Free: Crimp splice connectors (Iffley Road OX4) Promised For car wiring or what have you - basically you put two ends of cut wire in it, then use a pair of pliers to close the connector. This drives a metal bridge through the plastic sheathing and electrically connects the two wires, so there's no need to strip or solder the wires. Comes in three sizes for different gauges of wire.

Free: Crimper / wire strippers (Iffley Road OX4) Promised They're a bit stiff, and the rubber handles are a little loose - could do with a dab of glue to hold them on, maybe

Free: IBM PS/2 keyboard (Iffley Road OX4) Withdrawn Note the purple connector. This is not a USB keyboard, it uses the PS/2 connector which was common until about 2010. So possibly not useful to many people, but I'll see if anyone wants it before it goes to e-waste. It's a rubber dome keyboard but with full travel. Decent to type on. Has adjustable feet.

Free: Blue Kuhn-Rikon oven dish thing (Iffley Road OX4) Gifted Only used a few times but accidentally broke the handle. The broken handle is included but I'm not sure there's a good way to reattach it. I don't think you can get a glue or resin that'll survive 200°C but maybe there's some other way. or you could just ignore the handles!

Free: Floral blackout curtains (Iffley Road OX4) Gifted John Lewis blackout curtains, white/off-white with a multicolour pastel floral pattern. 1.55m wide and 1.75m tall (each). I suppose they would cover a 2.5m by 1.5m window or something like that. There are some marks on them, but mostly on the back. Overall OK condition I think.

Free: knee brace (Oxford OX4) Gifted Elastoplast fabric/velcro knee support thing. Clean and in good condition. I've just given it a wash. Was very helpful when I injured my knee last year. Do you know anyone with a bad knee at the moment who might benefit? :)

Free: wooden curtain rings (Oxford OX4) Gifted these are slightly inconsistent (some a bit flatter, some lighter/darker but these are wood after all)

Free: Small-ish cardboard moving boxes (Oxford OX4) Gifted I think most of them are the same size (about 30 x 45 x 25 cm) but a few are slightly bigger. A filled box pictured as an example but they're all flattened for collection.

Free: Particle board (Oxford OX4) Expired this came in some furniture packaging - before I cut it up and put it in the bin, is it of any use to anyone? I heard that people sometimes paint on these. one big board, two small strips. can measure if needed.

Free: "Da Bomb: Beyond Insanity" hot sauce (Oxford OX4) Gifted unopened. I can't see any dates on the bottle but it's at least 5 years old. does something like this even go off? I can't handle spice like I used to and I heard that this sauce is not only excruciatingly hot but that it tastes bad as well. but maybe you're a masochist or want to use it to keep slugs away or something? :^)

98d

Free: Cardboard (Oxford OX4) Expired big bits of cardboard from a furniture box, maybe it's useful to someone with an allotment or something?
