Request: Various Things (Granton EH5) Withdrawn 72d - Desperately looking for a classy, thin sideboard/sideboard for our hallway. Did have a cat and shalf storage unit from Temu but unfortunately it's falling to pieces. We have a rather small small flat but a rather big collection of things needing to be put stored in the hall. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated. Any style or colour considered as I'm a dab hand at furniture upcycling. Also all the lookout for a tall(is) kitchen stool to make my life easier when it comes to meal prepping and doing the dishes as my chronic health conditions are making standing for long periods of time more of a painful chore as each day that passes than it. Also on the looking for any nice bold wallpaper for the hallway. Any offers would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Request: Sublimation Machine (Heat Press For Transfers) (Granton EH5) Expired 147d - If anyone has an old sublimation machine lying around and gathering dust then I’d gladly accept it! For those unaware of what it is, it’s basically a heat press for transferring printed images onto clothes. I have a chronic health condition which means I’m in my house almost 24/7 so arts and crafts are all I really have. 🌝 Free: Cat scratcher board and rope ball (Granton EH5) Gifted 162d - I was given this for my cat but she has shown zero interest in it. Our home is really tiny so hopefully one of you will take it out of here for your cat to actually use!

Request: Working printer (with scanner ideally) (Granton EH5) Expired 184d - Long story short, I am in poor health (recently officially classed as having a disability after years of ill health and tests.) I don’t get out the house much but love arts and crafts, like printing models to build to keep me occupied. I have been given 2 from here in the past but both ended up just being completely broken. Unfortunately I don’t have the funds to buy a new one. If anyone is getting rid of one in working order then please contact me. Thanks for taking the time to read this 😊 Request: Cat Scratch Post (Granton EH5) Expired 193d - In need of a cat scratch post for our beautiful little lady. She was a rescue and came to us with injured paws which meant her nails couldn’t be cut for a good wee while, therefore her scratch post got trashed in the interim. Just discovered she’s been using the side of a bed- the side closest to the window so I never saw it until I started finding foam everywhere 😂 I have a health condition that makes each day so unpredictable so if anyone does have one to give away, it may take me some time to actually come and collect it (I apologise in advance.)

Request: Mens Clothes (Granton EH5) Expired 208d - This is really embarrassing to even ask but I’m in need of clothes. Due to healthcare conditions, my weight fluctuates between sizes and being on such a low income, buying clothes is nigh on impossible- I can only really wear joggers/tracksuit bottoms with elasticated waists (I have gastrointestinal disorders.) I need bigger size tops to cover up my tummy. I tend to wear oversized jogging bottoms and hoodies to cover up the state I’ve found myself in. My health has really affected my wellbeing- I only go to Drs appointments, hospital appointments and psychology once a week. Any help would be serious may appreciated. Request: Tub Chair (Granton EH5) Expired 267d - Looking for a tub chair in which I will reupholster so appearance doesn’t matter all that much. I’ve recently been lucky enough to have built an art workspace in my home and die to bad health I can’t sit on standard office chairs for too long without developing pain. I’ve attached some photos of tub chairs as a kind of guide to show what style of chair is best suited to me needs. Thank you for reading.

Free: 2 Pink Paper Christmas Trees (Granton EH5) Expired 272d - Does anybody want these, completely free of charge? Got them from B&M for £5, the box showed them as a more muted and neutral pink- never thought they would be THIS pink! I used sticky tape at the back to keep them open as the provided paper clips were useless. They have gold glitter edging on them. We absolutely hate them for US as they don’t match our colour scheme but would love to give them to someone that can appreciate them🎄❤️ Pick up only from EH5, asap too, tonight preferably. Bring a couple carrier bags to put them in.

Request: Desk Chair (Granton EH5) Expired 275d - Will be spending a lot of time at my new desk with my new technology (hoping to start a specialist business) so I’m in desperate need of a chair- not too keen on standard swivel chairs as they can be uncomfortable on my body (I have complex health issues.) I would even consider a smaller arm chair. Preferably darker colours (greys, black, mustard etc.) Thanks for reading and Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones! Free: 2 black floating shelves (Granton EH5) Gifted 280d - 2 black floating shelves Length 43.5 inches/110cm Depth 10.5. inches/26.5cm Thickness 2 inches/5.5cm Need these gone ASAP Have to collect yoursel

Request: Copper Spray Paint (Granton EH5) Expired 280d - In need of a little copper spray paint. If any had any lying around not going to use then that would be brilliant. The job I need it for doesn’t warrant the purchase of an entire can unfortunately. Thanks for reading 🌞 Request: Gold Christmas Decorations (Granton EH5) Received 290d - Want to have a beautiful Christmas in our own house after homelessness. Been gifted a tree so we’re good for that, just searching for gold decorations of any type- for tree, ornaments etc. Thanks for reading. Request: Gold Christmas Tree Decorations (Granton EH5) Expired 293d - First Christmas in new home after few years of homelessness. Someone was amazing enough to get us a beautiful almost 7ft Christmas tree. Now just needing gold and blue decorations for it. If anyone has any spare that they can part with then that would be incredible! Request: Cat Climbing Tree (Granton EH5) Expired 295d - We recently adopted a beautiful cat after her owner passed away. Looking for a cat climbing tree as she loves to climb and explore everywhere but our house is pretty boring so I can’t imagine she’s having that much fun. If anyone has one they no longer need or know of someone getting rid of one, please get in touch. They are pretty pricey and the cost of living crisis hasn’t helped one bit. Free: Dog Print (frame not included) (Granton EH5) Expired 301d - Appears to be a hand made picture of a dog and is mounted on a white board frame so altogether the size is 28cm x 38cm/11in x the 15in. Was given to us as decor when we got our house but we’re kinda cat people rather than dog people! Ignore the bright light on the picture as that’s just the flash from the camera. Print only as the frame is getting a picture of my cat in it instead!

Request: Desk (Granton EH5) Expired 304d - Looking for a desk as I intend to potentially start a crafting business from home and need a space for my machinery. Request: Tablet Device (Granton EH5) Expired 305d - My Samsung Tablet- my lifeline to the outside world whilst I’m so unwell- has completely stopped working. I had it for 8 years so apparently it lasted longer than most do but I’m absolutely lost without it. Having to write this from my other half’s phone. Does anybody have a tablet, not matter how old, basic etc that they would be able to give away to me? I know it’s a large ask but I am so upset that the one thing that kept me sane at medical appointments etc has finally broken. Free: Authentic Dead Sea Body Scrub (Granton EH5) Gifted 309d - Still absolutely sealed- B&M had them priced at nearly a tenner but they reduced them to just 10p each! As someone that has actually been in the Dead Sea and felt the benefits of the natural salts on my skin, I can fully attest that you get pretty much the same feeling and fresh afterglow. 600g jar. If you want it you would preferably have to come and collect it from me as I don’t go out much coz of my ill health. Product was made in Israel.

Request: Artificial Plants (Granton EH5) Expired 309d - Any kinds, any size, any style. I’m unable to keep plants alive for some reason- I water them, feed them the specific plant foods they need and make sure they’re getting sunlight but nothing helps and they just die on me (this curse apparently affects my entire family!) So I’m on the lookout for fake foliage- that at least I know there’s no possibility of them dying! Request: Christmas Decorations (Granton EH5) Expired 310d - Hello everybody. Was just wondering if anybody has any nice Christmas decorations they no longer want or need. Will be our first Christmas in our home after being homeless for over 2 years. Want to make it as festive as possible as we went through the most awful time when homeless and therefore haven’t ’done’ Christmas in 3 years! Any donations would be going to an extremely grateful household! I know beggars can’t be choosers but we ideally would like any gold and or blues as that’s our living room colour scheme! So far I have been lucky enough to have found a perfect tree. Request: Christmas Decorations (Granton EH5) Expired 313d - Due to financial difficulties due to not working as a result of a health conditions. This will be our first Christmas in our new home after a 2 year spell of homelessness. Unfortunately we lost a lot of our belongings whilst we were homeless, including all our beautiful Christmas stuff. I’m hoping someone out there has a tall Christmas tree (6ft plus) Also looking for any tree decorations (blues and golds preferably. Would be grateful for any other Christmas decor and bits and bobs to make our home nice and festive. Really wanting to give us a lovely Christmas after a hell of a year. Hopefully hear from some people, thanks ever so much for reading Request: 'Monopoly' Board Game- Any Editions Welcome! (Granton EH5) Expired 1y - Now my ill health is keeping me indoors more and more much to my chagrin, I thought it would be a great way to pass the time with my partner by playing the good old game of Monopoly! Due to the nature of my health condition, I am unable to go out for too long or too far away from home (without going into specifics.) Any editions welcome, as is any condition (as long as it's not falling to pieces of course!) Thank you for reading, much appreciated! Request: Cat Climbing Tree (Granton EH5) Expired 1y - We recently adopted an 8 year old cat from a carer after her previous owner passed away. She's a shy little lady but can tell she's got a lot of energy to burn off. Looking for a cat tree, im relatively good condition, so she can look out the windows (our windowsills are too shallow for her to sit.) This would be really appreciated as we want to give her the best rest of her life but we are unable to financially do it due to ill health. Free: Interactive Cat Toy And Cat Collar (Granton EH5) Gifted 1y - Cat toy sticks on hard surfaces and cat can spin it around- one ball has a bell in it and the other a flashing light. Bought it brand new for our cat but she is not interested whatsoever. Also up for grabs is a cat collar, pink leopard print type design with a bell. Take one, take both, whatever. Pick up only or can meet very locally (health issues prevent me going too far from home!) ( Small bag of cat treats would be much appreciated but of couse is absolutely NOT compulsory!)

Free: Wooden Letter Holder (Granton EH5) Gifted 1y - Wooden letter holder that says the word 'POST.' Guess it's to remind you to send the letters in it. Pick-up only.

Free: Russell Hobbs Donut Maker (Granton EH5) Expired 1y - Got from gumtree a while ago and never even used the thing. Been in cupboard ever since. Would (obviously) need a good clean before use but seems like it would be a fun thing to do for parties etc. Box in pretty bad shape but machine itself is fine after a good scrub. Pick-up only.

Free: ASDA Cupcake Maker (Granton EH5) Expired 1y - Got from gumtree many moons ago and only ever used once. Been in cupboard ever since. Would (obviously) need a good clean before use but seems like it would be a fun thing to do for parties etc. Still in original box which is pretty bad condition but item itself is fine. Pick-up only.

Request: Holocaust Books (Granton EH5) Expired 1y - I spent so much time that I was practically raised by my grandmother who herself was a concentration camp survivor and I've read a few books written by other survivors. 2023 marks the 20th anniversary of her passing and I'm feeling as though the older I get, the more stories and first hand accounts I wamt to hear. Would love to read some more if anyone had some they were getting rid of. I know there is a lot of accounts online but nothing beats an actual physical book. Request: Large Clear Perspex Boxes/Large Pieces of Clear Perspex (Granton EH5) Expired 1y - Looking for clear perspex boxes in which to store my lego models. Or larger pieces of clear perspex in which I can somehow fashion a case of sorts. I was gifted the F.R.I.E.N.D.S TV show Lego sets and they get dusty so easy. Any help would be much appreciated. Free: Handmade Incense Cones & Burner Dish (Granton EH5) Gifted 1y - Was gifted to me by a friend when I went to the Middle East a few years ago. Handmade item and really quite cute. Unfortunately, I absolutely cannot stand the smell of incense anymore, nor does my cat (boss of the house so when she makes it clear something has to go...it goes!) Pick-up only.
