    Mambury I know the feeling! but I just keep thinking of the money! I have nothing of any particular value but it is slowly being sold. Few bits will be put on if they dont sell but I have no doubt they will eventually.

    The bits I thought would be snapped up are not doing anything, the bits I thought I would be giving to freegle are already gone! Strange world.

    :eek: How can you NOT like Nickelback???? Love 'em!!

    Then again, I was also in love with Mags from A-ha :D Everyone else seemed to want Morton, so I figured I was in with a chance !!!!!

    You chose well coz Mags is ageing v well indeed ! ( still into them Amber so have latest albums ..shhhh don't tell!) whereas Morten is ageing almost to well and looks a bit odd now!! He is 51 now tho!

    I have found some brilliant price mailing bags which will be fantastic unless I need to bubble wrap the items so thank you :) Although saying that they might be a bit big for a lot of my items....hmmm...

    Do you think using old newspaper is a good idea for protecting the items im sending? Its recycling :D

    depends on what they are...if they are really breakable eg glass / ornaments then I would box, bubble wrap and paper to fill the gaps in the box.... Paper is good for filling voids and stopping bits moving around but won't do much if the item is dropped/bashed....

    pop into local supermarket and have a rummage in the fruit... sometimes the apples/pears are packed with layers of ....bubble wrap...free bubbles!!
