And today's charity shop bargain

...was a boxed set of Gossip Girl, seasons 1-3 for a fiver.

Suspect I won't find them very interesting, but if I sell them on eBay I ought to make a few quid.

Reminds me to mention that if anyone reading this is (a) in London and (b) a fan of the old series Monkey, the Age Concern shop in Praed Street has the complete run of episodes on DVD, four boxed sets at six quid a set.

If they've still got them when I pass again (which may not be for a day or two) I could try to pick them up for you, but postage would probably be several pounds.

Thanks,that would be very much appreciated - it'd still be a good deal, and another opportunity to annoy the kids by making them share my nostalgia trip...

What's the best way to get the cash to you?

Wait to see if I can get them first - I suppose PayPal, or a cheque, once I know the total including postage.

Paypal's probably easiest, if that suits. Thanks again.

OK - I walked in that way this morning.

The good news is that I got the lot for £12.

The bad news is that the reason I got the price reduced was that disk 1 (episodes 01 to 04) is missing. They're also fairly obviously well-used, but I don't think scuffed badly enough to cause problems.

If you're OK with that send me a personal message with your address and I'll try to get them in the post tomorrow - if not don't sweat it, I'll sell them on ebay.

Thanks! Have sent a message. There's no great hurry - whenever is convenient.
