Purple window blinds (to fit 210cm wide * 108cm deep window) (Peachcroft OX14)
Purple (appear a bit reddish in full sun) vertical window blinds taken from a recently re-decorated bedroom. They are a fixed size and not easily adjustable so your window would need to be 210cm wide and 108cm deep (or slightly bigger). They are a little discoloured from years of blocking sunlight but the mechanisms for drawing the blinds and turning closed or open work fine (two chains at the left side). At the bottom of the blinds a plastic line of beads should connect to each blind but a few of these are broken (see last picture, although doesn't stop the blinds being open and closed).

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

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.

Family size (5 person) tent - old & not waterproof (Peachcroft OX14)
Gifted
Family sized tent with central living area and bedrooms at both ends. It is an Outwell 'Winfield Plus' model. The tent is circa 10 years old and was initially used a few times per year but hasn't been used in the past ten years or so as we upgraded (and TBH I forgot we had it stored in the loft). Technically sleeping room for five (three in the larger bedroom, two in the smaller) but quite tight unless at least some of the people are younger children. Bedrooms are inner tents that clip into the assembled tent and have integrated groundsheets but the main tent does not (although there is a separate groundsheet which fills the gap between the inner tents. When we last used it it was starting to leak so can't be trusted to be waterproof so ideally suited for fair weather camping or as a play tent. Note: Fair Chance policy applies, to give people more time to respond.

Gifted

Older tech wireless (not bluetooth) over ear headphones. (Peachcroft OX14)
Gifted
Pair of over ear headphones that can be used to watch TV without annoying other people. Note these are not bluetooth headphones as would be commonly used nowadays. Instead there is a 'charging/transmitting base' that you place the headphones in to recharge after use and this needs a wired connection to the headphone socket of your device (probably a TV but could be anything with a standard 3.5mm jack socket). This base unit then transmits the audio to the headphones wirelessly so will only work if you stay relatively close (pretty much same room). Bought a long time ago and have been lying unused for some years. Supplied with power lead and audio cable that connects the base to the audio source.

Electric heating pad (for people with back problems) (Peachcroft OX14)
Gifted
Plug in electric heating pad designed to wear on your back and provide comfort for back pain (or could be used on other parts of the body). Adjustable heat and with straps at the top and bottom to hold the pad in place. Measures 60cm long and 40cm wide and my daughter used it to provide comfort when she had back pain (but hasn't used it in some time now) .

10m long type 2 EV charging cable (partially working) (Peachcroft OX14)
Gifted
10m long charging cable suitable for most modern electric cars (type 2 connections on both ends). We were using this with our home charger but started encountering unreliability issues and have replaced it. However it still works somewhat and may be OK with a different charger (we have a Zappi) or car (we have an Ioniq 5). We had been using the cable for about 2 years with no issues but more recently it would start charging but stop before it should have. Generally it would charge between 3KWh and 7KWh and then report that the "EV was full" when it wasn't. Unplugging the cable and plugging it in again would give the same result so you could fully charge the car but only if you went out to the charger every 30-60 minutes. We did various tests to conclude that the issue was with the cable and indeed since replacing it have had no issues. If you want to try using it with your own charger and car you are welcome to it.

Three AAA powered bike lights (Peachcroft OX14)

Large giraffe ornament (African) (Peachcroft OX14)

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.

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.

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.

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.

Emergency puncture repair - pressurised can (Peachcroft OX14)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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: /

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).
