If you have any sellable DVDs, console games, digital cameras, old mobile phones, any techy gadgets then try flogging them at Cex stores. You have to take some kind of ID to set up an account with them. If you take the offer as a store credit (it's a higher offer than cash only) you might be able to get a nice present for your son.

Cash Generator also pay for new/nearly new items like good watches, fishing gear, electricals for the home and kitchen (like unused health grills etc) so if the ex has decided to leave any of his stuff at your home...

Good luck OP

Bloody well done you! I know that will have taken a lot….but just sometimes the thinking about doing something is worse than the actual doing, so I am really glad you feel better about it now you've been. Well done, you should be proud of yourself.
Just incase anyone else is reading this thread and is in a similar position to you, how was the food bank? Were the people there nice?


OK, so your son's birthday….I think you'll be surprised at what he will be happy with. All our kids want is love, they don't really care how many boxes they have to open. How old is he? Perhaps we can think up some ways to give him a few extra treats at no cost?

I was embarrased but when i got there they was lovely made me a cuppa had a chat with me it was nice actually to talk to some one lol.If anyone is in a similar possition to me and wont go then i would say just do it its nothing to be scared of and the people are so genuine and kind

My sons birthday is a big worry to me he is 7 and a typical boy loves football,getting dirty and all that lol

Any ideas would be great x

Hi all the gadgets etc were hes and he had the police come and remove his belongings
The only other dvds i have are my sons and he watches them all .I do have my mobile phone but if i sold it then i would kind of be cut off from everything .In my home ive looked round and theres nothing i can sell i did sort dvds out and some games of his to get rid off but good job i didnt as he sent some one for them
My son has a ds but he loves that and i wouldnt sell it on him .i was hoping to find him a cheap game but as it stands i have no money at all so frustrating but ill have to manage i just feel so bad because hes not asked for anything other than a turtles figure and a game for his ds and i cant even do that .xx

what game for the ds is it?............ebay doing some very cheaply

nataliedee

He asked for moshi monsters or horrid henry if i can get it cheap enough then ill take my phone to cash convertors so he can get it
ill have a look on ebay now thanks

craigywv

go to cash converters or your local game shop, now the the fancy shop actually called game but your local dvd swap shop type, they do a swap system type arrangement ....say you leave your phone in exchange for a few games and then they add on a fee and you can buy phone back off them for a small fee ask for shop credit not cash when doing this. it will give you a chance to get sorted out with your cash and get your son a pressie

nataliedee

hi i found moshi for 9.99 brand new on ebay and horrid henry for 7 pounds
but just looked online and game are doing 5 games for 20 pound so going to see if i can get anything of my phone its really old but hopefully i get something
thanks for the idea xx

I'd personally avoid getting locked into "deals" at Cash Converters type places if it means you risk losing your phone.

If he's into football, could you go on Saturday to watch your local non-league team play? Shouldn't cost much, and if you phone in advance and say he's a Birthday Boy they might let him keep the ball or meet the players or something like that.
