Sell your unwanted GOLD (UK Only) - BEST PRICE!
If you have some broken or unwanted gold jewellery, don't sell it to a jewellers shop or car boot trader or one of those firms that advertise on TV - send direct to the dealer and get a lot more money for it! Please use this link for an honest and respectable UK Gold dealer - just get a quote, send it off via Special Delivery and they will credit your bank account or PayPal account the next day.
They offer the BEST PRICE for gold and I highly recommend them!
I was offered £80 by my local jeweller and £100 by a cash-for-gold market stall, HattonGarden gave me £120 and are very honest and open about their prices.
Do you have any gold sovereigns? You may be surprised at what they are worth! A half-sovereign weighs 4g and a full sovereign 8g. Do you have any old silver or pre-1947 silver coins - check their value on the website now - you will be surprised!

I use DropBox all the time and highly recommend it and it is free! Install a DropBox folder onto your Desktop and anything you put in the DropBox folder is automatically copied to the 'Cloud' (i.e. the DropBox company file servers). If you also have a DropBox folder on your Office PC's Desktop then everything will appear in there too when you login to your Windows desktop and also any other PC/notebook you have. No more emailing files to yourself - it's all there in your DropBox folder! Just use the folder as your 'work' folder for any documents or software you are currently working on and they will always be available wherever you are. Do you write software? Just use a DropBox folder as your work folder. Then if your hard disk accidentally gets destroyed, you hard work is still in the 'cloud' (DropBox servers) - when you re-install Windows and re-install DropBox, it will all come back! You can also restore earlier versions too.
It is ideal for sending large files to colleagues too - just email a link to the file and they can download.
Use this link to register and get an extra 250MB of storage free or watch a video to show you how useful it is. I use this every day and I highly recommend it!
Just be aware that if you use this at home, it can increase your 'download usage' significantly if you make large changes to the DropBox folder on a daily basis. This can eat into your ISP's monthly download allowance without you being aware of it!
