how about a swap shop?

Remember Noel Edmonds Saturday mornings with the multi-cloured swap shop - how about seeing if there are things we can 'swap' between us, CDs, DVDs, books, clothes, toys, playstation games etc etc.

I know it would cost postage and you wouldnt 'make' any money but it would mean we could all get something 'new' to us which in itself cheers you up. We could get our kids involved swapping toys and games and then that gives them something to look forward to also.

What does anyone think?

    Sounds great!
    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.
