    i think the general concensus here is that sunday evenings are best, some time between around 7.30 to 9.30. friday & saturday night finishes are to be avoided.
    TOP MONEYSAVING TIP

    Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!

    Cars are different, I would suggest that you want to end it either Sunday late or Monday. Gives potential buyers the weekend to come and view it if they wish.
