Free: Toy rabbit (Roseburn EH12) Withdrawn Maybe this rabbit would look good in an Easter decoration? It's about 20cm tall, soft and furry. It used to hop around (battery-operated) but sadly doesn't work any more. (Note: The outside is soft, but it's not a squashy cuddly toy.)

61d

Free: 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.)
