Request: Old board game (Rodbourne SN2) Withdrawn Does anyone have any old board games they no longer want? My 13 year old daughter has an art project with games as a theme. It doesn't need to be complete, and as long as it looks decent (not broken), she could probably use it. I can collect.

21d

Free: Water Kefir Grains (Rodbourne SN2) Very lively water kefir grains for all your dairy-free fermentation needs. Makes a lovely drink, my kids love it. It's super productive, now I have many jars of excess grains in my fridge. Easy to brew to make your own probiotic drink, it only needs sugar and (boiled, then cooled, or bottled) water. Each jar makes enough for two litres of water kefir (use 8 tablespoons of sugar). Stir and let it sit for a couple of days, and once it stops smelling sugary, it's ready. Strain with a sieve into glass or plastic bottles and refrigerate. Do not store in metal, it goes all funny. Free to collect or I can drop off if on my way somewhere.

Free: DVD drive (Rodbourne SN2) Gifted As seen, a DVD drive from an old Dell desktop. Worked when last used a number of years ago. Possibly of use to a computer hobbyist or enthusiast? See the second photo for the info sticker on the underside of the drive. Collection from Rodbourne.

Free: DVD/CD rewritable drive (Rodbourne SN2) Gifted As seen (specs in second photo). DVD/CD rewritable drive, from an old Compaq desktop purchased, ahem, some time ago. My husband wanted to keep it 'just in case it comes in handy', but I asked him when that would be. So we're offering it to any computer enthusiast out there who might be looking for one of these. Collection from Rodbourne.

Free: Windfall apples (Rodbourne SN2) Gifted Half our old apple tree fell over with the weight of our apple crop this year. Pictured is less than half a bag of the three bags we have collected so far. I'm going to make as much pie filling, chutney, and apple butter as I can, but does anyone want any not-quite-ripe yet cooking apples? Bring your own bag to collect!

70d

Free: Shoe insoles (Rodbourne SN2) Expired Insoles from Hush Puppies school shoes, measurements as seen in the photos. Suits size 11 (single pair) or 12-13 (two pairs).

235d

Free: 20+ issues of Aquila magazine (Rodbourne SN2) Gifted If you have intellectually curious children, run an after-school service or library, these are great. Each issue has a theme, and there are activities and all sorts of engaging content. From a smoke- and pet-free home.

Free: Elbow patches (Rodbourne SN2) Expired Unpicked some elbow patches from a Zara cardigan. They are more brown than they appear in the photo. Unsure of material, but I doubt it's leather. 8cm x 13cm, approximately. Might be useful for patching stuff or costuming purposes, perhaps?
