Have you tried selling via facebook local market place? No selling fees and as local no postage cash on collection.
I have done tuna, and more specifically selling groups for my area on Facebook. Worked well for some things, like DS2’s bike, but not for others. I do a mix of FB and eBay depending on what it is I want to sell. XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
Best win so far - holiday to Florida0 -
We met up with friends yesterday. It was absolutely lashing down so we ended up having a pub lunch. They also did softplay but we were able to swerve that as our boys are too big now. Spent £20.18 on food and drinks as they had a deal on main meals. Tried to sign up to their loyalty card to save a further £5, but the email didn’t arrive until today
. Bit late then!
Another house/garden day today. Our garden currently has about 8 kids in from the neighbourhood. Love hearing them all giggle and having fun.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Don’t think it’s actually stopped raining here in the last 4 days. Think we will get washed away in the Lakes next week!!
On Thursday DS2 was at the Dental Hospital for his final extraction. No worries this time as last time went fine. Except this time the gas made him ill. He wasn’t too well in the hospital, and then he threw up in the night
. So I had his bed to strip and wash (and dry, no mean feat in the rain with no tumble dryer) as well as get clothes washed and ironed for our little holiday. It’s been like a Chinese Laundrette in here! DS2 was much better the next day though :T.
Friday night the 4 of us were at an Engagement Party. It was just at the social club at the top of the road so we walked up and I had a few gins. We spent £35 which was about double what I expected for the club :eek:. We haven’t spent anything else in days though.
DH and DS1 had a BIG fall out earlier. The dust is only just beginning to settle. Head injury anger plus hormone anger equals explosive times

Hi Lucky
Not sure when you're away but hope you all have a lovely time and the weather perks up for you.
Hubby and DS get on really well but even so there are moments recently where both seem to be flexing their muscles with each other :rotfl: I guess it's a man thingxx

That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy0 -
Mr SA and DS used to clash too. Funny that Mr SA's head injury has made him much more placid, it's obviously the part of the brain affected. It's not stopped him being a pain in the !!! though.
Boo to the salon, terrible customer service and such a shame when you rarely treat yourself
Hope you're enjoying your hols xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
Just a thought, maybe contact the manager of the salon and explain how you felt. Say that you just wanted to give them the feedback rather than leave a poor review as you appreciate how frustrating that must be for them. Have to admit I generally just vote with my feet though.My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese

Hi all! Home from the Lakes and we had a lovely time. It rained off and on, but we had some nice weather in between too. Lots of memories made and photos taken (sorry to those of you on my FB for all the photo spam lol). MiL was very kind and paid for most things, which was very helpful as we now have about £10 left to last until Monday!!
I’ve won £100 worth of vouchers for a family day out :T.
6 years today since I lost the twins. Can’t believe it’s been that long XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
