    Go girl! You're sounding Uber-positive!
    Extra MSE points for reusing a stamp :T:T:T

    I really must get back to Amazon - though think I've sold all my most profitable books. Have you used Green Metropolis BTD? I was thinking of them for novels etc

    Well done on your mini-goals: think I need to set some as the only type I seem capable of setting/scoring at the minute are own goals! :rotfl:

    My aunt brought her gold into a pawn brokers and got them to weigh it. She then sold it to, I think, Hatten Garden, and was very pleased with amount, which offered more than any other buyer. She just sold odd and broken stuff and made over £100
