Window restrictor, to limit opening (e.g., for safety) (Corstorphine EH12)
We got more than we needed of these, when we were concerned about our toddler opening low windows and climbing out. You need a drill and screws to fix them to your window frame. They have a key so you can remove the restriction temporarily, e.g., for cleaning, or in case you need to use them as a fire escape, etc. Dark brown.

Compost (Growing Food) (Bellevue EH7)
Hello, I have just started to tend to a garden and am hoping to find some compost for a raised bed growing food (mainly - vegetables, berries and herbs). The bed is 8 inches deep and about the size of a double mattress. It is semi-filled with twigs and branches and I think it will require about 15-20 small garden sacks to complete. Here is a rather big 'ask'. I only have access to a bicycle for transport and if it's more than a rucksack full, I would need the majority of the compost delivered. I am most happy to load/unload everything myself and have loading bay parking in front of the stairwell door in N.E./Central Edinburgh. Many thanks for any compost that you may be able to offer.

Black & Decker Circular Saw (Ravelston EH4)
Promised
This is in good working order, despite its age - from the time when power tools were made of metal. The saw blade is nearly new. It's an Electric Drill with a Circular Saw attachment. You can dismantle it, but the chuck (and chuck key) for the drill is missing, so you can't use the drill unless you have, or find a matching chuck. You could get them on Ebay or similar. See attached photo of two chuck and a chuck key to make it clear what a they are. They are NOT included. It you reply, please give your phone number to arrange a mutually convenient collection time

Lightweight Upright/Cordless Vacuum Cleaner (Granton EH5)
I'm looking for a lightweight upright and or cordless vacuum cleaner. We only have a loan of an original Henry Hoover and my illness is making it so difficult to use. It absolutely kills my back to the point I have to wear a lidocaine patch on the base of my spine. Any help would seriously be appreciated.
