Have you got any old mobile phones or unwanted books?

This week inspired by our success at the carboot and the ching-ching of making cash, I have been mainly turning old unwanted possessions into pounds thanks in large measure to:

Tips this week!!
You can sell your old mobile phone. As we know networks commonly offer to upgrade phones, which means an estimated 80 million old phones in the UK. There is a step-by-step guide to recycling mobiles for hard cash, including a full comparison of the top 'old-mobile buying’ companies. As I have a brand new phone winging it way to me as I blog I've done the web search and for my 5yr old phone, one website will give me £11.70 or if I opt for M&S vouchers which are worth a bit more they'll send me £13. Nice. And I was just going to put it in a drawer...

And my other find is greenmetropolis.com which is a book recycling website. In 5 days I've sold three books for the good of Les Mongauloises = £9 just like that!!! Much better price that the scrooges at the carboot were willing to give! How much petrol is that boys or your dinner at a roadside cafe in Kazakhstan.
