1d

Free: Wooden clock - electrical (Kidlington OX5) Wooden electrical clock. The brand is Ferranti - art deco style probably from the 1930s. It is electrical so would need new wiring to make it work. Thought it worth posting in case anyone with a love for old clocks/or has electrical knowledge wants to get it back in working order. It is approx 15cm high and 24cm wide. Collect from Kidlington.

18d

Free: Microwave turntable support (Summertown OX2) As per the photos. I'm afraid I don't know what brand/model of microwave this came from. It measures approx 11.3cm from the centre to the end of the white bit on the arm. The centre bit is in the shape of a cross and has the letter 'B' marked into the plastic. It is old, but I can't see any reason why it wouldn't still work! Collect from either Kidlington or Summertown.

51d

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.

82d

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are mostly the brand DMC - they are quite old so the numbers on the threads (relating to the colour) may well be long out of date.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.

85d

Free: Shopping trolley (Summertown OX2) Gifted Modern floral pattern. It has had plenty of wear - there are some scuffs, some tears and probably could do with a bit of a clean. But also hopefully plenty of life left in it yet! One of the wheels is slightly wobbly, but no signs that it would fall off. Height from floor to top of handle is 95cm. Collect from either Kidlington or Summertown.

86d

Free: Bathroom scales (Summertown OX2) Gifted Bathroom scales by Lakeland. Instruction booklet enclosed. Takes 1 x CR2032 battery. In working order as far as I can tell (my weight on these scales is consistent with other bathroom scales). Have given them a clean, but a few marks remain. There is one silver tab missing off the bottom left hand side, as can be seen on the photo (I can't see that the tab has any functional role). There is a slight chip in the glass top left hand side which isn't sharp and bearly noticeable. Collect from either Kidlington or Summertown.

86d

Free: Zerocream emollient (Summertown OX2) Gifted Zerocream emollient 500g - a cream for the relief of symptoms of dry skin conditions. Unused and not opened. Has an expiry date of January 2026. Collect from Kidlington or Summertown.

86d

Free: BT wifi hotspot extender kit (Summertown OX2) Gifted Mini wi-fi home hotspot 500 kit by BT. We didn't use it in the end - I am pretty sure it is working (lights come on when plugged in), but could not 100% guarantee. The instructions are missing, but can be found and downloaded from the internet. Collect from either Kidlington or Summertown.

86d

Free: Wooden masher (Summertown OX2) Gifted I think this is a wooden masher. Vintage! Collect from either Kidlington or Summertown.

155d

Free: Kitchen bin (Kidlington OX5) Gifted Contains 2 bins. The top bin lifts out - the button controlling the lid on the top isn't working well hence the lid is always open! It might be fixable, I'm not too sure. The bottom bin comes out with a foot pedal (there was a little handle on the front of the bottom bin which snapped off, but it's still okay to get the bin out to empty it). So it's not in the best condition overall but it does still work as a bin! Dimensions are: Height = 77cm, Width = 32cm and Depth = 30cm. Collect from Kidlington or Summertown

158d

Free: Waterproof shower seal (to protect a cast or bandages) (Summertown OX2) Gifted I think this item is a waterproof shower seal. The length is 66 cm. I think the blue strap is to ensure a secure fit at the top of the plastic around the elastic (as found on a YouTube video). It is old as found in a cupboard whilst at my parents house, but apart from a little yellowing, it looks in good condition. Collect from Kidlington or Summertown.

159d

Free: Ceiling pull chord (Summertown OX2) Gifted Ceiling pull chord. It would be old, but is in an unopened packet, so am assuming it would work fine. Collect from either Summertown or Kidlington.

167d

Free: Mini greenhouse/polytunnel (Kidlington OX5) Gifted Please see photos. It's unfortunately not in good condition - there are a good few rips and tears, and it needs a good clean - but thought I would offer in case any use to anyone. One side of the greenhouse is plastic, and the other side is a mesh fabric. It has guy ropes so that it can be staked down with some pegs. Approximate dimensions are: height = 150cm, width = 180cm and depth = 75cm. Collect from Kidlington.

168d

Free: Step stool (Summertown OX2) Gifted Old step stool - it is a bit grotty and the seat cover is peeling at one side - am thinking could be useful in a garage or shed - or could be cleaned or upcycled! Approx 60cm high, 37cm wide and 41cm deep (at the base, with the steps folded in). Collect from either Summertown or Kidlington. Thank you

172d

Free: Recycling stickers (Summertown OX2) Gifted Two sheets of recycling stickers - self adhesive for sticking to a bin, container etc so that hopefully the correct items go in! Each circular label is 6cm in diameter. Six labels on each sheet. Collect from Summertown or Kidlington

200d

Free: Mini frying pan (Summertown OX2) Expired Mini frying pan - see photo - I have put a teaspoon next to it to show how small it is. The diameter at the top is 14cm and the bottom is 9cm. There is a 1cm scratch near to the middle of the pan (just about visible in the photo). I think the frying pan's purpose is for making one fried egg! Collect from Kidlington or Summertown.

207d

Free: Poached egg maker (Summertown OX2) Gifted Plastic poached egg maker. The diameter is 17.5cm so fits in a saucepan with diameter of 18cm. The poached egg cups would probably need a good grease of margarine so that the eggs come out whole. Collect from either Summertown or Kidlington.
