Think im moving and I dont stitch much anymore and i wondered whether anyone wanted these.
They are heavy, so id say about £10 to post but HOURS of browsing and stitching.
The world of cross stitching, quick cross stitch etc. Some with kits attached. If anyones interested I will see how much the exact postage will be.

I wonder what my brother does. He sells books on ebay and must have to send lots of heavy parcels.

If it comes down to it I will drive over and collect them and pretend it's a day out for the kids

Lol, am supposed to be DIYing my own house but prefer to skive on mn instead!

If you could find out a rough figure for the postage, I'll figure out what would be the best plan from there.

Thanks x

Ah posts crossed. A tenner sounds fine. Even if it works out more then it's well worth it for so many mags. I love getting new cross-stitch mags. (Beginning to see why I am called anorak are you ? )
