    bt1 - Are you taking them to a cash for clothes place? You can get up to £1 per kilo, depending on where you take them :T

    Yes I am :) I have found somewhere local that does 60p per kilo so will keep looking for better prices! Thanks :)

    Wish it was that simple for us. Including takeaways, it's 4 times per month for us. Would prefer a combination of 2 dates or takeaways.
