    I had a crap week last week :cool: didn't wanna do any selling but my DS wanted to get rid of his nike & some other branded shirts. Sold them but the postage cost are killing me!

    sold nike t/shire for £1.00 postage £3.50 (actual postage cost exc. me travel & packing time was £3.00)

    Sold lee cooper shirt £1.60 (nearly new:eek:) postage £3.75 ( actual postage cost me £3.95!):eek:

    Told him am not going to relist again as its wasting me time & either me list it on local paper or it goes to charity shop:D
    RIP my dear dear parent : Mum aged 62 (17/5/1990) & Dad aged 89 (23/1/2012)

    Bet she's running around with a shopping trolley shovelling them in.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:




    I actually nipped into a different asda this morning as only wanted a few things and my son wombled about 12 receipts. Only 3 could be done today, one for .18p one for £1.13 and one for £3.93, hope the rest are worth something as well.:rotfl:. Don't want to have to pay for my shopping after all.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Sorry hun, but you cannot charge for travel and packing time.

    Can you weigh your parcels so that you charge the correct postage so you don't lose out.

    What postage method did you use, its only £2.20 for upto 750 grams packet rate.

    Also start your prices a bit higher, don't start at £1, always start at the price you would be happy with. You can always re-list and reduce the price a little if it doesn't sell.

    Morning all. Was cloudy here but now starting to rain. Just off out to Chester for some me time for a couple of hours. Not seeing mum till this afternoon. Will treat myself to an M&S cappucino - not very MSE, but me thinks I deserve a sit down and treat. :)

    This afternoon, will be back on the paperwork, washing, ironing etc. as got a busy weekend, so need to try and catch up.

    Have a good day all and good wombling to those trying too.

    Haven't had a chance to catch up on all the posts yet, but are there any good deals with the price flop leaflet this week? Picked some leaflets up, but not had a chance to shop yet.

    hi MAGS
    not sure if this has already been answered
    but he passed away 10 days later before he could have the op.
    drivers not caught:(

    OMG, I cant believe Nadal is out of wimbledon; if Andy Murray doesn't bag that opportunity then I will lose faith in British tennis for good.

    I was watching 24 hours in A&E the other night, but fell asleep before I found out what happened to the 93 yr old man who was a victim of a hit & run. Did anyone see it? Please tell me what happened. Thanks x

    Thought I was in heaven yesterday when I wombled a bunch of sainsburys till spits - which included a brand match spit for £7.83! Why do people throw these away? Bonkers! So now I have to work out a military style shop to maximise the various extra points vouchers and cs and coupons I have and the £7.83 voucher. Hope, if all goes well to get £60 of shopping for £37 plus 2800 points. Hit and miss in Sainsburys though if you get trouted with all fins blazing. Im hopeful though!

    Hoping you all have a good day whatever you are doing and Happy B'day to baby chatt x

    hi DW
    glad post arrived safely

    as to stamp no idea
    tore it off ages ago, tried glue but worried it would fall off so tried tape, seems to work as they get delivered

    I used 1 : £10 wys £50 on T direct code : TDX-RFXW this morning to order epson cartridges ( then at the bottom it says not to be used in conjuction with any other code ):eek:

    Its cheaper than getting from ebay.

    Epson T0711 @ 6.99 x 5
    Epson T0713 @ 5.99 x 3

    Total to pay : £52.92 less £10 = £42.92 divided by 8 epson = £5.37 & because we can claim vat it only cost us £4.47 each.


    My boss gave me £10off wys £30 x 4 but can only use it instore specific ie : local area only.



    @ BL & MT - got the post thanks:beer:

    @ MT :rotfl: I didn't know you can celotape the stamp:rotfl: is it legal? It arrives anyway, just think that its bit odd. Cut out & re-tape again & again:rotfl::rotfl:

    hi J
    i tried that but after one wasn't delivered because stamp fell off i've been taping the ones already torn off.
    but started keeping the envelopes with stamps on now, so recycling even more
    think that was DWs tip about envelope

    Thanks Dr W W.

    I've never sellotaped a stamp - I usually carefully rip off the paper and then Pritt Stick it to envelope - sellotaping would be much easier!

    :rotfl:me too A
    figured like you say, it just looks like you've cut off to much tape;)

    you have to be careful with sellotaping. RM will get suss if they work out why it has been sellotaped.

    I sellotape the backs of envelopes anyway so I always cut off too much, so it overlaps the front ;)

    I've been waiting for one since 4/6 I think that was about the time they were changing things. Any advise on the correct number to call them or contact. It keeps on saying processing .
