Indeed! :rotfl: Ok yours was better than mine.

I would never take advantage unless there was some money in it...

... oh dear.

*puts spade down*

Want a free playstation? Just put your bank details here and put your address here and sign the form - one will be sent in the next few days

Little do they know they are signining up to a standing order :rolleyes:

Anyway, I'm not sure late night delivery of even legal stuff is viable without a car :think: but I still maintain it's a great idea

Could see how the posties do it. I think they have those messenger bags, boxes on the back, baskets at the front, trolleys that trail behind etc. Just keep your balance!

Here's a cool slideshow I just found about 'bikes at work', some of them are pretty surprising :rotfl:

Hi all,
I started selling jewellery on folksy.com at the end of November. I haven't made any sales yet but I wondered if I need to register with my local tax office within 3 months anyway? Obviously if (when hopefully) people start buying things I'll need to declare my income?
thanks for any help,

I'm trying to come up with things to sell to students at my uni (as I mentioned briefly in the £100 to £10000 thread) but I'm drawing a blank so far on specific products :think:

It is late tho so maybe I should think on it in the morning but thought I'd ask... do you think it's a good idea and are there any suggestions?

Thanks

Howdy Fruitloops,
How about a freshers survival pack? My OH went to university a couple years back, and everyone bought up the usual kettle, toaster etc so there were about 20 between 3 kitchens, but the majority didn't think of bringing up things like oven gloves, sugar, seasonings, hand soap etc (Hull university didn't supply any, in the Lawns Downs halls anyway. Maybe you could compile a male and female survival pack, and themed survival packed for the nervy fresher? Tissues, soap, spare phone chargers etc.
