Free: Mortar and render waterproofer (Seafield EH7) Gifted 5 litre container, Feb brand. Feels like hardly any been used but we haven't opened it to check. Found when we cleared out our shed, possibly left by a tradesman as we don't know anything about it! It has probably been there for years so we have no idea if it's still useable. Would prefer not to take it to the tip if someone can use it.

Free: Shelving x 6 (Seafield EH7) Approx 26"X6" / 66cm x 15cm. 6 offcuts of white melamine laminated board. Been in a shed so a bit grubby but still useable for shelving.

Free: Piece of heavy chain (Seafield EH7) Gifted About 4ft/123cm approx. Previously used to lock a motorcycle. Pen in photo for scale. Heavy duty with plastic coating. Been cleaned but is stained.

Free: Paraffin lamp (Seafield EH7) Gifted "Anchor" brand pressure lamp, old. Chrome is flaking and discoloured in places, eg near the "By Blacks" label in 2nd photo. But plastic knobs etc look ok. Still seems to contain some paraffin - can hear liquid inside it anyway. No instructions or model number and it may require a mantle. No idea if it will work or how it works, we found it when clearing a shed and have never used it. So try it at your own risk!

12d

Other set has a broken coloured bulb, the only spare we have is a fuse bulb. They could be used for spare bulbs but the fittings are different on each set. Can anyone use?

111d

Request: Concertina (Seafield EH7) Expired I would like to learn the concertina but I have never tried one. I don't want to buy a nice instrument straight off in case i don't enjoy playing or I get the wrong one (I know there are different types). This is a very big ask, I know, but does anyone have one gathering dust that they would be willing to pass on?

Free: Longlife milk past Best Before date (Seafield EH7) Expired Two 1-litre cartons of semi-skimmed longlife (UHT) milk. Best Before date of 3rd November. (Not a Use-By date.) No use to me and I don't think a food bank would take them. Does anyone want them, before I pour them down the sink?

Free: Buddleia (butterfly) bush, white flowers (Seafield EH7) Gifted Just dug up and needing a new home. Been in our garden for a number of years. We have pruned it down to about 80cm for removal but stems will regrow in spring. It will reach about 2 metres tall each year (and about as wide!) but can be cut back hard each winter. It is quite heavy and bulky! Roots wrapped in plastic for now but pick up asap.

Free: Door fittings (Seafield EH7) Gifted ** I have had number of responses so it's unlikely that any new replies will get this item. Sorry.** Yale lock with keys. Brass-look handle and knocker (modern, not antique). 2 hinges. Not new, came off a front door so the handle and knocker are weather-stained and there is a bit of rust. Anyone want them before I send them to the metal recycling?

Free: Child's camping stool (Seafield EH7) Gifted 3 legged fold-up stool, 30cm ruler in photos for scale. Tough fabric seat. Carrying strap. Size of seat means it is only really comfy for a child to sit on. Decent condition. About 30cm /1 foot high when unfolded.

Normal size bulb in photo for comparison only. Never used. They don't fit inside our closed lampshades but should be ok in an open shade?

Free: Camping sleep mat (Seafield EH7) Gifted 2-layer foam Karrimat. Unrolls to 6ft/184 cm long. A bit battered, some scuffs and chips but still plenty of life in it!

1y

Free: Light-up tin house decoration (Seafield EH7) Expired Approx 10ins/26cm tall. Tin house has decorative holes on all 4 sides so light shines through, see photos. Subtle Christmassy style. Needs LED tealight(s) inside but you will have to provide this yourself as tin no longer has one, sorry. Photos show effect of a coloured tealight. Might make a nice light for a child? I don't think it's suitable for a real flame tealight.
