On dark side they say there is a 50p off Nuncle benny's flavour burst.
Currently £1.49 in !!!!!!, BUT £1 in Sainsbobs, so possible price match and getting it for 50p remember 10 items. There are what looks like 4 types, so 4 of 10 sorted.

But why were you standing in it elaine?:rotfl::rotfl:

Because I was digging it out, then double lining it out. We kept a photo diary. I will try and find it. It is amazing seeing how big the liners were. As fast as we dug it out, the sides collapsed so it became bigger than we intended. Half a skip bigger!

Have you got the postcode for these please TM - just wondering if they're the reduced fat ones.

I think it is these ones. OOS in Sainsbury's when you check the asda ones.

Ponds



When we were moving to the house in 1971 where my Parents live now - My Dad was allowed to drive there every weekend & build a brick circular pond so we could bring our fish with us (from old pond, Gatwick Airport had bought our house so our fish had to come with us or be bulldozered)
The Sellers enjoyed the attention it got from the birds






Still going strong






Netted to stop heron & fenced to stop tortoises falling in ....

Wow that is beautiful snap :A

I could never build anything like that - mine's just going to be a hole in the ground

But here we go, after digging out the outline, OH said it looked too small - like a well-hole

So it's not circular anymore, it is sort of oval/ elliptical and bigger

Please can I ask some questions of the experienced and knowledgeable ebay sellers please .

I was just glancing through Ebay this morning and I noticed Argos click and collect as a method for buyers. It looks like its free for buyers - as opposed to getting items posted to you so they have a better (and cheaper) choice - has anyone noticed an increase of sales because of this ie people opting for click and collect rather than postage?

I would be interested to know your experiences of Argos click and collect.

Buyers only get a week to collect parcels before they get returned - it does not seem very long but as more Sainsbury get an Argos inside I suppose it will get easier for buyers.

I was pondering about what I need to sell and I was thinking of just doing free postage (adjusting the start price to include this) but maybe its better to put postage separate so the start prices are lower in view of the Argos click and collect option.
I've read the rules and regs and it says minimum of £5 start price.

Also if you sell something and the buyer opts for click and collect does the buyer take the parcel to Argos to send it off on its journey and how long do you get to do this?
Our Argos inside Sainsburys is quite a distance but we get there about twice a week but there are others I can access via the train so its a good excuse for a day out

Not tried it myself as it costs the same as royal mail and I have no Goose nearby. I can see the attraction with the ability to pick up any time within a week, but depending on buyer having a Goose nearby too. If RM don't manage to deliver peeps can collect from sorting office etc. So probably six and half dozen on your preferences.

You just post with Royal Mail as normal - buyer's delivery address
comes up as their local Argos address. I think it only applies if you have 'free postage' included in your listing, but I'm not 100% sure on that

But where does one put all the stuff one digs out?

You'll have to build a rockery or.......dig another hole to put it in:o



........o

That's an easy one, I'm putting the dug-out soil down my trousers and slowly sprinkling it around the perimeter fence

Your pond is amazing. Ours is more the natural look - it is lop sided and wonky.
