Request: Battery DL123/CR123A 3V Lithium (Kidlington OX5) Received Hello, I'm looking for the above battery - any brand, it doesn't need to be new, just anything that has a tiny bit of life in it!

If anyone has a spare battery of this type around Kidlington/Summertown/Oxford location then let me know! Thank you.

Free: Chair pads x 4 (Summertown OX2) Gifted Four chair pads - previously used for kitchen chairs. Light green floral design. Two of the pads have been very well used - these are flatter and have some marks on (they have been washed and the marks are not obvious due to the floral pattern). The other two are more 'puffy' - one looks like it hasn't been used at all, the other slightly. The pads should have two ties in each corner to attach them to the chair - these are missing on one of the pads, there is one tie on two of the pads and the unused pad has both ties! The pads are square and 40-45cm in width/length - the variation depends on how 'puffy' the pad still is. Collect from either Kidlington or Summertown.

320d

Free: Tapesty wool and embroidery thread (Summertown OX2) Gifted Mixed, large selection of tapestry wools and smaller selection of embroidery threads. They are mostly the brand DMC - they are quite old so the numbers on the threads (relating to the colour) may well be long out of date. They are partly used, so the length of wool/thread varies on each one. Collect from either Kidlington or Summertown.
