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.

YSL foundation (Corstorphine EH12)

I tried this but didn’t like it so it’s almost full.

Empty yogurt pots with lids. (Corstorphine EH12)
17 large (950g) and 10 small (450g) yogurt tubs. Handy for storage. They’ve all been through the dishwasher but, as you can see, my granddaughter had fun building with them so you may want to give them a wee wash.

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

Request:
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.

Oilatum bath emollient (Corstorphine EH12)

Could anyone use this? It has been opened and a small amount used. I found out that I much prefer the soap!

A weight for a helium ballon (Corstorphine EH12)

The birthday balloon has gone to the recycling but can anyone make use of the weight?

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.

Empty yogurt pots for storage (Corstorphine EH12)
Gifted
22 small pots and 6 large. All with lids. Are these useful to anyone for storage? They have all been through the dishwasher.

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.

King size duvet cover (Corstorphine EH12)
Gifted
This is a polycotton, king-size duvet cover and 2 pillowcases. It has been well used but is still in pretty good condition. It has a different pattern on each side.

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)
Gifted
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.

Good Housekeeping magazines (Corstorphine EH12)
Gifted
I have these Good Housekeeping magazines going back to October 2021. There may be a month or two missing here and there and the puzzle pages have been done but I don’t cut out pages! Would you like some…or all?

Weather bar for exterior door. (Corstorphine EH12)
Expired
This is a brassy, gold colour. It’s in pretty good condition but has some paint on the reverse side from where it was attached to the door. I also have the four screws for it. It’s 88cm long, about 34 1/2 inches

Insulation from HelloFresh box (Corstorphine EH12)
Gifted
Can anyone use these? I have 7 or 8 of them. They are very soft and I kept them thinking that I’d find a use for them…I haven’t, so it’s time for them to go but are not recyclable and I hate things going to landfill.

Solar lanterns - not working (Corstorphine EH12)
Expired
Can anyone make use of these? They don’t light up anymore and have a bit of rust but maybe someone has an idea for a craft. The plastic bulbs unscrew.
