    let me know how you get on with music magpie, was going to use them but have heard mixed things . . . .

    When I moved in with the OH we sent any duplicate DVDs and old CDs to Music Magpie and didn't have any problems. Worth checking on cex website too as there's some differences in what they'll accept and what they'll pay, worth checking them both out and comparing what you'll get/be able to send to each for maximum pennies :money:

    Thanks for the info Catty. I had a quick look on cex, I'm at work :shhh: So I'll have a proper look at home but looks like I should be able to make a few extra pounds from the few DVD's which are surplus to requirement :T

    Hi everyone. Hope you have all had a good DFW day.

    I'm working away again today and tomorrow, but thankfully its only York, and not Germany this time.

    Today is an NSD for me, as I can claim my meals on expenses, and I wont be having anything tonight that I cant claim for :j

    I'll also make sure that I raid my hotel room of all of its toiletries, tea, coffee and sugar to bring home. I'm hoping that there may be a biscuit or two as well :D
    Debt free since December 2015. It can be done

    Hello :j

    Still feeling weird after US flight.Didn't get to sleep till 2am this morning,and up again at 6 :eek:

    However, I have:

    Made everybody laugh at work as I haven't made much sense :o :rotfl:

    Seen to chickens and dogs

    Sorted out bulk of expenses for overseas trip


    Not NSD as had to pay for new season ticket :eek: and the usual car park at the station :(


    HM meals from stores, including soup for lunch

    Checked online banking - as expected

    Received free energy monitor from Npower :j. I was going to ebay my Owl monitor, but discovered that the little plastic bits that keep the battery cover in place are broken, so can't :mad:. It needs new batteries, (and a little bit of tape) but if anyone is prepared to pay for the postage, and would like to give it a new home, they are welcome. Just PM me, first come first served!

    Off for a bath and bed (and hopefully sleep!)
