Thanks for good wishes for my cruise xx
The only books website I've tried so far is Webuybooks.
I sold some at car boot grouped by author and some at a church fair, I have some Agatha Christie which may be worth a shot on eBay, good luck.

Thanks again Mrs C will give that I go after the school half term break!:D

This is the thread. Have a good read of first few posts, it explains a lot.

Thanks Aesop sounds like hard work this MS lark! Phew registering with HMRC would rather stick pins in my eyes. This thread was really useful thank you very much indeed

We've all made mistakes, maybe you could resell some of the stuff?

Yes i probably could - most of it was craft supplies, i only went on to buy some glitter for another project i'm working on

at least i had another sale - £5 back in and an offer of £20 on something.....though i'm trying to negotiate £25 lol!

£5.83 from Santander 123 account cashback, 10p found hidden in a box of paperwork (been there years) and 11p from Qmee.

On the work exes thing I'm claiming properly for the first time ever, mileage rates are good, I should have been claiming for years but like lots of people working their socks off in their own business, I've not taken the money out before, which many would say is stupid, plus I'm starting to get the VAT back. This is the only money I have been taking from work for a short temporary while due to fallout from the effect of me and my husband not being at work while I cared for him. I'm now entitled to a widow's pension but it is taxable and I was advised this week I would have £1,000 still to pay in tax at the end of Jan. Tax credits have been a nightmare, first they said I was an emergency case then they stopped it and I had to pay everything they'd paid me back -- I will be so glad to put all this stress behind me.

Hope to make it back on here before the end of the month, good luck all, FC I tried to PM you ref blogging links and your PM box is full, would love to let you know about sites I blog on, I used to have a blog about mental health as I worked with a charity helping people tell their story, including about debt and mental health, I wish I'd kept it up xx

50p from a nice cafe lady who didn't charge dd for a lollipop and even replaced it foc when she accidentally dropped it on the floor. Also I have received a random refund on my contact lens scheme which I had suspended. I will check it out, maybe I overpaid at some point.
