they have all grown so much espeacily the baby who is only 8 months but it was good to seee they are happy and so well cared for..

Reading your post rhosynbach really made me cry .Being a nan myself I could truly understand how happy you must have been when you were told you could spend time with your Grandchildren :Tand possibly on a regular basis.I really do feel that as much as they are a big part of our lives ,so are we in theirs.I have 4 grown up Grandsons and they mean so much to Nannylala:)

Hope you all keep nice and warm and have a good day

Does anyone know how long it takes BzzAgent Tosco CC points to show on your statement?

This is the response I got from Bzz
'Points are transferred quarterly and can only be seen when you receive your quarterly Tesco Clubcard statement that is mailed to you. Everything earned from January 15, 2013 to April 14th, 2013 has not transferred yet. These points will appear on your May 2013 statement.'

Good morning everyone

Thanks for this, it looks like the price change has upset it but hopefully it will settle today. It will be mid afternoon before I get out to sada

Seems to have been changing mhoc - Salmon wasn't working Mon or Tues but did yesterday for CoT. Chicken didn't work for me on Wed, when the price changed from 59p each to 50p each.

Best buy numbers depends on how many flavours are comparing at 15p today, but remember only a max of 10 each will compare.





Thanks DODO

Morning all.
Hugs to all that need them.
Off to do the books x

I only really figured out about volumetric pricing over the weekend by using ebays postal price estimator thingy and trying out the weights of differnet parcels I'd sold the previous week. It was quite a shock working it all out.

We have a myhermes parcel shop only about a mile away so its quite easy to drop parcels off there but thye also pick them up from your house, I think its only an extra 30p but you have to book a collection so its slightly longer.

But I can see some Mondays being quite complicated now, 1stly drop parcels off at the parcel shop and then to the Post Office to take the Europena parcels, letters and large letters and maybe some UK ones as well.

I am going to try offering courier as well as Royal mail 2nd class and 1st class so buyers at least have a choice.

But as for selling things for 99p start price, wardrobe clearing and clutter clearing, I can see it being hardly worth the effort - buyers will be so put off by the cost of postage. Might even be better doing a car boot.

I also had quite a few books listed on Amazon but I deactivated my list until I can get it sorted out, again only small light thin books that are under 25mm which will go as 2nd class large letter rate are worth listing so again the bigger ones will need to be either car booted or just sent to the Oxfam book bank.

My template arrived this morning and it does help to make a bit more sense of things. The crucial question is if you have sold something light but bulky like a dress can you package it - securely and so it looks lovely when it arrives at the buyers but also under the 80mm depth to be classed as a small parcel

Wish I'd known about the changes! Sold a bunch oif items on EBay for 99p - weighed them and charged exact postage cost of £5.50....took them to PO and had to pay £8 for each as prices had changed the day before :-(
Wish I'd given the lot to charity now!

However like you and I mostly sell clothes I was paying £2.70 for almost every parcel.
Perhaps I'll check out myhermes too, thanks for that!
Although there are also a few parcel companies on TCB so think when I have some spare time - now that's obviously a joke!! - I'll check them all out :-)
