Request: Furniture and Kitchen appliances (Edinburgh EH16) Hello everyone! I’m moving to unfurnished house, and if some of you guys have a big dining table, desk, wardrobes, chairs, kitchen things to give away, I would be more than happy to collect them myself (probably alongside me there will be “man with a van” guy). Surely, I don’t expect perfect condition, just for them to be in working order. My settlement date is 22nd of October, so before that I may not be able to store them anywhere.
Request: Feather Duvet (any size) (Thornwood G11) I would love a feather/down duvet if anyone has one that they no longer need. My flat is cold in the winter. I have no central heating and it's an old tenement flat.
