    Spud have a look on facebook in your area, someone round here set up a "for sale" group and you can post photos on there and a price and people email you.....I've sold loads on my local one over the past 2 weeks so worth a look.

    I've got an irrational fear of ebay Claire, probably because I've read so many scare stories on here it put me off. It would be good if I could get to grips with it though, I have tons of stuff I could sell. I think if I had someone nearby who would sit with me while I listed some things I'd be OK.

    Spud~That is so how I feel.
    Mind you I dont even own a digital camera anymore as couldent work out what to do once I had taken the photos:rotfl::rotfl:

    Best things: The satisfaction I got from cleaning my flat...I blitzed it and sorted everything so it all has a place....bliss to the cleanliness of it :D Only needing to add £55 when I tx-ed my phone (again) to go back to a Blackberry. This one's a keeper! And it's pretty damn nice too!

    I'm weird....I just spent a 'fun' 15 minutes sorting my DVDs and books....geek!

    Best thing Bun. A man has just been round and told me to put my house up for £550 rental per month. This means a significant inflow of funds into my account over the next year, although I will have to live with other people :eek: Now to find a large room and pray for my Career Development Loan. Can you all pray for me - even the non religious ones :D
