  • Shell they were advertised for car boot/ jumble sale etc so no probs. I wouldnt do it unless it specified it. TBH though if I gave something away on freecycle then I dont actually care what they do with it cos I dont want it. My conscience wouldnt let me do that though as I would feel a bit funny about it.

  • Hi I would love to join this challenge.My three are

    1)£296.34 tsb loan
    2)£499 MBNA cc (0% deal finishes december so need to pay it off)
    3)195.61 mint cc

    Iv also got a christening to pay for before October so il have to watch all my pennies.My OH is not that great at moneysaving he moans if I overpay on cc more than minimum payment he cant see the point.Does anyone else have trouble with OH who like to spend money (he buys star wars figures etc for himself):confused:
  • the people who gave these books away must have more money than sense!!!!!!! some of them are worth a fair bit. Most will go to the car boot sale and a lot of them I want to read first and then sell. x

  • I have a few hundred books that I would love to give away.Ive sold a few on e-bay and green metropolis but I have a lot that wont shift and are taking up so much space in my shed.I would love to car boot them but I work weekends and the car boots in my area are always on Sundays.I was thinking of donating them to a local church or hospice for when they have a jumble sale (do they still exist?).I just cant put up with them any longer and its a shame to tip them
