freezer drawers (Roseburn EH12)
4 drawers from our old freezer - very good condition. They measure 39cm square at the top, 40cm wide at the runners, and 14cm high. I kept them because I planned to make a storage unit with them, but it turns out that the unit would be too big for the space available. Maybe someone else can make use of them?

Small fan heater (Roseburn EH12)
Gifted
Note that this heater is not currently working. It is a small fan heater (measures about 25cm x 22cm x 10cm). We've had it for years and it worked fine the last time we used it. It's been sitting in a cupboard, but we now need the space more than we need the heater. Checked it before posting on here and found it isn't working any more. Might be a simple fix for someone who knows what they're doing - or perhaps you could take it to the Repair Cafe? (See notice on the Events tab.)
