    I don't sell, but thinking we should. We hve some stuff to get rid of. (trying to get dh to sell his teenage computer game thing atm...I think''vintage'' stuff has value :rotfl::rotfl:) but I sometimes look to buy. Not as much as some of these people though. Also, I can't work paypal, so have to get dh to do it for me. :( Keeps me in check!

    We had a mammoth clear out before the place went up for sale. Most of it went to charity & the rest to the tip.

    I've never used e-bay. :o I know people who do but it always seems a lot of hassle to me.

    I'm not sure if something's going on with Paypal.
    I only use it for one subscription & the company involved sent out emails for all of us to remove the renewal option on Paypal to be able to continue receiving communications.
    Could just be that particular company has fallen out with Paypal, though. :)

    be cautious .your information is covered by paypal to be NOT passed to a 3rd party. other companies can gain £s by selling information... may not be the case with yours but i would want to know why they dont want you using paypal..???

    Welcomeback CTC how's you diddling?

    dave - Hope hens are doing good.

    rhiwfield - lovely coloured print that. You can edit your stockings.

    Alfie - A snippy call would me being all grumpy but OH phoned him & he's so diplomatic I just wanted to rip the guy's throat out.........
    Alfie - You're a very naughty girl & I am gobsmacked. It's so kind of you & I'll certainly put it to good use.

    Hope the abscess settles soon - warm salty water swished around after each meal - best thing you can do.

    Pretty crazy weather - hope all are safe.

    :rotfl:It sounds like more buying than selling goes on then.

    I do quirky, too. In fact most of my house (including inhabitants) gets described that way :D

    Glad to see you're still on this side of the North Sea, choille

    The lights keep flicking it's a wonder we still have elctrickery on - Thought the side window was coming in - what gusts - stuff is working its way to the edge of shelves - so piled stuff (ornaments & such) on the floor. The cats are disgusted at this new arrangement & are tip toeing between stuff.

    Hope its free listing this weekend as I've got sooooooooo much stuff it's half way up the windows...........There isn't a free surface = apart from high up shelf that had ornamnts on. It's gone milder but supposed to be blizzards later - oh, what high jinks.
    I hate the wind. It's a bully.

    Thanks for the tip.
    I've been very close to this particular company for more than 10 years & am in touch with others who received the same email. I know it was genuine.
    I gather it was because of problems various people were having in resubscribing a membership & receiving goods/services they were entitled to from the company that emailed us.

    There's something strange going on with the Thanks buttons. I keep thanking but the next time I look all the buttons are back.
