Request: Yesterday’s copy of THE TIMES (Monday 20th May) (Marchmont EH9) Expired There was an article in yesterday’s TIMES that I’d really like to read. But I missed out on it. & of course, unlike other newspapers who let you read a few articles online (& thus encourage brand loyalty in my view) The Times doesn’t let you read it at all unless you pay for it. If you have a copy from Monday I’d love to hop on my bike & collect it! Cheers a million! Marchmont Dave

Free: large ikea hamster housing / cage / crate (Marchmont EH9) Expired LARGE IKEA HAMSTER HOUSING / CAGE / CRATE TO GIVE AWAY I have a luxurious hamster home that has been made out of a large Ikea crate. It gave my son’s hamster Biscuits an amazing environment to roam, explore, exercise and play in. We’d now like to donate it to a hamster owner who will appreciate it and who can creatively make use of the playthings, different levels, ladders and separate spaces (cardboard boxes are wonderful things!) It would preferably suit a larger Syrian hamster (rather than a smaller Dwarf hamster; unless there are quite a few living together). There is currently an additional standard cage on the top. This could be removed ~ or kept in place with cable ties. It gave Biscuits an additional play area that was also used as a food station. We built a sturdy cardboard ladder for him to reach it which gave him physical & mental exercise! 🐹 Sizes: Length: 30 inches Width: 22 inches Depth: 16 inches (without top cage) You would also be welcome to take various hamster playthings & paraphernalia ~ eg toys, tubes, rolling ball 🐹 As it was lovingly created we ideally want them to go to a deserving home, where it will be well used. Please feel free to DM me. Pickup from Marchmont appreciated & preferred. Tho’ I can deliver if particularly tricky. Cheers ~ Dave

Request: Size 12 roller skates / blades (Marchmont EH9) Expired I began trying roller skating recently hitting my 50’s (yeah, I know; it can be done & I’m sure I don’t look at all embarrassing) & loved it enough to wanna take it further.

Request: Large plant pot (Marchmont EH9) Expired I’ve a large-ish plant that I’ve recently repotted into a larger pot (20cm across) but I’m not sure even that is large enough, as it’s currently struggling ~ not enough root room? Would anyone out there have a pot that’s at least 25-30cm wide? 🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴 V happy to drive / cycle to pick up. Cheers a million 🪴 ~ Dave

Request: Detail / mouse sander (Marchmont EH9) Expired I’m looking to sand down some window sills (& possible a mutual front door) to fill & repaint, so am wondering if anyone out there has one of those small handheld sanders that fit snugly in the palm… the type that take triangular (Velcro?) sanding sheets.

Free: Coat hangers (Marchmont EH9) Gifted I’m not sure if coat hangers / coathangers is one word or two, but I have a bag of around 20 to pass on. Charity shops aren’t interested as they all now seem to have a uniform house style… while my bag is a mish-mash of types. Collection from Marchmont preferred; altho of a location is easy enough to reach for me I can drop off. Cheers!

Free: Floor-to-ceiling punchball / boxing ball (Marchmont EH9) Gifted Not quite sure what this is called exactly but it’s held between two lengths of thick elastic rope (with clips on the end) for boxing / martial arts practice. One end of one side of the rope/ elastic has lost its clip but with some dexterous problem solving it can still be set up to work. Pick-up preferred from Marchmont; tho can deliver if it’s on a route I take. Cheers! Dave
