So I braved the rain and did a car boot this morning, £170 in 2 hours! Car booters are crazy! But my lovely Asda gift sets and toiletries went down a treat :T

Morning all :hello:

Hope you are ok TM :eek::eek:

Question. Probably a stupid one but here goes
When taking games to sell to CEX, is it better to remove the cellophane wrapping. As I guess most people taking games to sell there are taking 2nd hand ones, so taking a new one will look weird. I bought one in Sainz with the double up and plan to take it to the local CEX place today.

I've only sold to them once and they made me unwrap everything myself

Morning paw sniffers:D

I’m up early. Busy day ahead.

I didn’t get to tell you about my mishap yesterday.

As usual I was rushing around to an appointment early yesterday morning. I usually park in A’s car park close to where I had a meeting. There had been a bit of a ground frost yesterday, but I was surprised to see that A had salted/ gritted the entire car park with what looked like tiny little plastic balls.
I was wearing a pair of kitten heel boots freshly out of my winter wardrobe. If I’d thought about it , I would have remembered that I nearly broke my neck in them last year on a slippy floor.:eek:

I think you can see where I’m going with this:o

Within yards of leaving the car, I did a bambi on ice impersonation and fell spectacularly on these blooming slippy things.....just as a car was turning the corner into the car park. It was impossible to save myself and I fell, just glancing my head against the front wheel of the oncoming car.:eek:

I was totally unhurt and felt more embarrassed than anything else:o

Needless to say, I spent the rest of the day contemplating what might have been and how in a split second your life can change or even end:eek:

I realised my family would have misrepresented my demise......well.....she died doing what she loved.....wombling:rotfl:

I thought about “poetic justice” and “divine retribution”......meeting my maker in an Asda car park:rotfl:

I would like to think that my tombstne would read “ she lived by the sword and died by the sword” but more likely would be.....

“Here lies TM, squashed in an Asda carpark”

:rotfl::rotfl:

So glad you're ok.
But the way you have written your trauma is so funny. :rotfl::D:eek:

Morning peeps.

No think they sell for a fixed price. Never been in a CEX (careful how I type that :rotfl:) shop before. :eek:

Just return to S and explain you have bought a duplicated gift and they will give you a cash refund according to the t&c.

For people with the BG card - getting a paper, mag and coffee would give an extra saving of about 50p at weekends
