Self-inflating double bed with a slow puncture (Cubbington CV32)
Gifted
We've tried to find the hole and applied various patches but it still goes down slowly overnight - we have lost patience. If anyone else has the patience you are very welcome to try! Quite expensive new which is why I am reluctant to just chuck it (never mind the materials etc. going to landfill). Plugs in to the mains to inflate/deflate, but can also be let down quickly by removing the bung. Instruction leaflet, bag and cover included. Can be used as a guest bed at home, but also extra comfort when camping (as long as you have access to electricity).

Big square candle - for melting down? (Cubbington CV32)
Expired
I've had this big 4 wick candle for a while. The wicks have always been hard to light and keep alight. Would anyone who makes candles be able to melt down and reuse the wax? I have made a mess trying to dig out the wicks to light, but it is superficial.

Bundle of vintage PC computer software and database cds (Cubbington CV32)
Gifted
I don't know if these will be any use to anyone - they are all out of date - but I know there are people who collect vintage computers so maybe? PC compatible - don't think there are any for Apple Mac. They were my Dad's so I don't really know anything about them. I can leave in the porch to be collected at any time. Possibly I could deliver depending on where you are.
