Free: Three AAA powered bike lights (Peachcroft OX14) One front and two rear bike lights that are powered from two AAA batteries each. These haven't been used in some years but the batteries have been removed for storage. These are not very bright so more for helping traffic to see you than lighting up the road.

18d

Free: Kids BMX/skateboard style helmet (Peachcroft OX14) Plain black cycle helmet for primary aged child. This is a pretty heavy duty protective style helmet rather than the lighter weight ones that most people would use for cycling. Has various scuffs and scratches but no damage from any crashes.

Free: Double-braced steel keyboard stand (one leg slightly bent) (Peachcroft OX14) A sturdy double-braced keyboard stand that was used for a very heavy keyboard. One of the legs is slightly bent which means you need to add some padding under it to stabilise, or you could try bending it back into shape. The second photo shows what should be a straight line and the third photo zoomed in to show the crack that exists. Folded down the stand is 100cm long and its 34cm deep at the keyboard end and 45cm deep at the feet, easily adjustable to one of five heights using a steel lockpin.

Free: Four USB charged bike lights (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Two sets of front/rear small bike lights that are plugged into a USB socket to charge. These are LED lights but not very bright so more for helping traffic to see you than lighting up the road.

Free: Car Jump Leads (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Box containing a pair of Halfords branded jump leads (for starting a car with a dead battery). Only ever used once or twice and many years ago.

26d

Free: Car Engine Oil (1 litre - Castrol Edge OW-30) (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Old but unopened 1 litre bottle of car engine oil. It's been lying around our garage since we moved house so has a filled date of 2009 but as its oil I'm guessing it doesn't expire.

26d

Free: Bicycle D-lock (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Black key opening D-lock for bicycles. Supplied with a single key and a bracket that could be used to attach it to the frame of the bike. Plastic coated steel.

26d

Free: Large giraffe ornament (African) (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Large giraffe ornament with a sprung neck that will swing back and forwards if the head is moved. Mostly a pale wood apart from the sprung neck (coppery metal) and would fit in well with any kind of African decor (it came from Zambia). Its 120cm high and stands on a wooden base that is 25cm * 15cm.

28d

Free: Tag-along chariot that can be attached behind any bike (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Tag-along chariot that can be attached to the back of any bike and used to transport a relatively small child, or just as a trailer to carry other things. Supplied with the fixings to attach to the bike frame but can be easily removed and attached as required. This is getting pretty old now so shows some signs of surface rust on the attachment bar and wheels but all seems to be solid. It's a Halfords Trail Buggy and the wording inside says its suitable for a child up to 100lbs (45kg) and it has harness straps. The chariot is 60cm wide (including wheels), about 75cm high and about 80cm deep plus a further 50cm for the bar that keeps the chariot away from the back wheel of the bike.

Free: Flexible neck reading light (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Chrome effect reading light which is designed to be clipped onto the headboard of the bed or similar. Comes with a standard 3 pin plug on 2-3m of lead wire and a strong clip at the base of the light for attachment. Its a bright LED light on a flexible neck so should be pointed directly at the book rather than using as a background light.

28d

Free: 2x TP-Link 500Mbps powerline adapters (receiving units) (Peachcroft OX14) Expired Pair of working TP-Link 500Mbps powerline adapters that should be usable to extend any existing powerline network. Please note these are just the receivers as the main (master) unit has stopped working and shows no signs of life when plugged in. You are welcome to have this as well if you fancy your hand with electronics repairs but more likely these are only useful if you already have a Powerline system and want to extend it further.

Free: 2 pairs of teracotta checked curtains (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Two pairs of teracotta coloured checked curtains. Both made from the same material but slightly different sizes (have been custom made to fit the windows). Each of the four curtains has button down tabs at the top so should go on any pole. * First pair = 2 of 172cm wide and 115cm drop (excluding tabs which add about 10cm). Window was 180 wide x 107 deep * Second pair = 2 of 112cm wide and 112cm deep (exlcuding tabs again). Window was 175 wide x 102 deep If you want them you can also have the pine/oak poles that they were hung on along with fixings (see pictures 4&5), if not then no probs and I'll just re-list these separately. Both poles are long so have a joint in the middle: * First pole = 203cm long, about 25mm diameter * Second pole = 180cm long, about 25mm diameter * Fixings = pole ends, support brackets and hold backs

Free: Aproderm emolient cream (up to 9 50g tubes) (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Tubes of an emolient cream that is a moisturiser/soap substitute for people with Eczema or other dry skin conditions (says suitable from birth). I have 9 tubes, each of which is 50g so you can have the lot or if you just want a few that's fine - let me know when you reply. All of them are unused and still have their sanitary seal intact. We got them for my daughter but then found a different product that worked better for her.

251d

Free: Emergency puncture repair - pressurised can (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Unused pressurised can that is supposed to be for emergency car tyre inflation. Note it says it will only work for tyres up to 16" so small cars. Our cars have bigger tyres so no use to us.

251d

Free: Pair of tan coloured wireless ear-buds (with charging case) (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Pair of unbranded but working wireless earbuds supplied with their charging case (which itself charges off a USB-C connection). Should be able to connect with bluetooth to any Android or Apple phone.

251d

Free: Soft case/sleeve for small laptop or large tablet (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted A padded laptop sleeve with a zip across the top and no carry handles, sort of mint green colour. Note - this is too small for a standard size laptop so designed for a laptop tablet up to about 12" screen size (I make the internal dimensions about 13" corner to corner). Reasonably good condition & fairly clean.

274d

Free: Lorus ladies/girls digital watch (needs a new battery) (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Lorus (labelled as CAL 2017 R23) digital watch with a white strap and metallic/white face and purple function buttons and detailing. Supplied in its original case with an instruction book but the watch doesn't turn on so it will need to have a new battery fitted. Was working fine when packed away in a drawer but that was some years ago. Probably has a load of functions such as stopwatch, alarms etc and labelled as water resistant.

274d

Free: Two slice toaster (Peachcroft OX14) Expired Philips two-slice toaster in a sort of mint green colour. Good working condition but well used so labelling of the dials and buttons is somewhat faded and the metalwork inside the toaster is quite browned. Hasn't been used in some years so you'll probably need to burn off some dust before first use.

282d

Free: 7x Hydraseal 10cmx10cm wound dressings (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted These are some sort of special wound dressing that is supposed to create a moist but sterile environment for a wound to heal, seems a bit like a gel pad when stuck on. 7 left in individual sterile packaging.

306d

Free: Portable CD player (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Going quite retro but if you still have CDs and want a portable player then this works. Small in size and pink & white in colour this will play CDs or has a line in so could be connected to something like a phone. Also has a MW/LW radio although there are much easier ways to get radio nowadays. All working so far as I can tell and in good condition but the white plastic is looking a bit more yellow given its age (certainly more than 10 years old).

306d

Free: Electric Chocolate Fountain (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Russell Hobbs plug in electric chocolate fountain - great for kids parties. Controls for heating & the fountain (pump which sends the liquid chocolate to the top). Complete with all parts & instruction manual. Hasn't been used for some years but worked well last time it was used.

306d

Free: Grey & Black desk chair (Peachcroft OX14) Expired Basic Ikea grey/black office chair on castors. Seat can be raised or lowered and back rest can be set to recline or locked into position. The back is a comfortable net mesh with added lumbar support. The seat cushion was feeling a bit thin so we added a moulded support cushion some time ago. You can have this as well if you want it (see photo 2 & 3). All in good condition with no rips or tears and from a smoke & pet free home. For details about the chair see this link but this is the current model so may be slightly different to ours which is about six years old: /

309d

Free: Small dining table or desk (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Small varnished wooden dining table (121cm long, 68cm wide, 72cm high), think you would call it an antique pine finish. In good condition. We have been using it as a desk so to allow for a desk chair to go underneath I have sawn through the side-rail on one side (see photo #2). However I have kept the piece of wood that was cut out so if you intend to use as a table rather than a desk it would be a simple DIY job to either glue or screw this back into place (see photo #4 which shows the piece of wood removed).

336d

Free: Oil Diffuser (electric) incl. pack of 3 scents (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted White oil diffuser which you need to plug into a USB socket. Add some water and a few drops of oil and it will gently heat the water and release a scent into the room. Brand new and in box with instructions and unopened scent jars, never used as we happened to already have one.

1y

Free: Bluetooth wireless earphones (only one reliably working) (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Pair of white bluetooth wireless earphones - should work with most Android/Apple phones. Right one works well but the left one does sometimes cut out or play at a low volume. Brand is Anker and model P2i (you can still buy these on Amazon). Come with wireless charging case so just pop the earphones back in the case to charge and charge the case by USB every so often.

1y

Free: Pair of curtains - blue space/planets themed (kids bedroom) (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Pair of curtains with blue background and space theme aimed at a younger audience. Each is 160cm wide ungathered or about 80cm gathered and the drop is 135cm. They are blackout lined so good for keeping the room dark. The design shows various named planets in green or yellow. In good condition (although a bit dusty so could probably do with a wash). Outgrown by our son.

1y

Free: 5x 5 litre metal cannisters (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Five metal cannisters (5 litre size each) that contained driveway sealant but are now empty. White metallic cans (with a large sticker on one side) with a plastic handle and a plastic stopper that screws into the hole to seal the can. These wouldn't be food safe but could be used to store liquids such as cleaning solutions.

1y

Free: Kids play tunnel (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Children's round play tunnel - 180cm long x 46cm wide in red, yellow and blue. Supplied in carry case so easy to pop away.

1y

Free: Old Fitbit Inspire activity tracker (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Fitbit Inspire activity tracker/watch that is a few years old. Still works for tracking steps and distance (and as a watch) but heartrate sensor seems to no longer work so won't measure heartbeat. Install the fitbit app on most android or apple phones to setup and track stats over time. Supplied with the charger (plugs into any USB socket) and a pink strap but also with a longer strap for people with larger wrists, also supplied with a set of smaller/larger black straps if you prefer these.
