2 Small Vintage Travel Clocks (Parkstone, Poole, Dorset)
Gifted
Neither are currently working, but wondered if anyone was interested in them to fix. Both have a case, the one with the map of the world on is actually stuck in so that the case doubles up as a stand.

Small White Bathroom Cabinet (Parkstone, Poole, Dorset)

Probably painted MDF. Small, measures 66cm tall, 34cm wide, 25cm deep. Will need to be cleaned and there's some surface marks, perhaps upcycle project?

Ironing Board (Parkstone, Poole, Dorset)
Gifted
Has three height settings, in working order, but has been in the loft for ages so will need a dusting off!

Old 2-Step Ladder (Parkstone, Poole, Dorset)
Gifted
Have just invested in a new 3-Step one, so this is surplus to requirements! It is pretty old, but very sturdy and handy for reaching tops of cupboards etc. Has been used for decorating, so has paint on and is a bit rusty in places, but mechanisms still work and hopefully handy for someone.

Tall Narrow Bathroom Cabinet (Parkstone, Poole, Dorset)
Gifted
Used for a good few years, now surplus to requirements. Tall and narrow, measurements 170cm tall x 24cm wide x 28cm deep approx. Please note where the sun shone on it, there is discolouring on one side and top, shown in one of the images. Looks like the gloss surface bleached off and left a pale tan colour. Intact and usable, if you can 'hide' that side, I would say.

Pair of Safety Goggles (Parkstone, Poole, Dorset)

Quantity of MDF (Dismantled Desk) (Parkstone, Poole, Dorset)
Gifted
All prepared to take this to the tip next week, but thought I'd see if anyone can make use of any of the pieces of MDF. We've dismantled a huge old office desk, very strong old pieces, plus a heavy desk top around 150cm long and 75cm deep. Happy if you just want one or two pieces, would prefer that than going to landfill! Pick up before Tuesday if interested please.

Packaging Paper or Cardboard (Parkstone, Poole, Dorset)
Received
I have a few vinyl albums to send out and would like some paper or cardboard to give a bit of added protection. I guess even bubblewrap might do. If anyone has any spare, I would welcome it. Thank you very much.

Old Water Butt (Parkstone, Poole, Dorset)
Gifted
We've replaced our water butt as needed one with a stand, so this is available. It was an old fertiliser drum which was repainted, have used for more than 10 years, paint coming off. With tap and overflow holes at the top. Still holds water fine but as you can see not pleasing on the eye! Whilst we have drained it, you will need to clean it out inside.

Mixed Toiletries, Cosmetics (Parkstone, Poole, Dorset)
Gifted
Some travel shampoo, face toner, eye shadow, lipstick, blusher brush, exfoliant and a small toilet bag. Most not used, the toner has been. The make up is older, so perhaps don't consider if you are worried about skin reaction.

GBC DocuSeal Laminator (Parkstone, Poole, Dorset)
Gifted
This has been in our loft for ages so it's a bit dusty. Just plugged it in and the green light came on and it sounded as though it was working. Don't have any laminating pouches to test it though. Should be OK, only lightly used a few years ago.

TVP - Savoury Mince (Parkstone, Poole, Dorset)
Expired
Bought this dried textured vegetable protein just before Christmas. There's around 400g left as I only used one lot to do some batch cooking. We didn't really enjoy it, so we're sticking with chicken mince! Hope someone on here will have a better idea of how to use it successfully. In date until July 2025.

Mixed Single Earrings, Fasteners (Parkstone, Poole, Dorset)
Expired
There's 70+ earrings here, they are nearly all single ones, but there might be a couple of pairs - clip on, screw on and pierced. Also 3 little bags containing butterfly fasteners from vintage earrings and a few pierced studs (might find a matching pair or two in there too) - most of these will be vintage, some are broken, ideal for crafting or creating something new if you are creative (not like me!)

Large Cardboard Box for Shipping (BH12)
Received
I have approx. 7.5kg of items to ship and realise I don't have a box big enough! Just asking on the off chance that someone may have one spare please? Ideally fairly close to me at BH12 as I don't always have car access. Thank you.
