    hi everyone. feeling really poo still here. got sent home from work last night after having a row ith my boss over being ill!!!! i'm disgusted with the place but thats enuf said on a public forum about it.

    yes jen i've just checked my email and got the £50 LAST NIGHT AT 8pm too. it was from jackpotjoy, hope you've got yours now. that was a brilliant offer.

    well done on your purcgases nicki and maria,

    really want to sleep but have to look after dd2 at the same time. off to check out acas and my rights for work.
  • Wow it's brill that you all got the voucher - I wish I'd done it now! They're only offering a £20 voucher now.

    Sorry to hear your boss is being a pain, yukki - I hope you manage to get whatever it is, sorted.

    Someone who buys daggers and other antique weaponry on ebay, has made an offer on one of my items and wants to come and collect it as they live local. I haven't accepted the offer though... why does this always happen to me? :mad: I hope he doesn't buy it now or else I dunno what I'll do :eek: :o

    I hope you feel better soon Yukki, it seems like you've been ill for a while. I'm guessing you don't want the person to buy your item because you don't want to see them, is there someone else in your house that could pass it on for you cl?

    I have good news, whilst I was out someone spent £60 on my stuff on etsy, the bad news is that it was on three bracelets so I need to make two of them now. I don't mind making them, but I have college later and already feel like there aren't enough hours in the day. Argh! At least it's another £60 for my ISA though.

  • You do well with etsy, Nichelette. Wish I had the motivation to start making stuff again!

    I was worrying about the other buyer because they have been buying some weird stuff on ebay and they are from an estate that's not particularly nice! I know they're probably harmless but all they have bought before are medeival daggers and stuff :S

    Anyway someone else local said they'll pay the full price with cash and collect tomorrow (and looking at their feedback they have done loads of local pickups), so I'll make sure my mam is in with me when they come to get it. That'll be £165 to add to my savings :D as I took it off ebay so won't have any paypal or ebay fees to pay!

    Got the rest of my exam at college tonight... does anyone know how to do subtraction in MS Excel? I'm stuck :S not sure what the proper way to do it is...

    1. =SUM(e4-e5)
    OR
    2. =E4-E5

    ?? :S

    Thanks cl, at least it worked out in the end :). I think the first way was how I was taught to use excel, but it has been years since I've used it... Good luck for later, I have college too. I hope you get your voucher Jen.

    Sorry to hear you didn't get it yet Jen :o I am not sure what to do with mine. Think i am going to save it and put it towards the new Guitar Hero but i want the band version which is £150 so could do with another couple lol.

    Jen I'm sure you'll get it just keep asking them I had an account too but used a different email and card but address was the same and mine came through. What did you play the money through on?

    Phew glad we did it last night if they're only offering £20 now.

    Nicky you do so well on Etsy I was looking at it the other day but not sure where to start with it to be honest and I haven;t got a credit card for the fees but might look into it in the new year.

    Glad the car is sorted MM

    CL what are you selling that a bloke who buys dodgy items wants from you?

    still feel poo but I am making myself rest so hopefully it'll be gone soon.
