Contiboard (Roseburn EH12)
12 lengths of white contiboard (melamine-faced chipboard) from some old shelves that we've dismantled. They're all 15cm wide, but not all the same length - the shortest is 71cm, the longest is 82cm. Three of them only have edging on one side. Slightly scruffy, but might be of use in a garage or shed?

Cupboard doors (Roseburn EH12)
Gifted
A pair of louvre doors that we've taken off an old cupboard- each door measures 38cm x 77cm. They are painted white - we've cleaned them but they could do with a new coat of paint. Doorknobs, hinges and ball catch still attached.

Tall shelves (Roseburn EH12)
Gifted
Two large wooden shelving units, which were originally display shelving in a shop. We've been using them for books - they hold an enormous amount. They are a bit scruffy, but robust, and could easily be repainted. The green one is 231cm tall, 91cm wide. The black one is 225cm tall, 79cm wide. The shelves in both are 27cm deep at the bottom, 21cm deep at the top. We could perhaps deliver if not too far away.

Sofa cushions (Roseburn EH12)
Gifted
2 seat cushions from our old sofa - we kept these to use as floor cushions but haven't used them much and don't really have space for them. The cushions are quite firm and could easily be re-covered - the covers are a bit worn in places.

Old camping mats (Roseburn EH12)
Gifted
2 Therm-a-Rest inflatable sleeping mats, size 51cm x 119cm (they roll up fairly small - see second photo). These are quite old and both have a slow leak. We don't need them any more and rather than just throw them out, I thought I'd offer them here in case they might be useful to someone, perhaps for sitting on at picnics (they're waterproof), or maybe someone else wants to have a go at fixing them. (There's lots of advice online about how to do this: seam sealer/other glue, duct tape, patches, or even the Therm-a-Rest repair service.)

Tiles (Roseburn EH12)
Gifted
27 plain black tiles - Johnson Prismatics glossy tiles, 148mm square. They are leftover tiles from a full box, so they're a bit dusty but not damaged.

Large Jade plant (Roseburn EH12)
Gifted
Would anyone like this jade plant? It's grown too big for our space! 1 litre milk bottle is there for scale. It's a succulent, easy to care for, doesn't need much watering. You'll need transport to collect it - I'll put it in a box.

Water storing gel (Roseburn EH12)
Gifted
2 unopened sachets of Hozelock product for mixing with compost in plant pots, growbags or in garden beds. Once activated by watering, it retains water and helps stop plants drying out. This is quite old (says 2016 on the back - that's the stock number, not the date) but the contents are still dry so it should be OK.

Soil pH meter (Roseburn EH12)
Gifted
Rapitest soil pH meter. Easy to use - it has a probe that you push into the soil to test it. Quite old, but never used, as far as I know - it came from my mother-in-law's shed.

Artemis Fowl audio tapes (Roseburn EH12)
Gifted
These are the first 3 books from the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer: Artemis Fowl, Artemis Fowl and the Arctic Incident, Artemis Fowl and the Eternity Code. We recorded them from the CDs to listen to in the car on long journeys, and they passed the time well! Haven't played them for ages but they were fine the last time we listened to them.

Old Skis (Roseburn EH12)
Gifted
2 pairs of old-fashioned skis with Marker touring bindings (they allow you to lift your heels for going uphill). These are very old, from the late 1980s, and have been in storage for many years so I don't know if the bindings would even be safe to use! The Fischer ones are 175cm long and the Elan ones are 160cm. Are these any use to anyone?

Fossils (Roseburn EH12)
Gifted
Would anyone like this random collection of fossils? They were collected by our kids and include graptolites, ammonites, coral, brachiopods, fish scales. There's nothing very special but they are quite interesting, though there's no record of where they came from.
