HP Photosmart C4380 printer (needs fixing) (Allerton L18)
Withdrawn
This printer was working well until recently, but now the print is too faint to read (and it prints in blue, when black and white is selected). It looks to me as thought the print heads need cleaning, but the “clean print heads” option is greyed out. I’ve changed the ink cartridges recently, so I don’t think it’s a low ink problem. The printer is not usable in its current state, but if you want to have a go at cleaning the print heads manually, you know what the problem is and how to fix it, or you’d like it for spare parts, then it might be the printer for you.

Thinsulate heated gloves (Allerton L18)
Withdrawn
A pair of medium, Thinsulate, battery heated gloves. They’ve only been worn a couple of times. Each glove has a pouch to hold a battery. The negative end of the battery sits on a spring at the bottom of the pouch (circled in red), the positive end of the battery clips into the “button” on the flap of the pouch. I’m not sure what size battery they use, but it needs to be one where the positive end of the battery fits into the “button” on the glove pouch.

Water butt connector kit (Allerton L18)

This kit is complete and unused, though the packaging is dusty as it's been in the shed. It enables you to connect two water butts together, so if one water butt is full, then it overflows into the second water butt.

Bare rooted hyacinth bulbs (Allerton L18)
Gifted
Bare rooted hyacinth bulbs. They didn’t all flower this year and as they are quite old, the ones that did had small flowers (more like bluebells than hyacinths). Some of the bulbs are probably too small to flower. Most are blue, one is pink and I think three are white.

Gifted
Bare rooted mint (I think it's apple mint). It's got a very good root system and is just beginning to sprout. It's not in a pot, so you'll need a pot, or a patch of ground to plant it in. (A pot is better, as mint can be quite invasive).

Lengths of wood, (2 inches by one inch) (Allerton L18)
Gifted
Wood left by roofers. It needs to go altogether and by the end of the weekend please. Three pieces approximately 2 inches, by 1 inch, by 12 feet 6 inches Three pieces approximately 2 inches, by 1 inch, by 27 inches Three pieces approximately 2 inches, by 1 inch, by 24 inches The wood is solid and "new", but a bit splintered and chipped in some places where it's been sawed. It's been outside for a few days, so is slightly muddy. All the wood, except one of the long pieces, has some screw holes in it. I'll unscrew the wood, so it's easier to transport.

Wax melting pot for batik, wax & tools (Allerton L18)
Gifted
Batik craft supplies. This includes An electric pot to melt the wax Three cantings/tjantings (to apply the wax) Three bags of wax pellets (two unopened, one opened) Instructions Although the melting pot is quite old (more than 15 years) and has been used before, it’s in good condition. It was working last time I tried it, which was some time ago, but I’ve no reason to think it’s stopped working. There’s solidified wax in the melting pot, which can be used. The cantings/tjantings are currently embedded in it, but once you turn the machine on and the wax melts, they’ll be freed.
