Hi Tilly, ladies, gents
Tilly, can I pose a question/dilemma here please as you get more visitors and I'm interested in views. So, assuming you say yes....;)
I have an electrical item/gizmo. I bought it nearly 10 years ago and it's been used 6 - yes, that does say SIX - times probably in the first year I got it
The thing is, I paid £1100 for it, yes, awful I know but that's the sort of thing I used to do when confronted with gadgetry:o
Its a biometric PDA, matching foldable flat keyboard :smileyhea:smileyhea:smileyhea:happylove:happylove:happyhear and T0MT0M gps system
There are a few for sale on ebay (never any bids) and they are not worth much now e.g. even the BIN for just the PDA bit don't get any bids
The thing is, between all their boxes (all perfect and contents inside like the day they were made!) they are taking up a full black bin liner of space in my home and is clutter!
I'm never going to use it again and I want rid of the whole lot, I don't think bay of E is a goer and the postage cost for all those boxes would be tremendous and I'm not keen on collection only even assuming it would get a bid. I also can't bring myself to throw it out into the rubbish
Any suggestions please??? Is it as simple as giving to a charity shop which I am happy to do
Regards

Bit obscure this one - An Affair To Remember, Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr, when he realises what's happened:
"Oh, it's nobody's fault but my own! I was looking up... it was the nearest thing to heaven! You were there... " (obv I cheated and had to look it up :cool:)
Filling up as I write this.
OK, back to the music......
Perfect Day
Ocean Colour Scene at the start of summer
Billy Joel
Mack the Knife (not when driving though - makes me want to speed)
And from Mr GG - Delaney Had a Donkey. Love it when he serenades me :rotfl:.
PS - anyone paid anything off their mortgage recently? Just asking.
