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

boys shoes are gone now.

I still have the girls ones. I should have said that they are a size 4.

OK, I haven't had a really solid look yet, but some things I found before work this morning...
1 pair boys brown suede shoes size Eur26, which I think is an 8.5 over here. They've only been worn once to a wedding then ds was completely unreasonable and grew out of them!

1 pair Thomas the Tank engine slippers with flashing lights, size 7

Girls outfit never worn age 12-18 months. It's a brown cord pinafore with a pink long sleeved top underneath. Maybe not the most summery, but the way this summer's going....

All free to a good home, I'll pay postage. PM me your address.

Various other shoes girl & boy all Clarks or similar - will check sizes & types.

Women's clothing, various bits, some smart & suitable for work, some casual, some a bit fancy, size 10 - tops, jersey, knits, skirts, trousers etc.

A lovely green duffle coat (I love green but have decided it's not really my colour) size 10.

Tons of maternity clothes size 10, really lovely stuff.

Women's shoes couple of pairs of wedges (one Dune, tan raffia style heel, one Jones the Bootmaker, light green leather) both only worn a few times - size six

Two pairs of flat shoes, one brown & tan leather, leather soles really smart, ideal for work (I have a large instep so they were no good for me) worn for about 25 minutes.....both size six

One pair or patent ballet flats worn about twice.

Cot bedding, various fitted sheets & cellular blankets & a lovely set of unused bedding consisting of duvet case & pillow case (too small for DD's duvet).

Not exactly child related but I've got loads of nursing text books approx 8-10 yrs old if anyone wants them (am near glasgow). Way too heavy to post. In immaculate condition. Seminal texts that just get added to rather than rewritten.

Also have a cosy coupe car (yellow and red) and a blue rocker thing for the garden.

Forgive me if it's already been done, but how about a swap party? (Obvs for local to each other mnetters). Basically turn up with all spare clothing and shoes & toys etc, have tea and cake and give and swap between you? I sometimes do this with a group of girls I know!

I have far too much store cupboard food and we are moving in a few weeks. Am happy to post to anyone who needs some.

Love this thread and would very much like MN to make this a more formal and organised thingy, so we can see what has gone and what is needed.

It would be great for soemone to be able to say 'anybody got a steriliser' and for someone else to say 'had forgotten I had this, here you go'
