Curtain tape (Corstorphine EH12)
Could anyone use this curtain tape. They are both 52 inches (132cm) long and 3 inches (7.5cm) deep. It’s from a pair of charity shop curtains that I turned into aprons and cushion covers.

Travel kettle. (Corstorphine EH12)

This is a really tiny travel kettle. It takes about 350ml of water which is a wee bit more than a mug.

Postfix Concrete (Corstorphine EH12)

Unopened 20kg bag of Postfix concrete. I found a way round fixing the posts so didn’t need this. There’s a small amount in one corner that has hardened but the rest feels fine.

Child’s Car seat - not Isofix (Corstorphine EH12)
Gifted
We’ve had this a few years but, apart from some fading from the sun, it’s in good condition. Only been used in a grandparent’s car. Needs to be used with a seatbelt.

Wellies (Corstorphine EH12)
Gifted
Very old fleece lined wellies. They say a 6 but they’re quite narrow across the toes. They’d also be more comfortable if you put in an insole. There’s a little bit of wear on the heels. If they’re any good to anyone I’ll give them a clean before they’re collected. (No point in cleaning if they’re going to landfill 😕)

Shower door trim (Corstorphine EH12)
Gifted
It’s new, 715mm, just over 28inches, long. It said it would fit 4 to 6mm wide shower door. I think mine is 6mm but I can’t make it fit! Now that I’ve bought a wider one, wondering if anyone can make use of this one.

Toiletries (Corstorphine EH12)

Are these of use to anyone? I’ve had them a while. All have been used, some only once, others around half full.

Large cardboard box (Corstorphine EH12)
Expired
My grandchildren love making things with boxes. We’ve already done a puppet theatre and a Santa sleigh. They’re staying with me next week so, if you’ve had a fridge, freezer, washing machine or some other white goods delivered in cardboard this week, please consider allowing me to collect it from you. West Edinburgh would be easiest for me to pick up from. Thank you.

Plastic cutlery and toddler cup (Corstorphine EH12)
Expired
I was going to throw this cup out as maybe no one will want to use a second hand one but I thought I’d try here first. I’ve tried to show that the sippy spout is pretty close to unmarked. The cutlery could be used for play in a Wendy house or maybe in an outdoor mud kitchen.

Fabric storage ‘boxes’ (Corstorphine EH12)
Gifted
These are big enough to store a double duvet. They have both been through a wash but one of them still has felt pen on the outside as I used to write the contents. You can see this in the second photo. I expect it would fade with further washes.

Grey throws (Corstorphine EH12)
Gifted
Two waffle cotton grey throws. Both the same size and would each cover an armchair. There are a few small pulls in the fabric but they aren’t really noticeable.

Shed paint tester pots (Corstorphine EH12)
Gifted
20 little pots of shed/fence paint. I was given these but I haven’t actually ever opened them. Although they are used it feels like most of them are almost full and, when shaken, they sounds like the paint is still liquid.

Wedge shaped memory foam pillow (Corstorphine EH12)
Gifted
Wedge shaped memory foam pillow. It’s about 820mm x 600mm and 190mm at the deepest end. I have 2 covers for it. One is homemade and has no fastenings, as in the photo. The other is shop bought and fastens with studs. Both are white and fit the pillow well.

Sand/water tray (Corstorphine EH12)

This is tiny, only around 11 inches high, but my grandchildren had fun with it as soon as they were able to stand independently.

Garden storage box (Corstorphine EH12)
Gifted
The hinges have broken on this box but the top is still a good, watertight fit. It’s a bit mucky, having been open to the elements since storm Katherine blew the top off, my fault, not having secured the padlock. No point in me cleaning it if nobody wants it! It only needs hoovered out and a wipe with a soapy cloth. I haven’t measured it but it’s about 4 1/2 to 5 feet long by 2 feet deep. I can measure it properly tomorrow if anyone is truly interested in taking it off my hands.
