Can anyone suggest the best place to sell paperbacks - fiction?
I have been listing on RISI but I have too many now so need to get rid of them. It would be nice if I could make a few quid

Green Metropolis has worked for me

Pigpen, I'm not surprised you were :mad: I'd think twice about showing nearest and dearest injuries like that, let alone children! Just checking to see if "twonk" is a word.

Yes, it is. It's a very useful word:D

Mrs_B

W-h-o-o-p-s.

Think I committed cardinal novice sin and allowed myself to be distracted!

I managed to:

Change the towels
Empty the airing cupboard of all the personal clothes and put away
Change the loo roll
Move the washed bath mats back to the bathroom
DECLUTTER THE PAINT TINS FROM THE BATHROOM (now in Front Bedroom, along with others, but it was a start)
Move laundry box back into the bathroom (after a year)
Fill the WM
Quick flick through the Mr B heap of papers on top of the fire and shufty some of them to the box I have created for him in the Loft Room (not my job to decide whether papers are life dependent or not - maybe that comes when I've flown a little more!)

THEN I distracted myself by opening a drawer in the Loft Room to find what c..p was in it, only to discover it contained a whole bundle of my knitting patterns and my circular needle that I spent hours searching for before Christmas - and just HAD to flick through the patterns to see what else was there!

Removed masking tape roll from Mrs Dog's mouth
Half changed the bed (just come back to find clean duvet cover)
Quick sweep of all the upstairs carpets
Decluttered 1.5 mugs of tea

Need to do another HHC shortly - but dinner has to go in the oven first!
