. . . . . to buy books from charity shops at, between 10p and £2 and sell them at a profit at carboot sales and on ebay?

My mum does this, and I think i'd feel bad if i'd had bought a book for less than a pound then sold it for about £40, which has happened several times.

Also she once sold a book for £80, but she may have got that one from the auctions, which she no longer goes to. She used to go to the auctions and buy boxes of books for a few pound each then sell them at a profit but when the auctioneers starting selling more expensive things, she focused on the charity shops more.

Just as well...........I, for one, don't want to know about the domestic trivialities of life filtered through the selfish mind of a 16 year old.

The part where you believe that your home-life ought to revolve around you and your whims..........and when your parents have the bare-faced cheek to disagree or act in any way other than you want, you'll come onto a website and $lag them off.
