But an out of date SEL, with 25% off the overcharged price, double the difference return and then a price protect v asda would be good eh?

That wud be the ultimate best ever......ooo the brains trying to work it out just in case!

Since Royal Mail went over to volumetric measurement I've not done much re listing on eBay as everything has to be re weighed and recalculated. But this last free weekend I managed to get 9 items revised, long slow job.

I just put them on 3 day listings and of these I sold 2 - good result.
I now offer buyers Royal Mail 1st and 2nd class -I have to figure out if things are a small or medium size according to how thick the parcel is. Also signed for is another £1.10 :eek:
I also offer courier service via collect + which is £3.99 for under 2kg
So thankfully both buyers went for courier, I use collect+
Youngest son had Wednesday afternoon free so I took him into town for haircut and dental appointment. The drop off for the parcels is a shop in town so this was ideal - going there anyway so no extra petrol or parking.
I dropped parcels off at one o'clock on wednesday. One was delivered at 7.30 and the other at 12.30 on thursday morning to different ends of the country. So both took less than 24 hours to be delivered :T
It might help that I live roughly middle of the country but even so goodness knows how much Royal Mail charge for next day delivery - before one o'clock tracked parcels.
I was quite miserable before, thinking it was the end of ebaying but it seems not, just have to adapt and survive.
Next I have to try some things with a low start price of 99p and see what happens with these

These couriers are great. I switched over on the last price change on all parcels over 750g. I vary drop off or collect from mine. I got to know the courier with hermes and come to an collection arrangement where i leave them etc Also got his mobile in case i miss him.

Hopefully youll get a nice regular courier u can do the same with and keep ebaying

Hoping the weather picks up as soon as I do Had a load of plug plants arrive from Thompson and Morgan this morning and my seeds went crazy with the sunshine last weekend. Lots of potting on needing doing

I have got some pricked out but some peppers chilli butternut squash haven't germinated yet been in nearly 3wks will give it middle of next week then re seed.

NO :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

On a serious note. Am loving the MMR debate. My DS 2 was born around the time of the autism/ MMR debate. Ironically I had him vaccinated and he turned out to be autustic. I had him vaccinated because I had measles as a toddler which left me with a squint in my. eye ( corrected by an OP as a child ) but now find out it may have damaged my eyes and caused me problems now......go figure.

Glad to hear your allotment is going well Ellie. My greenhouse took a proper battering last night fixed now and thankfully not too much plant damage

A nice little CC points booster for those who like them, pre-order the book John Whaite Bakes for £10 max (price promise applies) and earn 410 CC points. The code you need to input is on the T Direct first page on one of the scrolling adverts. Could make a nice present for someone interested in baking?

anyone know where i can find the code as it dont show for me:(
I GOOGLED IT. and found it.
made profit on book if you take into account that i get treble points for what i use them for. 410x3=1230= £12.30.
book may even be less money when it comes out. £10 at the moment.
