Massage table

What they said: would be grateful if anyone out there has a massage bed so my
daughter can practice at home, As she is attending a beauty course.

Balls

Does anyone have a frosted glass ball knocking around? I have three
sets of three lights, all with frosted glass balls.....except the one
I've just smashed! They are round and fit over a candle bulb, they
sort of 'ping' on when you push the springs in. If you have one you'll
know what I mean! If you do have one which is no longer needed, or you
have one in use at the moment and think you'll be replacing it in the
near future, I would be so grateful if you could contact me or keep my
details on one side for later.

Many thanks

What I said: Whoops! OK someone might have one lay about ...

moved into my own house from living with my parents, please is there
anybody out there who could help me, i can pick up from anywere thanks


What I say: This sortof post always makes me sad. Someone moving out when they're having a baby and having to scrap together enough money for a sofa. Well stay at home then! It's much better for you and your baby to have a fully furnished home and have people around you.

If you can't afford a sofa you are so going to struggle with a baby.

I recommended the local charity shop which sells furniture.

need of some as my little girl keeps going up the stairs if anybody has

I say: Two cases where you need something like this - BUY your own or don't have cats and dogs together (Honestly, a dog will jump over a gate to get at something it really wants to!) And it's your child. Don't expect other people to buy you safety equipment
