    To me it's both.
    If no one wants it for free, then fair enough sell it.
    You're still doing the person who gave it to you a favour by getting rid of it for them. So long as you're up front about it, then I don't see a problem with it.

    Just a thought and I'm sorry if you already have done this but have you signed up for any of the baby clubs eg Boots Parents Club will send you out vouchers which may help with nappy costs. Most supermarkets have similar style clubs.

    Thanks L I H

    Ive looked round the house and there is nothing to sell at all.

    When we moved in december we cleared out all the clutter we had and put it on ebay and we gave a large bag of clothes to one of those door step collections that were on the news last niight.

    Thaought that it was the right thing to do but it seems it was a scam.

    Another Carboot that is a good one is the one at the Racecourse in Great Yarmouth we made a mint there last summer as its rather posh round there.

    ( one had to act posh for the morning)

    Thanks Cookie,

    I had registered on the boots parenting and the tesco parenting clubs and we get the vouchers regually.

    We shopped around for nappys and we found that sainsburys are the cheapest around here and as for baby wipes its what ever is on BOGOF

    Looked in to Avon but the whole area in the village is covered so it would mean travelling to the next villages or to the town which is then using petrol.

    Ill look in to betterware though thanks for that
