  • swap shop is a good idea, think it'd work better on the mainland than it would for any mse'ers in NI though.

    You could do something on a smaller scale on your board though.

    good idea about the books.

    for the stuff like breadmaker, fondue sets, records and clothes. sell them on ebay use the profit to pay off debts, pay for hols or to buy the item you desire

    Yes Im doing that!
    Remember to add the packaging you are going to use and then weigh it.Then go here to find out the cost of posting it and write that cost in the listing so you are not paying somebody to take it away for you!

    i actually like fondues!

    Ssaver, what do you do with it? Mine is still in the wrapping from Xmas 2003!
    It came with some chocolate stuff (probably gone off now) was going to go all romantic and try some melted chocolate with fruit for valentines day (though he'll probably moan and want apple pie :rolleyes: ) but what else can I do with it?

    chocolate never goes off (within reason)! Well, I don't let it. Right, so how many chocolate fondue sets have we got to swap?!

    Talking of swapping I found some info in another thread about Freecycling, their website - https://www.freecycle.org

    You can sign up for a local one and its a bit like swapping.

    There's several such schemes already running - Freecycle has already been mentioned, and there's one for books:

    I would love a nationwide type Freecycle for smaller stuff where for the price of postage people could get stuff!
