    Tallie - no, Musicmagpie send you a freepost label for your DVDs after you put the ISBN numbers in, and they tell you how much they'll send you in cheque form.

    Amazon has a standard £1.25 for postage on DVDs so if you send 2nd class it should actually only cost 66p to post.

    Actually, just realised that Amazon charge quite a hefty fee too so it's worth checking before you submit your listing how much you'll receive if it sells.

    Just wrote shopping list on MySupermarket - Sainsburys is cheapest :)

    Good morning everyone

    Goodness me, its cold here. The heating is still on and that is going to continue for the rest of the day i suspect (unless we pop out).

    went to a "do" last night. Poor turn out really, the credit crunch is clearly hitting badly. Still had quite a good time though. I did not spend any money as i made myself the designated driver so people were buying me soft drinks in return. I took £30 with me and still have £30. I will put it towards my shopping next week.

    Today/Tomoz I will/have:

    Check online banking
    Do scratchie - 50p today:j
    I got a £1 bonus yesterday for doing a survey with them too.
    Brekkie, lunch and dinner from storecupboard/freezer
    Billing (ooooohhhhh when will i learn!:rolleyes: )
    Return car to mum
    Try and work out how i can let my dd look like mika for a party this afternoon (don't ask!)
    Stay in tonight with a dvd or catch up tv.

    Hope you have a great day. Stay safe! xxx
