You don't have to if its your own personal stuff that you just dont want anymore, but if you buy things with the purpose of selling them on, then you do

Oh thanks BB I have only sold old stuff of my own anyway so thats ok. I read about you downloading Turbolister is it any good and where do I find out more information please?

benbenandme

I just googled it and downloaded it, it makes listing a little bit quicker but the main thing I like is that you can list things on there and it stores them so you can upload it when you want, for example I like to start auctions on a thursday for 10 days so you get 2 weeknds in there, so this way I can list them whenever I like and then click the button on a thursday
You can do this on ebay but you have to pay 6p (I think) per listing.

I've used Turbolister for ages - much quicker:o Just got some BINs on now and have about 7 items ready on Turbolister that I'll upload to ebay tonight....nice and easy. Want the auctions to finish in the evenings, not during the day:D
That's one pile of clothes done....hope it sells now, just want rid;)

Hi Ladypink, sorry didn't see your message last night. No I didn't work yesterday but that was partly because pre-school doesn't open on a Wednesday. I took the decision fairly early not to open today as it was forecast to be so cold and think I made the right decision as N Somerset have closed all the schools anyway. Just waiting to see what happens with the schools for tomorrow - we'll know later on this afternoon.
I know down in the village, the roads are fairly clear, but up here, our road is quite icy and if I don't have to go to work, I won't.

Just got an email to say schools closed again tomorrow too :j :j Its not looking too hopeful for monday either having seen the weather forecast, so looks like nearly an extra week of holiday Now that I know I have at least 3 more days before I'm back at work I really must crack on and get some money made somehow

My eldest is off tomorrow, but youngest not happy....they're open:p So just the one with me tomorrow. I saw the forecast for Mon/Tue...not good - I'll need to do a food shop then:rolleyes:

My free bet has been credited and has been placed, so that should be £17 on its way at the weekend

We're closed again tomorrow and the advice is to check the school website on Sunday pm for Monday. Problem is that the rumours are going around a lot earlier than the website gets updated. I do feel sorry for parents who do have to work when the kids are off due to school closures and who have to arrange alternative childcare at considerable expense.

Yeah I do get that Dangers, with my school its a strange one really; we don't have much snow tbh, it is icy though, but our school isn't on main roads and is on a hill. Half the kids come in on coaches from various villages in the forest and the coach companies are not willing to drive there in these conditions. Being a secondary school though the kids are age 11-18 so may be able to be left for a while if parents really do have to go to work or can go to a friends house. However I do understand it must be a huge inconvienience for many parents. The school have been very strict about setting work for the kids via the school website, there are loads of educational websites they can log into and set tasks and then once the kids complete them the teacher can log in and mark them Its the poor kids who have exams next week that I feel more sorry for
