Request:
Clean bubble wrap (Monks Hill CR2)
Does anyone have some clean bubble wrap? I will happily take it rather than your throwing it away, but I don't want to travel out too far. (I am in the Selsdon area.) So let me know where you are please. I will do my best to fit into your schedule if you let me know when you would like me to come and pick it up. Thank you very much!

Vileda squeezy floor mop refill (Monks Hill CR2)
Expired
This is for on of those floor mops that you push the handle piece down and it squeezes the sponge. I have given up on these, I just bought a second one and couldn’t get it to work so I have returned it, but I have a spare refill if it’s of use to you. A bit dusty but essentially unused. If you want the stick too, you can take it but I think the internal mechanism is broken, maybe a spring gone? Well, I couldn’t get it to work anyway but maybe you can? You can collect Sunday if you would please give me a time. If you contact me tonight, you will get a reply tomorrow morning (Sunday) because I’m powering down now. Thank you.

Last year’s Week To View small diary, unused (Monks Hill CR2)
Expired
Does anybody want this? I bought it for 2024 but never used it. Could it be handy as a little notebook, for kids to scribble ink or for an art project? Seems sad to throw it away! £1 coin is for scale , NOT included in the giveaway!

2 plain white tiles 6ins square (Monks Hill CR2)
Expired
I still have these, I would like someone to have them! The handicraft clearout continues: I was using these plain white tiles to paint on and I have unearthed 2 spare ones. Let me know if they are of use, I don’t want to throw good stuff away but I have to do some clearing! I am in the Monks Hill area and could feasibly leave these out in a small, clean retail bag, as they shouldn’t be affected by the bad weather. But we can liaise about collection if this is of interest. I have just re-posted this, as I still have them. I am not going to get round to doing any handicraft work myself until the weather gets warmer, so let me know if you would like them!

Very old guitar tuner - spares/project? + mini dv cassette (Monks Hill CR2)
Gifted
A couple of items from an ongoing clearout in case there are any tinkerers/enthusiasts or even artists who would like these before they go to landfill. The guitar tuner is very old, I can’t get the back open, so I really don’t know what it’s like inside, but maybe you can do something with it. The mini digital videocassette is still sealed up but must be ancient! But you might have a use for it! I prefer these to be collected together, but please let me know what you think. Thank you.

Booklet of clear pockets for cards, craft components etc. (Monks Hill CR2)
Expired
This is a display book with lots of clear pockets suitable to protect a card or photo 5” x 7”. The leaves are in great condition, the outer cover needs some repair, maybe reinforce with some fancy tape or whatever. Pasting ribbons works well and makes it pretty! This little album is too good to throw away, I was using it to display my greetings cards but I no longer need it. If you do crafts, you can surely do it up and use to store your papercraft bits or of course, photos and cards. Please let me know if you would like it and when you could collect. Thank you.

Candles/Glass candle jars, for use and upcycling (Monks Hill CR2)
Gifted
I want these to go to someone who actually has an interest in re-purposing candles. I used to do it myself and I know there was someone on here who did it. You can clean out empty the holders and re-make or re-use. Or you can put tea lights in them! One of these is brand new and unused (little jasmine one, still sealed) and one has been used a little bit (I didn’t like the perfume.) Please tell me why you want these: if you cherry-pick or take and then throw the used stuff away, just because you want a freebie, you’re out of luck. They must all go at once to a genuine upcycler, otherwise I will just keep them. Thank you. Please be polite and reliable, tell me when you could collect.

Ring binder, folder, document storage etc. All VGC (Monks Hill CR2)
Expired
Here are some items for storing documents, all hardly or never used. They have been stored, but in very good condition. I kept them, knowing I will use them one day but quite frankly, if the need comes up in future, I’ll go out and buy another one. I need to get these cleared and they must all go in one lot, so please only ask for them if you will genuinely use them all. Let me know when you can pick them up and PLEASE be reliable! Thank you.

Handbag mirror or old handbag to break up for little mirror (Monks Hill CR2)
Received
I need a small mirror, the type you would find incorporated in a handbag, or even an old, beaten up handbag that I could break up to take out the mirror. Or possibly an old makeup palette, or even a compact, where I can remove a mirror. This is for a restoration project. Thank you

Bathroom mat (Monks Hill CR2)
Expired
Plenty of life left in this but I no longer need it. Would someone like to take it before I end up throwing it away? It would benefit from a clean, I believe it’s machine washable. Or could be useful for the garden to suppress weeds? Let me know when you can collect. Thank you.

Childproof locking strap for cupboard, fridge etc. (Monks Hill CR2)
Expired
Clearing out a drawer, does anyone want this before I throw it away? I bought a pack of them years ago, didn’t use this last one. This has been stored for a long time and a little dingy on top, will probably clean up. The adhesive pads are covered and may be still good - the ones I have used are very strong. I actually got them to stop my cats opening the fridge and cupboards! Great for safety if there are children around, though. Let me know when you could collect. Thank you.

2 collectable liqueur bottles, 1 full violet liqueur (Monks Hill CR2)
Gifted
These are decorative bottles which are liked by collectors are used for home decor. The rose one needs cleaning out (although I kept it as it is, because it’s pretty, but the drink inside is now not for consumption.) The violet liqueur (“Violette”) has never been opened and should be usable if desired, I kept it like that, because again it’s decorative as is. I understand that the liqueur can also be used to add to cakes, I have never tried as I’m hopeless at baking. Anyway, I just need to clear stuff, so would somebody like these? 19cm and 16cm high. A 500ml bottle of water is shown next to them, just for scale - not included! Please let me know when you could collect, not late evening, please. NB: As this is an alcohol product, please confirm that you are over 18 in your reply. Thank you.

Cat litter (clay) - bag 2 thirds full (Monks Hill CR2)
Gifted
Does anybody want this bag of cat litter? These are clay granules, I bought this for a different project (not cat related!) and don’t need the rest. Seems stupid to waste it, so please collect if of use to you. All I ask is that you stick to any arrangement to collect. Please, not late evening and not Wednesday. Let me know a day and time.

Sweet set of 3 small nesting boxes. 12cm cube (Monks Hill CR2)
Gifted
This is a little set of cubic storage (or gift?) boxes in black and black and white. The largest one is about 12cm cubed and the other two fit inside. They each have a modernistic decorative feature, like a round “washer” on top. The big one is very slightly age-darkened inside but they look good and are strongly built, so quite substantial. I once used them for displays, but they have been stored for some time and I need to make space now. Please let me know when you could collect. (Not late evening or weekend, thanks.)

Large bag of packing chips (Monks Hill CR2)
Gifted
I do use these occasionally, but I have enough and have suddenly unearthed a whole big bag more! So if you pack and send stuff, or need them for moving, please collect! If you have a mobile, it’s useful to have the number so that we can liaise by text (I will delete the number afterwards). Or contact me here, please let me know when you can collect. Thank you.

Black storage box with lid and large plastic crate, no lid. (Monks Hill CR2)
Expired
A small black plastic storage box with lid, it came from Ikea but not needed. Needs a clean, but nothing at all wrong with it, very useful item. The larger box, also from Ikea, does not have its lid but is useful for tidying items like toys, etc. - or even for moving. I prefer if they are collected together. Let me know when you could collect, my own time is limited so let’s arrange something. Please be reliable and if you have a mobile number, it’s useful to have, so we can liaise. (I won’t keep the number.) Thank you.

Body Shop Eau de Toilette spray, one left (Monks Hill CR2)
Expired
Old and the fragrance weaker than originally, but still pretty good! I have one left to offer (Javari): the writing is coming off the bottle. Still fragrant, even though not as strong as the perfume was originally. I would describe it as light and citrussy, with a powdery and slightly leathery dry down, but obviously weakened because it is old. The writing and decoration on the bottle is flaking off. It has a spray mechanism with a protective cap. I would keep it and use it but I don’t like the perfume anyway (maybe these belonged to someone else, I don’t know!). Unearthed after a clear out but before I throw this away, maybe you would like it? Please give me a day and time that you could collect and if you have a mobile number so we can text, even better. I need them gone soon, as my own time is limited. Thank you.

Trivet or some sort of hot plate stand (Monks Hill CR2)
Expired
I kept meaning to repaint the top surface and use it to display for some decorative items, but I haven’t got round to that yet. Can you use it? It measures 14.5 inches diameter. The top is metallic but worn or tarnished, but should be protective. It’s on small raised feet. Please let me know when you could collect from Monks Hill. (Not late evening.) Thanks.

Toilet mobility aid combined seat and frame (Monks Hill CR2)
Expired
Not needed, so is there someone who would appreciate this? I have cleaned it with antibacterial cleaner, there is a little staining underneath which is due to limescale only. The plastic seat is also replaceable, and the frame is good. This must be of use to someone! Please let me know if you would like to collect, as my own time is limited. Please be reliable and please converse! (If after messaging, you decide you’re not interested, PLEASE let me know, as I am fed up with people saying they want something and then nothing else happens!) Thank you!

Chilli plant seed sticks from Wahaca (Monks Hill CR2)
Expired
These are little sticks that come in a book of 5 (like book matches). Each stick holds one seed that you stick in a pot to grow a chilli plant. This book of seeds was given to me during a visit to Wahaca (Mexican restaurant) but it was quite some time ago, so I don’t know if they’re still viable. You could try, as they are just sitting here doing nothing, I can’t easily get pots and compost at this time, so would someone like them? Please contact me so we can liaise on a time and date. Thank you!

Olay Vanilla Cashmere Shave Cream (Monks Hill CR2)
Expired
I am having a clearout. There's quite a lot left in here, so hopefully someone can use it. Please let me know if you could collect tomorrow and give me a time. (Not in the evening) Can't do the weekend and I will need to be able to hand this over in person. Thank you.

Hair products (Monks Hill CR2)
Expired
I am having a clearout and an offering these two haircare products, which I hardly ever use. I would prefer them to be collected together, so if you can't use one, perhaps you can pass it on to someone? I don't have a lot of time to be there to hand over but I want someone to be able to use them. As the dry shampoo is classed as a solvent, I must make sure this is handed over in person, to an adult. The dry shampoo is quite old, but there is still some in there. It's not just useful for reviving lank locks but can be sprayed into smelly or sweaty trainers, to refresh them, and also lifts greasy stains off the carpet! The styling cream is good quality, was expensive, and there is a lot left in there. I use it so rarely that you might prefer to have it now. Tomorrow would be a good day to collect (not in the evening) and not at the weekend. Let me know.

Mr Muscle Oven Cleaner (Monks Hill CR2)
Gifted
I am clearing a kitchen cupboard and I would like to offer this before I throw it away. It seems to have contents although I’m not sure how it opens - maybe you have to break the seal? And I honestly don’t know how old it is, but you could give it a try if it would be of use to you. I am not using an oven so this is surplus. However, if you want this you MUST confirm to me that you’re over 18, as it is marked as a chemical. Please let me know when you could collect, you can have the furniture polish too, if of use. (Listed separately.) Thank you.

Round curtain rings, one 1 or 2 (for project) (Monks Hill CR2)
Expired
Does anyone have a couple of round curtain rings (the kind that fit on a pole) that I could have please? I don't mind what material or colour although (wood preferred) and it doesn't matter if the hooks are missing, because I want them for something else (not hanging curtains!).Thank you!

Large squat torch - needs batteries (Monks Hill CR2)
Gifted
Would anyone like this? I don’t know if it works, but if it does, it’s a good torch. 6ins high, with a handle and about 3.5ins diameter. It needs hefty batteries but you might know enough to be able to test it first, before obtaining them to see if it works. It was definitely working last time I used it but it’s just been sitting here, so sorry, no idea! Please let me know when you could collect and if you have a mobile number, please let me have it so we can text. I will delete your number afterwards, for your privacy. This looks too good to just throw it away, so I would like it to have a chance!

Little bendy USB light for laptop etc. (Monks Hill CR2)
Gifted
This is a mini light on a silver, bendy stem and it plugs into the side of a laptop or into a plug with a slot for USB. It’s quite a tiny light, it works fine but I never use it, so if you want it, please let me know when you could collect. I am in the Monks Hill area. Please be reliable, I am being let down quite a lot or people do not keep up with dialogue. Thank you!

A short length of foam pipe insulation, clean, unused. (Monks Hill CR2)
Expired
I bought some of this foam pipe insulation for a project (nothing to do with pipes!) and I have a little bit left, clean and unused. It’s 4.5cm diameter and 3cm internal diameter and has a fine split so it’s easy to wrap around the pipe. I have a piece 56cm long and maybe someone could make use of it. If you want it please say when you could collect and give me a mobile number for text liaison if you have one. I can’t leave it outside, it will blow away, so I would like you to visit and be reliable please! Thanks, I am in the Monks Hill area.
