Free: Leather and metal rocking chair (Slateford EH14) Promised Lovely chair - but doesn't have fire safety label so charity shops won't take it. But with no padding it hopefully won't be a fire risk.

Free: Stained glass scrap pieces - green, blue, some lead (Slateford EH14) I tried making my own stained glass pictures many years ago. I haven't done anything since, but still had these scraps of glass and some lead kicking around. The green piece is the biggest (see ruler alongside) in photo. Might be of use to someone just starting on this hobby?

Free: 2 small lamp bases. Touch the base to turn lamp on/off (Slateford EH14) Gifted Each base has a diameter of 8cms and height of 4cms. They used to have cylindrical shades but after lots of wear and tear those broke. I think these could make an interesting craft project if you want to make your own lampshades.

Free: Copy of Scotsman newspaper for 1st Jan 2000 (Slateford EH14) Gifted Pages are yellowing a bit. There's a small tear on front page edge ( visible in photo) Hasn't been stored anywhere special, but loathe just to bin it.

Free: Flatbed Microwave 800w George - works great - some rust (Slateford EH14) Gifted Bought about 8 years ago and still working fine. But the bits of rust bothered some members of the household so have bought a new one pretty much exactly the same. Flatbed means it's easier to clean, it's a 20L one so dimensions smaller than most. Height 27.2cm Width 45.7cm Depth 37.9cm

Free: 9 x grey ceramic tiles. each 30cm x 30cm (Slateford EH14) Withdrawn 9 Matt ceramic tiles 30 x 30. For floor or wall. Grey marbled effect. Made in Italy. Were spares so unused, but now no longer required.

37d

Free: 6 pale pink tile samples (Slateford EH14) Withdrawn Picked these up while trying to decide on new tiles for bathroom. I have no use for them now, but before binning I thought I'd see if anyone could use them? A craft project maybe? For mosaics perhaps? Will throw them out if no response by weekend.

37d

Free: 2 oil cloth remnants. 34cm x 130cm and 27cm x 130cm (Slateford EH14) Gifted 2 oil cloth remnants that someone could perhaps make into small bags? They have brightly coloured parrots and flowers on them. One has a bit of orange staining on it. This might come off - I haven't attempted to do that. You should be able to see it in the photo.

Free: 2 part used tins of Covaplus vinyl Matt paint - Magnolia (Slateford EH14) Gifted These are 2 x 5 litre tins, but one probably contains about 1 litre, while the other contains roughly 4 litres. Colour of both is Magnolia.

Request: Shrunken wool jumpers - that have 'felted' after hot wash (Slateford EH14) Expired If you've accicentally shrunk your pure wool jumper in the wash then don't throw it out. If it's turned into a small 'felted' item then I might be able to cut it up for craft projects. e.g. Decorations, bag, hat? I actually don't know yet - just want to experiment.

Free: wastepaper bin - crying out to be up-cycled. (Slateford EH14) Expired I've had this wastepaper bin for over 30 years. It used to look like it was made of leather but it's actually a fake covering and in the last year or so the 'leather' has started to rub off. If I had the time and the skills I'd re-cover it with jazzy material or decoupage because it's a really nice wee bin and is still in good condition on the inside. Would anyone like it?

293d

Free: 2 rugs - one runner, one small hall (Slateford EH14) Gifted 2 matching rugs. Have been in my hallway for about 10 years. Quite thin (so doors can open), starting to get a bit worn at corners and on back, but someone might still want them. Runner is 67 x 225 cms Other rug is 100 x 150 cms
