Free: Butane gas for travel stove (Shortstown MK42) Gifted Some surface rust. Turns out I have some new cans, so these won't get used. Would be a shame to have to empty them for the bin, so offering them up here in case anyone wants to use them for a summer camping trip.

Free: Battery powered makeup brush (Shortstown MK42) Expired Battery powered spinning brush with two interchangeable heads. It spins the head to help blend makeup. Hasn't been used as it was a gift but I don’t really wear makeup. Battery still works but will need changing eventually. Could be a fun gift for a kid who is still playing with the idea of makeup, or even for painting.

Free: Paddle board, NEEDS REPAIR (Shortstown MK42) Gifted I recieved an inflatable paddle board with manufacturing defects, 3 that I've found so far. It's a single layer beginners board and very cheap but they refunded me and left me with the board! As I have a new board, I no longer need this one but wonder if someone who has the kit might want this as a spare board? I can give you the matching colour repair patches but have no glue. It could be patched and checked over for any other marks and was essentially be a very low cost spare/beginner board. Please note this is the board and repair patches only. No accessories (paddle, pump, glue, bag etc).

Free: Acnecide (off brand) (Shortstown MK42) Gifted 4 tubes of benzoyl peroxide acne cream, over the counter stuff - I just bought this one because it’s cheaper. Runs out in March and I can’t use it in time so offering up here. Hasn’t been used/opened but these don’t come foil sealed which is why I’m more strict about following the expiry date! This is the same as acnecide and is used to disinfect and dry out spots. It bleaches clothing so please be careful - ideally use as a short contact treatment for 10 mins then wash it off in the shower thoroughly. Use old towels when applying/washing up hands after!

Request: Door measuring tool (Shortstown MK42) Expired Bit of a niche one but we are buying a house, trying to keep costs down. Does anyone have a tool like the pictured one that I can have in the next few weeks so we can measure and buy the correct new locks? Seems a waste to buy one brand new to use once
