    But you always get one present that just stands out from the rest. Don't you? Always for the wrong reasons. Its a shame because if someone really didn't want to go to the effort of choosing a gift I'd rather they put a couple quid in the Salvation Army collection tin instead.

    Sounds a good one to me, has to have a price limit lol

    if you know what i mean.

    Just like someone could start of with shaving gel and someone could start with a tv.

    Has to be a level playing ground.

    Idea is a good one though.


    Need to get some rules set up for it, if peopel just want to keep adding suggestions in.

  • Sounds good Uni!

    Ebay etc all passing on dodgy gifts for presents.

    I have to admit we're having a credit free xmas so I took advantage of boots 3 for 2 offers in other words I am giving out loads of smellies!!! :D

    Hi everyone

    I hope you have all had a good week, mine has been busy can't wait for works christmas party to be over next wednesday, nativity play as well! Should calm down after that!

    I am managing not to spend too much money and have managed to make £28.22 on amazon selling books and dvd's so very chuffed with that.

    I hope everyone has a good weekend :)

    I gave up on ebay to sell books unless its a very rare title. Found Amazon better though after an initial burst of sales after listing about 40 books for me its gone a little quiet on the sales front.

    On amazon you don't get charged for listing unless your item is sold, and amazon tell the buyer how much postage and packaging charges there are it does not come from the seller, which is quite good as well. I find that easier as I always have bother judging how heavy an item is and how much it would cost to post.

    I gave up on ebay as I wasn't getting anywhere.
