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

Is anyone in a position to offer blue denim for patching, please? Roughly one jeans leg badly needed.

(or 1 piece - 12?x5?, 1 piece - 10? x6?, 1 piece - 10?x4?, + 2 pieces 3?x2?)

Sorry to ask.

MizK · 21/05/2012 15:08

can only recommend you read the thread addicted I also wouldn't have thought people were in such crappy situations in terms of not being able to afford the basics. So that's why I'd rather pass them on to someone who wouldn't be able to buy them at the moment.

NigellaPleaseComeDineWithMe · 21/05/2012 15:09

Various pieces of size 14 clothes - blouses, skirts etc - or will go to local charity shop....

BebeAurelie · 21/05/2012 15:10

JustGetting I have lots of fabric scraps, I never throw any out. I'll have a look and PM you later on if I have any. Does it need to be a particular shade of denim (indigo, stonewash etc) or would any do?

Marvellous · 21/05/2012 15:12

The clothes I offered have been taken now. Best wishes to everyone on this lovely thread.

OnTheBottomWithWomansWeekly · 21/05/2012 15:15

This is such a good idea, knowing stuff is going to people in need rather than traders.

I hope it's OK, several posters early on mentioned there is a For Free topic but someone said they didn't know how to get this thread into it - I've reported it so it should move.

Jamillalliamilli · 21/05/2012 15:22

BebeAurelie, preferably ordinary original blue, but anything that doesn't scream (ie white) will do the job. Thank you. :)

loubloutwinmum · 21/05/2012 15:30

I have a couple of maternity items - brand new floaty shirt and pencil skirt - both 12 - 14 - never been worn. Would be happy to post them to someone who needs them and would do me good not to see them hanging in my wardrobe Sad

I also have quite a few girls clothes for 9 - 11 year old! Bit of a mixed bag so let me know what you need & I'll have a dig through & see what I have! Might have few pairs of shoes - sizes 2 - 3 - girls but all worn but not worn out IYKWIM!

PM me if anyone is interested & I will post.

custardismyhamster · 21/05/2012 15:34

I have LOADS of books, which I've read but feel guilty throwing away. Generally chic lit type books. I'm West Yorkshire but work Wakefield/Barnsley and surrounding areas so if you want them and you're anywhere around West Yorks PM me and I'll drop off happily for you.

Clothes in varying sizes from 10 to 16, as I'm currently in a 16 and dieting, trying to get back down to 10 but need wardrobe space as I'm bursting at the seams. Do please PM if any help. I've got quite a few bits that would be good for work wear, or casual-jeans, etc. And size six shoes.

Want to help anyone I can.

newyearnewattitude · 21/05/2012 16:05

Hi there, does anyone have any tops or bottoms suitable for work in a size 16-18? I'm down to 1 pair of trousers, 1 skirt and 3 tops... it's dire... Sad

Also, ds (12) desperately needs a pair of black school trousers (he's small so age 10-12 fits) and some plain black shoes (big size 5-6)as the cheap pair I bought on email split in the sole after 2 weeks Angry

I have some toddler girls clothes aged 18 months to 2 years if they are any use to someone?? (also cot bumper etc)

EvacuationWarden · 21/05/2012 16:13

Newyear- I may have some, will check tonight when at home. Couple of blouses a skirt and maybe trousers, can't remember. Will look and post on here later- or PM, if I can work out how to do it! (Can see if anyones pm'd me but have not got the hang of sending a pm to someone else- bloody technology)

twirlyagogo · 21/05/2012 16:18

Have put on both threads - brand new for a girl - (says US 13-14) H&M 164cm apple green cropped summer trousers, matching floral blouse/top and vest top (white with blue and green flowers), also Gap matching short sleeved t shirt. Pic on profile. Really nice, would be lovely for birthday gift - or eBay if you need to, but please, as someone else said, in the spirit of the thread, please do leave for someone who truly needs them.

twirlyagogo · 21/05/2012 16:28

Pic on profile - brand new with tags, New Look 34D bra, underwired and matching knickers, also new with tags. Pink and coloured gingham, would say it is for a small 34D not a generous one!

twirlyagogo · 21/05/2012 16:30

Pic on profile - Marks and Spencer cyberman costume from Dr Who (I think!). Age 3-4, great condition, can't see anything wrong with it - don't think it was used actually as no Dr Who fans here . . . could make someone very happy!

twirlyagogo · 21/05/2012 16:37

Pics of all these on profile:

Next Sonic zipped hoody, used but great condition, washed, age 6.

Dorothy Perkins floral, scoop back, stretch dress, szie 14, washed, used, great condition.

New Look dress, apple green, crinkle effect, brand new with tags, size 12.

All from non smoking house, but we do have a dog and cat if anyone worried about allergies

OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere · 21/05/2012 16:38

I have that sonic hoody. I wear it Blush

newyearnewattitude · 21/05/2012 16:42

EvacuationWarden thank you!

twirlyagogo · 21/05/2012 16:43

In an age 6 MrsDeVere? I thought my diet was going quite well but really . . . Grin!

OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere · 21/05/2012 16:47

Ha ha, no its a slightly bigger size. I bought it, all proud, thinking DS2 would like it. He looked like this Hmm and said 'thats not Mario Brothers!'

So I wear it instead. Grin

BlackandGold · 21/05/2012 16:53

Never done this before but would like to help.....

I have a pair of BNWT but not this year's black jeans from Cotton Traders. Size 16 and length 29".

Ladies Gelert thin waterproof jacket size 16 in a purple/blue colour - not new but fine to wear.

Also a couple of brightly coloured thin ethnic type scarves - one pink and one green. Think they were freebies from somewhere.

Happy to post to anyone in need.

daisydoodoo · 21/05/2012 17:05

I think all my stuff has gone now. Hopefully all to those who need it and helping them out.

twirlyagogo · 21/05/2012 17:08

Pix on profile again:

Really nice teal silky/crinkly long top/short dress, lined, size 10 but would do up to 14 I reckon.

Disney Baby Winnie the Pooh 3-6 months, unworn, with tags, short cream dungarees and white short sleeved t shirt with bees and 'Pooh' design

Lovely Marks & Spencer jacket, 3-4 years, navy/denim colour, zipped hoody inside/attached, buttons on front - this was always a favourite of mine, so would love it to go to good home!

Disney 0-3 months, new with tags, all on one Winnie the Pooh with poppers

Gap shoes, brown and orange, leather and suede, unworn - the size is the problem. Cut label off before DS decided he didn't like them - so, I think they're for age 4. Perhaps someone could take them if they were a little smaller so they could definitely grow into them? Perfect condition, velcro straps.

flipflopflap · 21/05/2012 17:12

I have boys clothes aged from 12 months to 2 years.

Ladies clothes, I have size mainly size 12's and shoes size 6 (smart or casual)

Please PM me if you need any of the above.

daisydoodoo · 21/05/2012 17:12

I have a girls h&m coat in age 6-7 but comes up tiny. I'd say age 4-6 purple floral bomber type.

M&s boys navy school coat age 11-12

Both free to someone who needs them?

I'm in need of girls clothes ages 6-8 summer but not desperate I do work but like many nothing left after paying bills.

KnottyLocks · 21/05/2012 17:25

Newyear, I've Pmed you. Smile
