Following on from the truly skint thread I bet there are lots of us with things we have that we would be prepared to send to those who are really struggling. I don't want to insult anyone by offering things but at the same time I want to help if I can. I have boys clothes and shoes up to age 5 and black school trousers age six. Pm me. Anyone else have anything

PM me if anybody would like any of the following, I will post free:

Boys clothes in most ages from 18-24m up to and including 5-6. Not many trousers though as once they've been through both my boys there is not much left by the way of knees! (although I do have the ones that are worn through if anyone wants them- I had planned on patching them but a kind friend of a friend gave me a big bag of stuff the other day and there were at least 4 pairs - yippee!)

PJ's short and long sleeved tshirts jumpers some shorts, swimming trunks, a couple of coats and also shoes, socks and vests- different shoe sizes up to size 9 ish.

Couple of pairs of clarks school shoes, worn but not worn out. Was keeping them for ds2 but his feet are turning out to be a totally different width so no good.

Couple of pairs of school plimsolls, hardly any wear.

All clothes are in good enough condition to be worn in public!

Also some ladies clothes in sizes 16-18, including a few bits and pieces of maternity wear size 16.

I have masses. (Hoarding "just in case" but luckily we are out the other end of a hellish few years and I haven't needed to sell anything for ages)

After end of term, will have several M and S white girls school blouses aged 12, perfect condition, think a couple of aged 11 also. A couple of pairs of black girls school trousers, aged 11.
Plus a pair of size 4 black girls school shoes.
Various baby girls clothes 9-12 and 12 to 18 months.
Random women's clothes in size 10 and 12.
Brown Clarks boys trainers, size 2.
PM me and I can post free at beginning of summer hols or you can collect from Nottingham.

I have to paris of grey school trousers and two pair s of grey school school shorts.

The trousers are age 8-9 and the shorts 7-8.

I was going to give them to school as spares but if anybody else wants them I'll happily post just pm me.

TeaTeaLotsOfTea · 21/05/2012 12:00

Also I have a push along lawn mower and a garden strimmer but you'll have to come and get those.

HelenMumsnet · 21/05/2012 12:00

Hello. Just posting a reminder about the Nearly New boards on every Mumsnet Local. It's a permanent place for Mumsnetters to 'advertise' stuff they're happy to give away (or swap or sell) to other Mumsnetters who live near them.

Do please make use of them if you can.

Solo · 21/05/2012 13:14

HelenMumsnet I looked at the 'local' to give stuff away, but I felt like the anonymity would be lost and that's why I personally didn't use it.

Solo · 21/05/2012 13:17

Some of my washable breast pads gone.

QueenOfTheMadhouse · 21/05/2012 14:06

I have some brand new George Pig flip flops from Sainsburys with backs to keep them on in a size 4 if anyone would like them, they are going to be too big for my son this summer and most probably too small next summer!

peggyblackett · 21/05/2012 14:16

I have some girls baby clothes, all in excellent condition, size 0-3 months. I'm happy to post them for no cost, please PM me if interested.

I've also got some girls tops in size 6/7/8. Also PM me for these.

RainQueen · 21/05/2012 14:25

If anyone has a boys coat for a 6 year old I would be very grateful. My DS is squeezing into his size 4-5 one still. I was hoping I could hold off until the Winter but the weather has been so awful.....

peggyblackett · 21/05/2012 14:39

Also an unopened pack of Boots maternity mats if anyone wants them.

bonnieslilsister · 21/05/2012 14:40

Also have 2 little coats one for a upto 11lb baby and one for 3 to 6 months ( both are for boys) will post

BrainSurgeon · 21/05/2012 14:44

I have smart clothes size 12 in very good shape, some brand new (don't fit me anymore :() hopefully someone can use for job interviews.
Shoes size 5 (not new but good condition)

Boys clothes 2-3 years and boys shoes roughly for the same age, pair of Thomas the Tank engine wellies size 7

LOADS of toys and books for ages 0-3, especially cuddly toys - DS never wanted cuddly toys so we have a few in pristine condition, would make good pressies!

addicted2shopping · 21/05/2012 14:45

mizK what clothes do you have size 12? Dont send them for free, if anything appeals to me il pay you :)

twirlyagogo · 21/05/2012 14:48

RainQueen - have messaged you.

I have lots of 12/14 clothes if anyone needs them - will go look now and list some, also size 5 shoes.

katkeeper · 21/05/2012 14:49

i have lots of girls age 12-18 months clothes x

MizK · 21/05/2012 14:54

Um, addictedto its more a case of I'd like to give them to somebody who really needs them than to sell on? As this was inspired by a thread that really moved me about people who are massively struggling at the mo.

addicted2shopping · 21/05/2012 14:54

What do you have?

addicted2shopping · 21/05/2012 14:56

I dont think many people are actually struggling enough to ask people for clothes on here though!

milk · 21/05/2012 14:57

addicted2shopping- I am happy you have never had to deal with such hardship!

BebeAurelie · 21/05/2012 14:58

Addicted Yes they are, they really are. Some people are really struggling to put food on the table actually.

BrainSurgeon · 21/05/2012 14:58

addicted, have a look here

addicted2shopping · 21/05/2012 15:01

Sorry if i misunderstood. I need some clothes and was offering someone some money for some. Its a win win situation. If someone genuinly has no clothes and needs them then they can have them, sorry :)

daisydoodoo · 21/05/2012 15:06

hi, i have some boys clothing suitable for age 10. lots barely worn but a few years old as from ds1 who is 14 now and kept for ds2 but wrong fits (ds1 tall and slim, ds2 more chunky)

also have some girls summer clothing in age 4-5.

daisydoodoo · 21/05/2012 15:07

also if anyone in need of larger ladies clothing, i found a large carrier bag with some size 22's-26's in, as lost weight in the last year and had ebayed/charity shopped most, but some tunics from places like evans, that could go to a new home.
