    :T yay great news on the ebay sales chick. Its great getting rid of stuff that clutters up your room and make money at the same time!

    I was thinking god £2.50 is cheap for chinese meal and sweeties, i must get to Asda more often, but then noticed the vouchers :D

    How's your OH coping with not smoking? My dad used the gum and that worked really well. He smoked 20+ a day and 5 months later had given up completely and never had the urge for a cig. The gum is expensive, but because my dads a diabetic he got the gum free on prescription, he needed to give up as your not meant to smoke at all.
    The very best things in life ... are free! :D

    Aww YB, well the chinese werent the best ive ever tasted! We couldnt resist, and i can never walk past Haribo at only 50p a bag!!

    Hayley, he has tried the gum before, the doctors gave him a prescription for it too months ago but not free so pointless really as the prescription was the same price as gum in the shops! lol. He gave up with the gum after a few weeks.
    He still has had a ciggy yet, but OMG his got a very short fuse and on edge needs one!

    Ive just checked my paypal balance and noticed no fee's have been taken off my ebay money. Dont they take fee's anymore then??? That will be great if so!

    I wasn't aware they'd stopped charging them, i hope they have though, they took such a high percentage.

    Has your OH tried the patches? My friend used those when she quit, they prob weren't the best, after a week she actually started licking the patch when she was craving a fag.

    Yeap his tried patches too, but they also didnt help him! :(

    Well the Ebay buyer of the tesco points receipt emailed me back saying no it didnt arrive, shes is going to open a dispute blah, blah, blah. So i sent her back her £5:confused:. At least i didnt actually loose anthing though, the receipt didnt cost me any money. So really any buyer could just claim they didnt receive there item if not posted recorded then would get a refund everytime as they always win the dispute.:confused:

    Right, ive really got to package up the parcels today ready to post tomorrow.

    Thats rubbish about he ebay buyer, i bet she did receive it, you just never know do you. I always try to send things recorded because i just don't trust people. I'd send that expensive item by special or recorded chick if you can, if thats what they paid for?!

    That is really annoying about the ebay woman. I bet she was just making it up as well, annoying people can get away with it.

    Yep the big parcel is going by 48 parcelforce. :) Thankfully!

    All the parcels are wrapped, well the ones where they have paid anyway. Just a couple left to pay.

    Also i have just joined Dooyoo, as i wanted to review and awful hair i used used recently so thought why not join them and review it on there. So i have! :) I will try and start reviewing something everyweek and reviewing others every other day.
