    Hi there - For ebay selling - instead of taking it all to the post office then not posting it, try looking on line and using your weighing scales at home - if you go to the Royal Mails site it will tell you about postage costs per weight.

    Hope this helps
    Me, OH, grown DS, (other DS left home) and Mum (coming up 80!). Considering foster parenting. Hints and tips on saving £ always well received. Xx

    March 1st week £80 includes a new dog bed though £63 was food etc for the week.

    Greenbee - I live in Hampshire - Just - on the Wilts border, and am always on the lookout for things - as the house we've moved into has just got a plain stretch of grass and the children are manic and the dog is digging up anything I plant - grrrrrr.

    So if you'd like me to take some things off your hands - and put them in our local SSAFA (military charity) shop, just shout!

    I've got 4 [STRIKE]freecycle[/STRIKE] freegle (I'd hate anyone to think I was using the US version after all the controversy!) collections booked so far and another 5 to sort out, so I think I'm probably doing OK... the rest will go to the school or charity shop, but thanks for the offer! You must be between me & TAG on the flylady map... which we haven't really done much with since flower stopped posting... but it is still there on the FB and google groups!

    Well the floors are done downstairs, so I need to go and bag up/label the freegle stuff so that if anyone turns up while I'm not here my parents can hand out the right stuff!

    Zoe - huge hugs for today, you will be fine with so many flyladies thinking of you.

    Need to really have a go at the house this weekend as with moving Ashia I have let my own really slip. Also DD2 has got a temp job so I have lost my cleaner until Xmas (she comes in 1 day a week to help pay back some cash she owes me)

    Anyway off to work now - thank goodness it's Friday cos it's been a manic week.
