Request: 20-40mm PVC/plastic pipe offcuts (North Colchester, CO4) Withdrawn Bit of a weird one... But for a project I just need a few cm (maybe 2x 10cm pieces) of rigid tube/pipe. I could buy 1/3 meters of the stuff and then have 90% of it left over... I even tried an aquatics shop who had roles of bendy tubes but they only do whole number of meters! So instead of all the waste I'm hoping someone on here is a tradie, or has messed about with plumbing or anything that involves tubes/pipes. The condition is fairly irrelevant, and I would love to collect at some point on Wednesday 28th, anywhere in or between Colchester and Ipswich. Thank you SO much in anticipation.

Free: Paint stuff (North Colchester, CO4) The fuzzy ones have never been used, we got them from a carboot and these were the ones we didn't end up using. The donut one is for corners

Request: Duplo base plate for SEN classroom (North Colchester, CO4) My partner teaches kids with special needs, and the SEN classroom has Duplo for them to play and learn with, but it doesn't have any bases for the Duplo to stand on (which is an issue due to reduced hand-eye coordination). Because they don't have any budget to purchase them, he asked me to see if anyone had any their kids have grown out of using or were otherwise lying around. I believe Lego baseplates are also compatible so these would also be appreciated Of course, happy to collect. Thank you for reading.

Request: Any aquarium equipment (North Colchester, CO4) Expired Hi folks, my little ones want to keep a tank of aquatic creatures (at least it's not a cat/dog/ferret/bird right 😅) but it's something we're starting from scratch on. I often see various bits of aquarium equipment on here, and I also know it can be verrrrry expensive buying everything first hand. So- do you have any old aquarium equipment lying around in your garage that hasn't been touched in years? (Even if it's old, or something random like aquarium gravel, anything would help!) I'd love to give it a second life if so. It's half term so can be really flexible with collection times. Thank you so much for reading!

Free: Double duvet (North Colchester, CO4) Gifted Giving away a black, 4.5 tog double, summer duvet I bought on Amazon for £26 last year. It was used for about 6 months (then I got a weighted blanket), and has sat in a cupboard since. Excellent condition, just want it to stay out of the landfill as duvets can't be donated to charity shops, and get it out of my hair.

Request: Short + thin curtain poles (North Colchester, CO4) Expired Hi folks, I am trying to organise my other half's keyring collection and I saw this wonderful idea online to put them on curtain poles and on the wall - but I can't find the kind of thing I'd need online! Does anyone have that kind of thing that they wouldn't miss? Thank you :)

Request: old terrarium (Felixtowe) Expired Hi all, my boy wants to keep a pet snail. Sigh. He found one and brought it home, and it is currently in a tupperware box. It really needs a proper enclosure, but the kind of thing we need is crazy expensive, especially for a garden pest. Examples of ideal tanks are reptile enclosure, closed up fish tank, insect box, that kind of thing. We would really appreciate it
