    Thanks all

    DH is having a major stress out because his ebay money is showing as pending due to some new fangled thing between Ebay and Paypal, to hold the money until the buyer receives it and no dispute is filed. The buyer is being a bit of a pain anyway telling DH she wants x,y and z, but hes already pointed out the listing details and he's just having a major stress, because he doesnt want to send it, and then the buyer put in a dispute and they end up with the item and the money..

    I have tried telling him that in that case paypal will tell her she has to return the item to him before she gets her money back but he wont listen and hes having a major strop.

    Was really sick this morning so went into work to open up and my part timer is working the day on her own for me, I really hope she'll be ok, never know with bank holidays if they will be busy or not, although the weather here is really crappy so looks like it'll rain.
    Going in to close up again at 4pm and DH is driving me so he can come and collect some boxes for posting his items.

    We've decided to do the £75 in the baby fund as well, and Im hoping I ca add maybe £20 a month to it, shaving some money off the grocery budget.
    Its payday tomorrow so i think Im just going to take out the budget for the month in cash and leave it in an envelope to use for food shopping.
    And that way at the end of the month I'll know whats been saved because I'll physically have it in my hand.

    Payday tomorrow WOOHOO, looking forward to making a smack down (DH's new term for overpayment) to my I.F card. Hoping to post all my budgets on here a bit later this afternoon for you all to see and help out with... you fab bunch you xx

    Hope everyone is enjoying their BH so far xx

    afternoon

    theres a thread on the ebay board about this new crap about paypal withholding money until seller gets positive feedback! what a nitemare! whatever he does make sure he sends it recorded/special delivery so it can be traced since your buyer is being a pain! (sorry, i could rant about ebay all day!)

    had plans of being out, having a BBQ on the beach today but of course its pouring with rain. typical!

    hope you have a sick-free day x

    Thanks hun,

    I've already told him to do everything he can to cover himself, so recorded delivery etc. Think he's gna send them all tomorrow, the ones he's had payment for. Just actually makes it so ruddy difficult to sell on ebay, unless your a shop by the looks of the terms and conditions.

    Awww shame about your plans hun.... You never know the day could bighten up.
    Amazed that its already half 12 today, I feel like my days are just flying past right now. Good job too as I've got wed,thurs, and fri off work so really looking forward to a lazy day wednesday, shopping with my mum on thurs and then fri midwife appointment.

    Sick feeling has gone a bit now, but i think its because im not moving. i seem ok when im still LOL...

    Hi All

    Managed a full day at work and didnt feel too bad at all! So a good day.

    Was also given my overpayment in cash from the store as they didnt pay my payrise and they had told us we would get it. I wouldn't have minded waiting till next month but since the offer was there, took it :)

    so extra £50.31 in my pocket today.
    Spent £4.20 on food though as i was ravenous!!!


    Off now for 3 days so looking forward to having a nice relaxing time...

    Is a nice crisp £50 note as well.... took it as I know how shop staff get with £50's... so the hassle of getting them to change it will mean I wont spend it xx
