You removed my post and cropped it to alter its content, I find this offensive and controlled Stand up for what was done! Gary I did that, because I'd said to leave it alone. I realise it probably landed after I posted my "leave it alone" comment, so kept the positive part. Ok I rescind the “positive” part that you used to alter my meaning |

After a trip to our mini-Asda for some Lemsip Max for my ailing Mrs. P, I spent the day watching crap TV and occasionally posting on fora, while she dozed in the comfy chair. She was in no mood to tolerate my tunes, not even Faithless. I even had to make me own tea, which was an oven-ready steak pie with some beans. And I managed to burn the pie. Still, I have a tubful of Roses to get through this evening, and tomorrow is another day  |

There's a hot tub, so not completely slumming it. There is a "record player" too, but not something to write home about. Sounds like an ideal break, even with the cack record player. I didn't realise Aberdeenshire was so rugged. My only experiences of that part of the world were a few days on a farm at Skene just outside Aberdeen, Rubislaw quarry (now a lake) and getting kicked out of Aberdeen baths for bombing. All my other visits were up the west coast. Much as I love Scotland, it has gotten expensive to stay there (like everywhere in the UK I suppose). 2 years ago we were paying £150 per night in B&Bs. |

Yep I also had a clear out of excess hifi, sold everything I put up during the 2 weeks leading up to Xmas and netted myself £1750.
Only things left to sell is my pair of IA MB845SEs, hopefully shift those in the new year.

PFM usually works best for me. I'd say it was 2 or 3x more effective than the Wam. Ebay, of course. Riskier, but not much so ime, although other folks have had bad experiences. Atm I get offered 80% off seller fees on alternate long weekends, which is a stone cold bargain imo. . |

All good to know. I’ve definitely sold stuff on pfm, but I must have done it through wanted adverts. Don’t have enough posts to sell yet…
Thanks for the input though.

Yeah, they banned me because I didn't want a trade account.....I wanted to just be a human and they wouldn't let me. Even though I have NEVER traded on the Wam and didn't want to |
