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.0 -

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
