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

I have two pairs of shoes that have only been worn once (am a martyr to me feet and cannot bring myself to wear shoes if they really hurt)

  • a size 6 pair of black court wedges (about 2.5" heel) from Peacocks. Only cost £12 so don't expect much!
  • a size 5 1/2 pair of M&S dark brown suede kitten heel shoes (also about 2.5" heel),very pointy toe and quite slim fit. They have a string bow and some little cut outs at the front. I wore these just the once for a job interview and got the job so they might even be lucky shoes.

I am happy to post either of these to people.

I also have a couple of handbags if anyone is really wants one. They are hard to describe though.

I have a lovely brown suede (I think it's suede!) one I bought from John Lewis but it didn't work for me and I stuck it in the cupboard. I have just had a look at it and to my dismay the handles look as if they are cracking. The lining, however, is gorgeous.

Also happy to post.

Virgil · 18/05/2012 17:55

Plus purple suede ballet flats, size three but too small for me so abandoned after one very brief wear.

youarekidding · 18/05/2012 21:05

What a lovely thread. I am actually one of those people who are struggling financially atm. LP + recession + twatty non maintenence paying ex = disaster!!

I am often given clothes for DS and always pass them on when finished. I am currently sorting out atm and will be happy to post anything on and have PM'd a few posters here about items I would like or happy to pass on.

I actually think if I recieve the least I can do is pass on! (from here or friends!) I am happy to pay postage, collect and pay towards items.

If anyone has any fitted sheets for a single bed they'd be very gratefully received.

PissyDust · 18/05/2012 21:20

RandomMess Do you have any small girls school uniform, age 4 in skirts and grey dresses?

RandomMess · 18/05/2012 21:21

DairyNips · 18/05/2012 21:24

Size 14 dark denim cropped jeans from new look. Brand new with tag, tried to eBay but no takers! They are v nice, just don't fit me very well.

Also, size 14 Dorothy Perkins dark skinny jeans, worn but great nick. Too tight on me. Another eBay mistake!

Can get to post office most days.

BebeAurelie · 18/05/2012 23:24

Been trying to think what I can offer, we don't have very much but I'm a big believer in karma so I've had a root around and I have 2 Triumph black bras that are hardly worn.

My aunty bought them for me in the sale because she knew I needed some but she guessed my size Hmm and they are too big so have hardly been worn. They are 34D and 34DD, plain black, smooth t-shirt style, PM me if they'd be useful to you and I'll post them.

Iggly · 19/05/2012 07:47

I've got a handful of bras - hardly used, 34B. Mainly black and white, a couple are strapless. One wonderbra in there too. Too small for me, always have been! Happy to post.

theDudesmummy · 19/05/2012 09:03

Hi, I have had a few requests for my toddler clothes so don't have any left now!

Thing3 · 19/05/2012 09:17

I have black out curtains that have never been used as I couldn't work out how to do it Blush no instructions.

Also DD2 and DD3 have loads of clothes that will probably never be worn thanks to hand me downs I will look through and post more stuff later.

Voidka · 19/05/2012 09:25

My boots have gone, as have my girls clothes.

I do still have boys clothes ages 7-9 and 4-5.

FriggFRIGG · 19/05/2012 09:42

I've still got toddler clothes...

Borntobeamum · 19/05/2012 09:49

Im looking after 2 little boys....aged 1 and almost 2. Mummy is really struggling financially. I've managed to send a few bits home with them but if anyone has vests, the all in one type, t shirts and shorts which I could pass on, id be eternally grateful. (2 yr old arrived yesterday in pjs)

Mum is trying so hard but insists on working. She'd Probably be better off on benefits but knows in the long run shes better to keep her foot in the work door.
Thank you so much if you can help.

stressedHEmum · 19/05/2012 09:50

I've still got sz4 black geox girl's school shoes, only worn 4 times, and gents sz7 black school shoes only worn for marching and BB parade, so plenty wear left.

Also adult sz8 astro boots.

RabbitsMakeBrownEggs · 19/05/2012 09:53

If anyone has any clothing for a boy 7+ or a girl 4+ then I would receive them very gratefully. Happy to pay postage. It would really be very helpful for me.

Borntobeamum · 19/05/2012 10:01
