    I need to send more books back - I have a growing pile sat on my table.  A small number I will keep, a few I may give to a charity shop if they look popular - but I need to shift the backlog before it gets worse.
    I have let mine build up too but 2 lots getting posted tomorrow.

    The books I get seem to all be really thick & don't fit in the post box.
    Wish they would send more DVD's!

    Worth downloading the Ziffit app and seeing if you can earn some money from the books.

    I’m finding that they’re posting 2 books together, 1 thin and 1 thick which are too thick to fit in a post box - I’m having to send them back individually.

    Don't you just pack them side by side instead of on top of each other ???
    I need to think of something new here...

    Thats what I do. You have to carefully cut open the original bag to make sure they fit.
    They send them out doubled up so that the postie can't get it through your letterbox. Sometimes they then ask you how you received it without an option ' through my letterbox'.

    Today Spectos sent me a Western - in Welsh!  Anybody here want it? 

    (It's a very thin paperback and has a glossary which makes me suspect it's intended as practice for adults who are learning Welsh.   So now I know the Welsh for cowboy...)

    I should but I always end up ripping the packaging they come in so can’t return 2 books in it.

    I’ll need to try opening the packaging better.
