Free: Sudocrem, past expiry date (Seafield EH7) Gifted 2 tubs, unopened but expiry date was June 2021. No idea whether it might still be useable, take at your own risk! Tub says it's antiseptic healing cream for skin problems.

Free: Map holder for bicycle (Seafield EH7) Gifted 1970s Pletscher map holder attaches to bicycle front stem. Useful for cycletouring. Online sources say it fits on a traditional expander bolt rather than allen key stem bolt. Please be sure you know what this means before asking for this item. Spring clip holds the map. I appreciate it when people say why they want an item, not just "can I have".

11d

Free: Epimedium plants (Seafield EH7) Gifted 7 pots available, could be more later as we're clearing the area. Variety not known. Has done fine in clay soil in part shade under a fruit tree. Seems to tolerate wet or dry conditions. Tiny flowers in spring. Good ground cover, see photo 2, spreads by rhizomes but fairly slowly. Leaves in photo show some damage but generally pests don't seem to bother them!

Free: Protective boot for ankle problems? (Seafield EH7) Gifted Plastic boot with neoprene liner. Also heel lift insert. Size L (eg mens size 10). Front of boot comes off for access. Will hold ankle stable e.g to protect Achilles tendon. Worn for 1 hour only, not suitable for partner's problem. Solid sole, can be used outside. Any use to anyone? (Hospital won't take it back.)

53d

Free: Bottled gas heater case, no gas, needs new adapter (Seafield EH7) Withdrawn This has been a great heater but you can't get gas bottles to fit the adapter any more. It has an old Mac-Gas adapter, needs a new-style Flo-Gas one (or similar). You will need to buy a suitable gas bottle, first one is likely to cost around £100 but refills are cheaper. Case is stained and a bit battered but functional. It's heavy and bulky so we are replacing it with a different type of heater. Pick up most mornings or other times by arrangement.

72d

Request: Tall folding stool (Seafield EH7) Received Looking for a tall folding stool or perching stool. My partner can only stand for short periods of time. A tall stool would really help in the kitchen. Normal stools are too low for kitchen tasks - food prep, washing up etc. Has to fold up to be practical for us. If anyone has one they don't need, I'd be grateful. I can collect. Thanks.

78d

Request: X-Files DVDs series 4 and others (Seafield EH7) Expired Looking for series 4. Plus any from series 7 onwards. Found some in a charity shop and been rewatching them but we only have 1,2, 3, 5 and 6. Thanks.

154d

Free: Shelving x 6 (Seafield EH7) Expired 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.

155d

Free: Hearing amplifier (Seafield EH7) Gifted Looks like a small radio with earbuds but when turned on it amplifies any sound around it. Has a volume control. Pen in photo just for scale. I guess it is like an alternative to a hearing aid. WARNING: I have normal hearing and sounds were very loud even at lowest volume! It amplifies even the sound of a finger touching the device. But may be useful for someone with poor hearing. (An elderly relative bought it but never used it.) Needs 2 x AA batteries. More info and reviews online, search for Easylife Hero Mighty Ear.

188d

Free: Home winemaking corker and corks (Seafield EH7) Expired 2 different bottle corkers for homemade wines. 6 unused corks and a few bottle seals. All quite old but useable as far as I know.

189d

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.

195d

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.

199d

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!

202d

Free: Fridge lights x 3, incandescent (Seafield EH7) Gifted 3 x E14 small screw-fit 15W fridge bulbs, incandescent. Bought for an old fridge that has now gone. No use for modern fridges with LED lights!
