I have x if anyone is in need

[Givingupmyjob]

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 can't do much (as yet) by way of children's clothing, as am expecting dc3 in a couple of months.

I do have furniture though - good, solid wood, perfectly usable furniture. We are moving house, and have no space for it.

I have: (and apologies, but htis is all large furniture - part o fthe reason why we are having problems getting rid )

a sofa. big - doubles well as a single bed. feather cushions (and lots of them)
one armchair to match sofa.
a sideboard (yes, I know, hardly 'essential', but someone might want one)
a corner cabinet - 2 piece, cupboard base with a glass fronted top.
2 (yes, 2!) computer desks - one rectangular, one a corner desk.
2 bedside tables (I have actually been using these as a printer table and a tv table - they are quite big)

obviously none of this can be posted, but I am Kent/Surrey borders if anyone is interested

and I hope this thread continues to run, as I will be getting rid of lots of baby things as dc3 grows out of them - definitely not having anymore!

oh, also meant to add I have a cotbed mattress - it has a washable zip-off cover. I know it is unlikely that someone would want it for a newborn, but if anyone has an older toddler still in a cotbed, who could do with a new(er) mattress then let me know.

I may well have some blankets (old, but perfectly usable) and possibly duvets once I have excavated the cupboards in the spare room - I'll update when I know.

I have 2 or 3 bras will fit a 32H I would say. Brand new, no tags. They are labelled as 32J but are not that size hence why I can't wear them!!
I will have a look what else I have as I think I have some black block heel (suitable for work) shoes in a 7.5

I have maternity clothes, can't remember the size so will go look once dh has slept off the night shift

P.S as I said on the other thread, I also have food, a full kettle, and an ear for you to bend if anyone is in need in Lancs. Or if you want to borrow a book/have some company/need help for a morning

I have a few clothes for girl aged 3-4 and some newborn vests. In south Essex.

I can't offer a great deal at the moment as baby number 2 is coming in September so all maternity/baby clothes are needed. However, like a lot of people I can offer a sympathetic ear, a full kettle & tissues if needed. Am in Brighton. I also make great cakes, special dietary needs no problem

Although ds3 due in 2.5 weeks I think we have more clothes than he can wear left from ds's 1&2. Gonna try sort through them and see if I have any spares

Black out blinds have now gone.

If anyone is in North Ayrshire and is desperate, I always have plenty of dried, staple food (am a paranoid food hoarder) like rice, pasta, dried beans and the like also tinned fish/fruit etc. nothing fancy but it does a turn.

we don't have a food bank here yet, although there is one in the early stages of planning for Ardrossan and I have spent 6 months tryint to persuade my Kirk Session that there is a need for one here.

I have lots of bras size 36d from la senza, ann summers, m&s.
I also have a wonderbra size 36dd
KM black and white jumper dress size 14-16
doctor marten boots size 5
Would love for them to go to an mner!

I've PMed a couple of posters on this thread.

I'll continue my spring clean and report back when I know what I can offer.

I have quite a few 34E bras - rarely worn, all in good condition. Maybe some 34D as well. I'm happy to take pictures and post them if anyone wants to see them - most of them are la senza I think.

I also have two 6kg bags, unopened, of pedigree puppy food.

If anyone has any 34F bras I would be really grateful for them

Sz4 girl's school shoes have gone to a good home, now.

still have gents sz7 school shoes and sz8 astro boots. Also have age 9-10 M&S boys navy school trousers, only worn 2ce for BB parade (maybe 5 hours wear all in.)

I have a brand new Stinky the garbage truck that DS has never played with.

Going to have a look today in his toy cupboard as there are lot's of things he was bought at Christmas and didn't play with.

i am a skint (totally) student nurse and desperate for girls clothing size 3-4, my daughter has pretty much out grown everything. Would be very grateful for anything :)

I love this thread. So nice to see such a lovely side of human nature.

I am clearing out DS room this weekend so back later with items I will be happy to post out.

I know I have also 2 pairs of girls school trousers, black, age either 12 or 13. Hardly worn, M&S. PM me if any good.

MsVelvet. I might be able to help with that. I will have a look at what doesn't fit DD.

Also if anyone has any idea how I could get my hands on a cheap mobility scooter, I would be eternally grateful. Long shot into the dark.

I have lost a bit of weight on weightwatchers so i have a pair of Next sz 16 petite jeans,in vgc.
Plus i have some boys clothes age 3-4,trousers,tops & a nice next cardigan.
PM me if anyone wants them.

I have a pair of light brown suede look wedge boots from primani. worn once. they are lined with fur but you can wear the fur bit up or down . size 6.

A boys H&M black jacket, not v warm but would do for this time of year, age 11 -12

PM me if you would like them x

I have a brand new size 10 Regatta waxed jacket if anyone can use it.It is too bulky to post and I realise that it isn't to everyone's taste,but will keep the rain off.I'm in Leicestershire and can deliver it within a 10 mile radius.Can also offer tea and cake if anyone needs it.

I was feeling down about losing a days' work a week,but a lot of people have it far,far worse.I'll have a look around and see what else I can find.
