Free: Buddleia (butterfly) bush, white flowers (Seafield EH7) Gifted 3d - Just dug up and needing a new home. Been in our garden for a number of years. We have pruned it down to about 80cm for removal but stems will regrow in spring. It will reach about 2 metres tall each year (and about as wide!) but can be cut back hard each winter. It is quite heavy and bulky! Roots wrapped in plastic for now but pick up asap.

Request: Concertina (Seafield EH7) 8d - I would like to learn the concertina but I have never tried one. I don't want to buy a nice instrument straight off in case i don't enjoy playing or I get the wrong one (I know there are different types). This is a very big ask, I know, but does anyone have one gathering dust that they would be willing to pass on? Free: Fabric remnants (Seafield EH7) Gifted 62d - Selection of fabric offcuts, various sizes, mostly small (less than 30cm). Different types of fabric inc polyester, cotton, lining, velvet etc. About a carrier bag's worth in total. Any use for craft projects?

Free: Picture frames x 2, no glass or back (Seafield EH7) Gifted 178d - 2 wooden picture frames. 30cm ruler in photo for scale. (I can provide measurements of wanted.) Some scratches, no glass, no backing. One has some decorative carving, see 2nd photo. Collection most afternoons or evenings, other times by arrangement.

Free: Door fittings (Seafield EH7) Gifted 231d - ** I have had number of responses so it's unlikely that any new replies will get this item. Sorry.** Yale lock with keys. Brass-look handle and knocker (modern, not antique). 2 hinges. Not new, came off a front door so the handle and knocker are weather-stained and there is a bit of rust. Anyone want them before I send them to the metal recycling?

Free: Child's camping stool (Seafield EH7) Gifted 231d - 3 legged fold-up stool, 30cm ruler in photos for scale. Tough fabric seat. Carrying strap. Size of seat means it is only really comfy for a child to sit on. Decent condition. About 30cm /1 foot high when unfolded.

Free: Plant pots (Seafield EH7) Gifted 235d - Selection of plastic plant pots, small sizes so they are good for sowing or potting on. Prefer if someone takes them all but will also consider splitting them up. We are in Craigentinny.

Free: Extra large and bright LED light bulbs x 2 (Seafield EH7) Gifted 257d - Standard bayonet fitting but bulbs are larger than normal. 24W (150W equivalent in old bulbs) .

Needs LED tealight(s) inside but you will have to provide this yourself as tin no longer has one, sorry. Photos show effect of a coloured tealight. Might make a nice light for a child?
