Wanted some advise from the fountain of knowledge that is the mighty Aesop :eek: :rotfl: - I have my eye on a 3 door assembled wardrobe but I have a feeling my staircase will be too narrow for it to be manouvered around a corner. Do you reckon they would dismantle it? Im sure they have this problem all the time...

if it is assembled, you will need to ask the shop if they can sell it disassembled and how much they would charge to put it back together in your bedroom for you.

If they say no, ask if they can sell it disassembled and check out netmums.com (not today, they are down for maintenance) for a local handy man.

Afternoon all!! Hope you are having a nice day - its lovely and sunny here (i should really have been doing a carboot but had migraine so hiding in the dark today! )

I did a few calculations for ebay sales and have £7.62 profit to add so far - have another 15 things to do calculations for but not doing too much brain work today.

I also got a £3 payment from My Surveys through so thats another wee £10.62 to add

Oh and i found a 1 euro coin yesterday......not quite sure what to do with that :rotfl:

My total so far then is a whopping £612.56 I'm beginning to wonder what on earth i had been doing before starting this challenge :rotfl:

see if your bank will let you put into your account. If not some charities collect euros and foreign coins.

LOl, no I don't but I do read a lot (well used to) and am a fountain of useless knowledge.

well if you read the thread,... I posted a lot of drivel with Raven's help to achieve it

Just posted something so have £20.84 to add (Amazon sale)... sold within 8 hours! It was ranked at around 33,000 so really didn't expect it to sell that quickly!

I've been cleaning and tidying today and have found out a few things for eBay/Amazon. I put a few bits on Amazon last night and am wondering if I should ebay them as well to guarantee that they'll go within a week or so, rather than lingering for weeks on end like some Amazon items do... hmmm.

Right, I'm off to paint the bathroom and will get on with selling this evening.

Its the £190 one that got scrapped. The £500 one is still available as long as its your first baby. You have to be on certain benefits (income support etc) OR a high rate of tax credits, the latter is what we qualified on hth
