Free: Kettle (faulty) (Kirkcaldy KY1) Black Dualit Studio kettle. Works fine but doesn’t switch itself off when boiling, not a problem if you can stand over it when on. Descaling might possibly cure it but it’s not very scaled up having lived its life in Fife. Will have to chuck it if no one wants it.

Free: IKEA simple terrace table +2 chair (Gilmerton EH17) This is a used but good 'trio' of a small foldable IKEA terrace table, indoor/outdoor style, with two foldable chairs, matching. They are all dark brown natural wood colour and pattern, with black metal frames. All three items were already treated with non-toxic weather proof coating. The chairs fold up nicely just as they are and the table has one additional screw to fix it which luckily I still have! :) For collection only. I usually have time some weekday mornings and almost all afternoons/early evenings of the week. Thank you, and have a nice day :) Lili

Free: Kitchen work surface (Fowlis Wester PH7) This marbled effect green coloured work surface is available to anyone who can use it. In pretty decent condition but probably best suited for an outbuilding project or maybe even greenhouse surface. Measurements are on photos but longer piece is at least 7 feet long. Hoping someone can make use if it rather than taking it to the dump.

Request: Bottles (Barnhill DD5) Wanted Bottles I make my own kefir and up to now, I have decanted it into standard glass milk bottles, but they are not quite large enough. Recently I rescued a bottle that we were going to put in the council recycling bins and it turned out to be perfect for what I need but really need some more. It is a 690g Napolina passata bottle. See picture. If you regularly use this size of Napolina passata bottle, I would really appreciate it if you could save one or two for me. I can collect around Dundee and perhaps further afield. I know I could easily buy a bottle, but since I got my first kefir grains on Freegle as well as the Kilner jars for fermentation thought I’d see what Freegle comes up with! Thanks

Request: Kids scooter. (Haddington EH41) Scooter to suit ages 7 to 11. For visiting grandchildren.
Free: White bench (kids sitting height) (Gilmerton EH17) A used but good (one small part tends to pop out under the bench) white wooden bench is on offer. I was its first owner. It seems to be a combination of plywood and perhaps pine, it is not glossy in any case. It looks easy to be repainted to a colour of your choosing :) What I want to point out is that even though I got it for myself and it's comfortable adult size as for back support, the sitting level is rather low, so it's probably kids height as for sitting down and then getting up from it again. Probably not suitable for yourself if you are an adult with joint issues! However, if you prefer sitting close to the ground as an adult, this bench was made for you. Dimensions are as follows: Overall height 80.5 cm Sitting surface height 39.5 cm (!) Overall width 115 cm Sitting surface width 99.5 cm Overall depth 45cm Sitting surface depth: 42 cm It probably could be disassembled if needed, I'm just not sure how exactly - sorry, a very insecure DIY person here. I won't be able to help with lifting or carrying only cheer you on, so please bring a buddy with you. For collection only. I usually have time some weekday mornings and almost all afternoons of the week. Thank you very much, Lili

Free: Dining chair covers for old IKEA chairs (Corstorphine EH12) These covers are not stretchy and will only fit the Hendriksdal chairs from IKEA. They don’t sell that style anymore. I still have the chairs but their covers are so faded that I can’t use these 2. Can anyone use them on their old IKEA chairs?

Free: Large wood chippings (West End EH12) We currently have a large pile of wood chippings in our communal gardens that are too large to mix with compost, which was our plan for them. However, they are suitable for a variety of other uses - suppress weeds, bonfires, barbecues or fire pits or stock up for your wood burning stoves. While we have spread some over an area to suppress weeds, we are happy to give the rest away for free. For collection only, you will need to bring a suitable container and can take as much or as little as you need. We have wheelbarrows that you can use to transport the chippings to the garden gates.
