Chronic flipping fatigue has been hard going this week.
Fell this morning.
Aided up by a 80 year old.
Bah.
Have found Vinted!!
Bought a Marble cardican & a marble tshirt super cheap.
Hope all turns out well
I just need to find a way back to the original search without having to search again.
My maw visited & we went out for a cheeky wee lunch.
She brought me jeans that are too big for her & will hopefully fit me!!I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.

Boo to the fall but glad you had a lovely lunch out.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4 -
Am trying to sell a bike for my friend.
They want to pay with Colssimo service.
I have googled it.
Has anyone heard of it or used it?

Just googled it - sounds like a French postal service. Sounds a bit weird and I'd say no. I'd personally only sell a bike for cash on collection or bank transfer.
Sorry you had a fall, hope you are ok. Yay to lovely lunch out though and new clothes "Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee4 -

Beanie you are so kind hearted helping your friend but my advice would be if it is going to cost more than £10 it would be cash on collection only.beanielou said:Am trying to sell a bike for my friend.

You could find yourself involved in a scam, you would lose the money your friend would lose the bike.
There are so many scammers out there.

I think @themadvix had to return something on Vinted and you have to pay the postage if you do. I've tagged her (but she is away at the moment) so she can confirm if she has a mo.Save £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £4863.32 out of £6000 after May (81.05%)
