Congratulations Freespirit + family on your news!

I've just bought 4 more Christmas presents thanks to the Grabbit Board. Bought 2 each of the Molton Brown Frankincense hand lotion and Myrrh hand lotion for what worked out £10 each. Just saved myself £40 :T These will do for LO's teachers and assistants next Christmas

Hello my lovelies, Oooh I've missed you lot. Life, BD, poorly DH, major work on house and garden have caught up with me and I've had a few tough weeks Yesterday was brighter so I'm hoping to have banished the mist for at least a little while. Then today I thought of you all and realised not popping in was probably contributing to dark times, then get a message from SFAM aka Freespirit and realised a dose of Christmas is exactly what I need. Then I log in and thoughtful, loving messages (pm) are waiting for me You lot are such a tonic, I've truly missed you all xxx

It seems impossible to catch up on all I've missed so I've just read back a couple of pages. Hopefully I will catch up. Hugs to all that I've missed out and birthdays I've missed. I promise to do better in future xxx

Well in the crazy house of Nan much has been going on whilst I've mostly retired to my bed. It's now a standing joke amongst the band of merry helpers how much noise I can actually sleep through!

I'm so very, very lucky to be surrounded by such wonderful people. Good night you lovely lot. I will be back tomorrow xxx

Good Morning

Mia got me up at 5.50 to go out then went back to bed. :mad: such a hard life she leads. :rotfl:

Hello Nanamia glad your back

Mandco as Freespirit said, it is all down to where you live. I find FB easier. A lady that came last night to collect something said she has given up with EBay completely. Last year she saved herself £300 in fees. (I think she sells for a living).
I have been selling stuff quite cheaply. Obviously your market is a lot smaller, but the stuff goes quickly. I put something on the other day and it was sold and collected within 15 minutes. And to be honest if the item is big, heavy or breakable, as most of mine have been, it would be collection only on EBay, meaning your buyer would probably be local anyway.
Yesterday I sold 7 baby grows and 5 vests for £5. On eBay I would have had to start at 99p and hope they didn't go for that price.

I would say give FB a go and what doesn't sell put on Ebay.

Morning everyone

Just popping in for a quick catch up before all the hustle and bustle starts.

Lovely to see you back Nanamia - hope you are back on form soon. I'm still plodding along - into second week of SW - had to give myself a good shake and get things under control. Good result for first week so fingers crossed for Monday night WI

Have a good weekend everyone
