Free: Slightly broken IKEA Brusali shoe cabinet (Corstorphine EH12) We have a 5(?)-year-old IKEA BRUSALI shoe cabinet. It's a slightly "antique" / "distressed" white, rather than the matte white sold by IKEA currently. It's also well-used, so a bit grubby and has some stickers on it! One of the holes where the middle fold-out drawer attaches is broken. The chipboard has ripped, so the shelf won't stay in. I tried to mend it by shoving in slivers of wood plus some wood glue, but that only lasted a couple of weeks! If you're particularly handy at woodwork, maybe you can figure out some other way to mend it (e.g., add an extra bit of solid wood on the outside, and screw through into that???). Or, maybe you can make use of some spare bits of chipboard. It's currently disassembled, with all the fastenings carefully kept. If I can't get rid of it this week, it's going to the dump on Saturday.

Free: Johnson's Baby Lotion & Oil (Corstorphine EH12) Gifted These are probably a few years old but have no expiry date printed on them, are unused, and seem okay.

120d

Free: 60W E27 (bayonet cap) incandescent spot bulb (Corstorphine EH12) Gifted Found in the cupboard. Unopened so I couldn't test it, but it's years old. Definitely NOT energy saving, so perhaps I should just recycle it, but get in touch if it's any use

Free: 2 x 100W ES (large screw cap) incandescent bulbs (Corstorphine EH12) Gifted Found these in the cupboard. These are very much NOT energy-saving, so maybe nobody wants them and I should recycle them, but just in case ... I tested these today and they're working, but they're years old, so no idea how long they'll last.

132d

Free: Kids "Zoey" wig (K-Pop Demon Hunters) (Corstorphine EH12) Gifted Bought this from eBay for my daughter's Halloween outfit but she didn't like the feel of it on her head! Too much hassle to send back or resell a cheap costume item, so it's available for collection if anyone else wants it. Sold as "one size".

134d

Free: "Frozen"-themed table decorations, for kids party (Corstorphine EH12) Expired Three of these, unopened - bought for a party last year but never used

241d

Free: Window restrictor, to limit opening (e.g., for safety) (Corstorphine EH12) Expired 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.

244d

Free: Safetots furniture straps for attaching to wall (for safety) (Corstorphine EH12) Expired Several straps to attach the top of your furniture to the wall, for chlid safety, to prevent things toppling over if your toddler decides to try to climb a bookshelf. You do need to be able to drill into the wall and furniture, and you need screws and probably rawl plugs or similar.

244d

Free: Unused cassette tapes (2 C60, 1 C90) (Corstorphine EH12) Gifted Who knows if they're still usable? Why on earth would you want them? But if you do, they're free ...

Free: Cat litter (wood pellets) (Corstorphine EH12) Gifted I bought a big bag of this a while ago to soak up the paint in the bottom of nearly-empty paint tins before disposa, but I don't need most of it. Should still be fine for its intended purpose :⁠-⁠)

Free: Balance bike for 2-4-year-old (Corstorphine EH12) Gifted Red, with a bell :⁠-⁠) Needs a bit of a clean, and probably needs the tyres re-inflated a bit. (Last time we couldn't get our bicycle pump to fit into the small space where the valve is, but kindly Hart's Cyclery did it for us.)
