    Ooh lots of things to reply to. I totally didn't collect quotes :o

    Susan, doc didn't really say why other than eczema/hayfever/asthma all being linked..? Hopefully it won't come to that, he hasn't suffered with hayfever vey much and he's starting to grow out of the eczema.

    My mother used to do my head in asking to buy stuff on ebay for her, so in the end i just gave her my account and made a new one for myself lol. She's got more feedback than me now. I used her account to sell the iCandy pushchair cos i didn't want buyers seeing that i'd just paid less for it :D (i didn't make a profit, but even after fees etc i broke even). I'm still anxiously waiting for feedback cos she'll go mental if i get her a negative :eek: She has 527 at 100%. I also sold the Quinny raincover and the Quinny buyer keeps leaving message on my landline asking for it :eek: Whoops. :o

    I rang the council after my last rang about rebanding, and the swap list... I'm waiting on 2 diff departments ringing me back today (apparently), so i'll see what the outcome is of that. I'm gonna have to ring HO and tell her to come and do her stupidly ridiculously pointless experiment... nothing's happening atm and they've been at it all day as usual and something needs doing.

    Sugar :wave: :D If you can find the time that would be amazing :A Thank you xxx

    (i know more people said stuff, can't remember..)

    I'm looking at baby clothes bundles on eBay as her 3-6m stuff is getting too small and i have nothing in bigger sizes... But whyyyyyyyyyy do they all have loads of denim??? I don't like denim, i like pink :D, but every bundle is mostly jeans. I just want plain trousers and basic stuff, not dresses or denim! And i don't want to pay £10+ for "Early Days" stuff, we all know that's Primark don't try to disguise it!!

    Raaaats. I was going to hang laundry out and now the heavens look like they are about to erupt. Also, I need to go drop off about 30 Avon brochures this afternoon and seriously hope it doesn't rain! :eek:

    I need to make snack cakes and DH wants bagels, but I seriously don't feel like doing anything in the kitchen. And deffo don't feel like hanging up the washing. *in lazy bum mode*

    Beenie, glad you got the Joolz you wanted in the end. I can't believe Amber has a tooth! :eek:

    :rotfl: :D Yeah but mine's black :(

    I was just pricing up the parasols out of curiosity :whistle: They work out £16 there and £30 here so with postage wouldn't be worth the bother.

    Oh !!!!!!. So i sold the Apple and clearly said in the item description that the foam was missing but could be replaced.

    She's emailed me saying she's disappointed to find out from iCandy that it would cost £25 to have done properly and can she return for a full refund???

    Surely it was up to her to find this out before she bought it, my listing was clear and the photo would have shown there was no foam! Unlike my seller who failed to mention it *at all*.

    Omg i'm gonna get a neg on my mam's account :eek::eek:

    It just seems rather scaremongering for Dr to say something like that without any particular reason.

    I didn't know that. (I'm sure everyone else does though.)
