Children’s activity kits (Corstorphine EH12)
Withdrawn
A little bit of the yellow wool has been used and I can’t find the knitting tool from the Spool knitting kit. (I may still find it, but a crochet hook or a short knitting needle would work.) The Birdhouse kit has 2 unused wooden houses, paint, brushes and two birds. One slide is missing from the Microscope kit (4 still there) and there are no stickers.

Empty yogurt pots with lids. (Corstorphine EH12)
Withdrawn

Curtain tape (Corstorphine EH12)
Expired
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.

King size duvet cover and 2 pillowcases (Corstorphine EH12)
Expired
This has been well used but is still in pretty good condition. One of the pillowcases has a bit of fraying - very inexpertly stitched my me. This can be seen in the photo.

Dining chair covers for old IKEA chairs (Corstorphine EH12)
Gifted
These covers are not stretchy and will only fit the Hendriksdal chairs from IKEA. They don’t sell that style anymore. I still have the chairs but their covers are so faded that I can’t use these 2. Can anyone use them on their old IKEA chairs?

Old lady dressing up outfit (Corstorphine EH12)
Gifted
You may think this is a bit weird. My grandchildren thought 70 was really, really old! On my birthday last year I welcomed them to my party dressed as an old lady! They thought it was hilarious. The skirt fits a 10/12. It’s not suitable for proper wear as I bought it at a charity shop and just took 6 inches out of a side seam and stitched it up. The wig is pretty good -again, only for dress up. There’s a pair of granny glasses, ‘pearl’ earrings and necklace, some curlers (I dint use them, that was a step too far,) and a blow up walking stick - also unused. It’s not in the photos but I used a wooden walking stick which you can have.

Berghaus backpack (Corstorphine EH12)
Gifted
This is old but in good condition. I think it’s a 25l bag. Measurements are around 15inches high and 14 inches wide - it’s hard to be exact when it’s empty. All zips are working.

Postfix Concrete (Corstorphine EH12)
Gifted
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.
