Free: Children's Sheep Mat (Balerno EH14) Withdrawn 14d - Approx 120 x 66, front in good condition, but the back has started to crumble in places. Collection from Balerno by Monday.

Free: Dark Pink Paint (Balerno EH14) Withdrawn 18d - One part can of Valspar emulsion; Party Pattie (a dark pinkie red). Bought in 2016 and when I checked, although the colour has settled, a good mixing would bring them back to useable. There's probably enough to do 4 square metres. Collect from Balerno.

Free: Mid Blue Gloss Paint (Balerno EH14) Withdrawn 18d - One part can of Crown Solo gloss; Windsor Blue. When I checked, although the top had skinned over, there was about a quarter left. There's probably enough to do 2 square metres. Collect from Balerno.

Free: Argos Crockery (Balerno EH14) Gifted 18d - Creamish and bought from Argos about 15 years ago. 2 dinner plates, 5 side plates, 6 bowls, 1 serving dish If anyone wants them, collection from Balerno.

Free: Sainsbury's Crockery (Balerno EH14) Gifted 36d - White with a dark blue border. Bought from Sainsbury's about 10 years ago. 6 dinner plates, 2 side plates, 6 bowls. If anyone wants them, collection from Balerno.

Free: Plastic Trolley (Balerno EH14) Gifted 53d - Plastic trolley looking for a new home. Over the years we've had it we've used it to store veg in a pantry, hold paperwork in an office and keep toys tidy in a playroom. Still in reasonable condition so seems sad to landfill it. Collection from Balerno.

Free: Baby gym mat (Balerno EH14) Withdrawn 67d - We've a baby gym thing to dispose of. Mat, arch, dangly toys. Perhaps 6 years old but been sitting in a box for most of that. If you'd like it, let me know else it's landfill at the weekend. Request: Imperial Black Bricks (Balerno EH14) Expired 238d - Long shot but I'm looking for a few bricks to repair a wall. Naturally, they don't make them any more as they are the old imperial size rather than the modern metric which are smaller. Ideally the type I'm after are Swarland Brick Body Stained Black Sandfaced (73x215x102) and their modern equivalent seems to be Midland Brick Godiva Multi Sandfaced Facing Brick 73mm. However, I'm only after about 10, not a pallet which looks to be the minimum order quantity. Broadly they are red clay bricks that have been dipped in black sand. If you have anything suitable, please get in touch. Free: Vintage IBM Laptop Bag (Balerno EH14) Gifted 341d - Laptop bag, infrequently used even when I had the laptop. Now "vintage" as IBM stopped making laptops years ago. Lots or compartments. Approx 38 x 30 x 15.

Free: Leftover Paint (Balerno EH14) Gifted 349d - Two part cans of Valspar emulsion; Party Pattie (a dark red) and Woodland Wildflower (white with a hint of pastel pink). Bought in 2016 and when I checked, although the colour has settled, a good mixing would bring them back to useable. There's probably enough to do 4 square metres in both. Collect from Balerno.

Request: Circuit Breakers and RCDs (Balerno EH14) Expired 364d - I'm organising a project for a secondary school and I'm after working circuit breakers and RCDs similar to the ones in the picture. Long shot, but if anyone has any from perhaps an upgrade, please let me know. Any brand or age.

Free: King Size Bed Frame (Balerno EH14) Gifted 1y - The good news: Sturdy 5' king size bed frame free to anyone who wants it. A few minor nicks and dents if you look hard enough. The bad news: Three of the slats will need replaced with some pine approx 17mm x 70mm. Dimensions aren't critical, just need to be long enough. The frame is dismantled and ready to go. The headboard is approx 1.65m x 1.15m so will need a big boot, a roof rack or a van to transport. Collection from Balerno.
