heya,
My folks have been given hundreds of books by a friend having a clear out.
They've sorted it into piles and I've put my name down provisionally for a few piles - thinking they could be sold for money for the home......
Is anyone up for these?
Steph

Have you had a look how much some of them go for on Amazon? It's very easy to set up a private sellers account and quite a painless selling process. Just type in the ISBN and it finds it for you, no need to take photos and do a write up like on Ebay. Some don't make money there and would do better at a car boot sale... but some can make quite a lot. I would offer to do it but the problem I have is that I have no storage room in house to keep them.

You've hit the nail on the head there Connie ;D Friends is still very new, we've grown very fast since we started last Oct. but still havn't got nearly as many volunteers as the well established Rescues. We've got people on here who come up with fab ideas but do not personally have the time or means to carry them out. Very few people are time rich these days, and at the moment we don't seem to have enough people who can actually carry out the ideas - it will come, the more people that join us the more chance there is of that happening. There are people beavering away for Friends (with fantastic results) but they have already used up all their spare time. I know it seems frustrating when the idea is there and nothing seems to happen - but it will - you wait and see where we are this time next year ;D
And in the meantime - if you have a few spare hours - have a read through the Events, Volunteers and Crafty Corner Sections and see how you fancy helping out - this is what we need ;D

Hi Everyone, Just to say the clock is ticking down for the Car Boot Sale on Sunday. I am planning to get to Bessemer Road with a car load of stuff and a willing friend by 7.30am to set up. Susie, will you be bringing the collecting tins and buckets and the extras (like chews and dogcoats) we sold last time from the Store or do you need me to meet you tomorrow, Saturday to pick them up? If you fancy coming along to sell, chat and promote the Dogs Home and the dogs you will be welcomed with open arms. The other stuff that is useful is a supply of carrier bags of all sizes. See you there, Rach

Thanks Rach - ignore my pm - I was thinking that we could meet up tomoz for the buckets & bits, , but fair play, I think your car is going to be a *little bit* full ;D As it's for a very good cause, I'll see you there. ;D I'l bring the rehoming book (thank you Lynne, Katie & the lean & keen rehoming team machine) and Bern's board, and some bits from the store that have a 'sell by' date ;D Is Marina coming? I was thinking we could retire to 'the boardroom' (aka Barons Court) afters for a coffee and a 'washdown'? Thanks lovely girl, you's golden S x Okay, what's the eta
