Born and bred in Buckinghamshire, in the UK.  I live with my wife Tracey and Two children. I used to work as a plumbers mate around London but when the work started to slow down, due to a recession, I found work as a labourer on a demolition site. I absolutely loved the demolition and stuck at it for numerous years.

After suffering a back injury I could no longer do any manual work and had to find another income. I started selling books and gift items to schools, nursery’s, nursing homes and offices. It was ok, but I had to tie up all my money in stock. No stock = No sales = No Income.

 Then my car started breaking down and put a major strain on my finances.  Until one cold winters day when it coughed, spluttered and died. This left me with a lot of stock that I couldn’t sell as I could no longer complete my rounds.

Dilemma, dilemma, what would I do???

I went to my computer, looked at eBay and so my story begins.
