I've been thinking about switching my landline phone and broadband for a while now, partly for cost reasons. We're very limited here as we can only get bog-standard broadband (no sign yet of the superfast broadband that the government's promised to roll out nationwide:mad:) and we have no cable or Sky either. I signed up with Plusnet today as I'd heard very good reports of it even though it's connected to BT in some way;). All their call centres are in UK too:j. they said everything should be up and running within 2 weeks. Feel really excited (it doesn't take much:rotfl:) now I've finally done it.


Best of all, within 20 minutes of me clicking the confirmation button a lovely £60 was in my TCB account:j. They are quick payers, the cash should be payable in 6 weeks.

Evening folks

Good news with your new bb and phone CBC - hope it works better for you, as I know how annoying it can be when you depend on it to work properly and it doesn't. Great the c/b is there already as well :j I have my fingers xd for you for t/m's sales

That's amazing January, great perseverance and hope you get it all sold. Just goes to show eh :beer: Fabulous all other money-makers as well and still only the 10th :dance:

I've had a good day for once. My cbe payment is banked, although only £19.58 ? - must be down to the exchange rate or something eh. Also have £7.20 to add from surveys today :j Have claimed £8 to paypal from the pine tree peoples but had already added that So £26.78 added today - woop-woop.

Very cold with snow showers here today. Hope you all have a fabulous weekend and stay warm and dry

Not been back long from tabletop sale but have made the time for two cups of tea (my addiction:o) before I came on here;).


Had a good but cold morning, made £81.20 profit after fees:j. Managed to sell some really nice big and heavy coffee table type books which are a nightmare to sell any other way like Amazon and eBay because of postage costs:eek:. The bulk-buyers like WBB, MusicMagpie etc don't even want them at all:(. I was given them for nothing in the first place so I made a bit of money and cleared some space too:j. Sold a mass of old cables and connectors from very long-dead hardware (no idea what they were from anyway:o) but a couple of techie guys were practically fighting over them:rotfl:


Received £5 from Pinecone today.


I hope everyone is managing to keep warm:coffee:

That's strange - I was just thinking about you and wondering how you got on and whether you were back home yet

It's really cold here as well and had to put the heating on booster. Think it's the direction of the wind as full on the front windows.

Well done with all the sales and getting shot of those large tomes. It's funny but true about one man's meat .......and all that eh.

Enjoy your cuppa - well deserved imho

Mad with myself :mad: borrowed 6 books from the library, checked the date to be returned, read it as 12th, didn't twig it was a Sunday, they should have been returned on the 2nd. £12 fine today, if I could reach around and kick my own backside I would.

Oh......you have peeked my interest :beer:

Whilst clearing the loft I have found quite a few boxes of computer cables, old hard drives and power supplies. These did belong to my son who has long moved out. I checked with him and he said just get rid of it all. It was all going to the tip but now maybe it won't be going there. I have a connector set to plug the old drives into the laptop and check what's on them. I have a secure wipe disc (from son) so can wipe them and then sell them. I didn't think people would buy IDE hard drives, but just checked sold items on ebay and I think I could do quite well

I'll leave them in the loft until I've finished listing and clearing everything I've already brought down and finished scanning the boxing up the books, DVDs and CDs to send off to the online places like WBB, MM etc.

Thanks for this tip CBC:beer:

You're very welcome:beer:

Yes, people buy all sorts of weird and wonderful tech 'bits' on eBay. Always worth checking;)


Sadly, I've no idea what my stuff belonged to:o, I can't recall ever using a lot of it and people pass on all sorts of useless things to us;). It was pretty ancient to be honest, I doubt it would fit anything reasonably modern, and I couldn't really list it as anything specific. I supposed I could have sold a job lot of unknown cables etc but the postage would have been prohibitive for buyers. I didn't have any hard drives, it was just a tangled mass of cables. I was pleased with what I got for them as they were destined for the tip otherwise.

Great going guys! I love hearing when people have managed to sell stuff like cables and unusual books....the stuff most people don't think will sell but are actually still worth valuable pennies in our pockets! Its a very rare item that doesn't have an interested party somewhere. Check EVERYTHING before binning!

Happy to report that I literally just got a sale on our baby car seat. Even better, it was collected within 30mins of us agreeing the price this evening. Very happy, as thats £42.50 after bay fees and a big space cleared under the stairs - I've been trying to shift it for 4 months!!! WOOP!

It even made OH smile - a miracle considering the rugby score :rotfl:
