm and depth no more than 40cm! The height is not a problem, provided it's no taller in total than standard ceiling height, and if you only have one or the other please contact me anyway - I very much doubt anyone will have both available! Thanks for looking. Anne.

Free: Neff Double built-in Oven (Carterton OX18) Expired Hi, sorry, but this is currently stored in my shed facing the back and I'm currently physically unable to move it to take photos! It's an older model but was working absolutely fine when removed. Unfortunately, it has been slightly damaged in transit when I moved house. I am fairly certain it will be a simple fix - it looks like it's just a door hinge that needs to be looked at. You will need to bring strong help to pick it up, as I am unable to assist with this and it is extremely heavy!
