Hey CAFC.
Nice to have you back.
On music magp1e depends if you just want to sell off quickly or want to make more money. On amazon cd's usually go for more, but I've only sold one there so far. I guess depends what you selling as well. Lower value cd's are better off on magpie as usually works out the same'ish as with postage an all on amazon. You need to do your research though.

yeah..... like i said, if he's happy to do it..... its up to him. its his dream job though so i dont think 100 miles will stand in the way of it....Wealth is not measured by currency0

100 miles would be around a 3 hour journey each way tho - would he do standby and callout on the job or is it just set hours? Would you not be better off moving at least half way between Darlington and Manchester - or is the whole point of moving to get back to Darlington?Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

well my sister lives in darlington so we wanted to move somewhere where we would know someone.....DH did the journey the other day and it took about 2 hours but hes going to basically stay on station during his rest period between shifts and then come home on the break between days and nights, so he'll only be staying out 2 nights a week and then every 7 weeks he gets 18 days off together...... plus the ideal is for him to eventually get transferred to Darlington, but they werent recruiting, but they are rumoured to in dec so he'll apply for there as well, spread his bets a bit etc....
good thing is we wont have to pay rent at my sisters, just pay toward food (plus economies of scale for 4 saves a bit), and no rent to pay etc....Wealth is not measured by currency0 -
feel like utter carp today.....
need to sort things out and its really bugging me nowWealth is not measured by currency0
