    aunty crafty it is easy to set up a seller's account with Amazon and then listing the books is a doddle! Just be sure to check what other second hand ones are going for so that you pitch yours right!Non-fiction can be very profitable. I was selling about 1 a week.
    pooh awh how lovely of you to take in the wee puss - hope she makes a good recovery and the dogs and her get on ok. 400 books listed WOW!!!! I am impressed!!!!:T:T:T
    soappie oh dear! And I had better watch myself if you are having posts deleted! - I tend to nag/bully a bit too much soemtimes!
    hex (((hugs))) to your poor DH and his sore back and a big (((hug))) for him for wanting to help even though its not up to your standards:D extra stamina vibes for you honey - I know you will do it but try not to burn yourself out in the process!

    have had my HH to myself - i sat out in the sun and read 2 chapters of my book - this relaxing thing is beginning to appeal - i hope we have a good summer and I can live outside:rotfl:
