    Right another update... need to send somethings this afternoon, so postage might take £10 or so off this total, but I'll change it later :) ..

    9.66 Ciao
    5p found
    31.15 profit from Amazon
    383.61 profit from Ebay so far...
    So total - £424.47!!:D Feeling very happy. Have sold a lot on Ebay now though, so the next part will be more difficult I think.

    Got some fireplaces on now and a baby cooker so I hope those sell well. Sis in law might give us her saab wind deflector to sell (other sis in law already gave us her one and I've sold it).

    Good luck all.

  • Well done all :T

    Just posted off a giant lava lamp... terrified that it's going to get broken on the way to it's new home....rather overdid it with the bubblewrap! Made £12 for it though.

    That's it for ebay sales this week, so will have to search for more change down the backs of the sofas :D

    Just had a look on the garden section of this site and had an idea.

    one of the posts said you can get cheap black buckets usually used by florists for storing cut flowers in now remember this is only an idea and I don't know if it will work...
    take a bucket put some holes in it carefully (and if it has a lip on it this will be easier) tie some string/rope around the top and make it look like the chain on a hanging basket.
    hope this is a good idea, if not freecycle/ebay? for proper hanging baskets.

    I have it on good authority that Asda's flower buckets get sent through the crusher. It would be worth asking for some to be put to one side for you.

  • AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Okay, COMPLETELY off-topic, but I have to rant somewhere, and I spend approximately 98% of my life on this thread, so...

    Recently had a bit of Diet Flora (the margariney type thing), and now my mum tells me she just read in teeny-weeny letters that its not suitable for vegetarians, gggrrrrrrrr. Flora Pro-Activ IS suitable, so I thought it would be fine.

    The STOOPIDEST things that you would think are veggie, aren't. And vice versa.


    Roast Ox crisps are veggie. Cheese ones aren't. (although more are nowadays, but still....). Pre-made jelly is veggie. Powdered isn't. Quality Street are veggie. Celebration's aren't. Is it only a matter of time before bacon is veggie and bananas aren't????
  • curly sausages would be ok! :)
    finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!

  • must be tough woa! Its amazing what meat products you find in things! Im afraid my veggie soup isnt vegetarian either as I use chicken stock, but I promise to leave it out if I ever cook it for you!
