Free: SP50+ Sun protection cream (Weston-super-Mare BS23) Promised Very high protection suncream bought from Aldi. The tube has been opened but the small print states that it is a: "Tinted make-up primer suitable for all skin tones", but it's a bit dark for my skin tone so only tried it for a couple of days and the tube is still almost full.

Free: BT Twin Telephone (Weston-super-Mare BS23) Gifted Black and Silver BT4600 Premium Nuisance Call Blocker Big Button Cordless Phone with Answer Machine. It's in almost as new condition but the “hands-off/loudspeaker” button doesn't function and, if used, seems to cut out the phone. Also the volume control doesn't seem to be fully functioning. Maybe there's someone out there who could fix this. We'd probably carry on living with it but with one of us having become quite deaf, it no longer meets our needs.
