BLUE SHEETS AND GREEN SOCKS AVAILABLE!

We are all into recycling these days and I have these fabulous blue sheets that are used once, then they are thrown away. I work at Kensington Hospital and we have a lot of these. We use them when patients come out of the theatre to help transfer/move them. They are very strong, and great to use around the house e.g great for lining your car, moving soil/plants around the garden, decorating and many many more uses. I also take them to the dog pound.
 

   

I also have green socks, which are given to patients as they are anti-slip. They are only worn for a very short time and then discarded. I take them home, wash them and take to the hospice shop for resale.
 
I also am able to get these small glass jars. They are very useful for storing spices in or for arts and crafts. The jars do come with a metal edge, which will need removing (use a flat head screwdriver and be aware that the metal is sharp). Once removed it leaves a rubber stopper. The bottles have had liquid Paracetamol in so please do wash out jars thoroughly before putting anything edible in.


If any of you can use these items, please contact me at the contact details given below. I do prefer email.
