sarahf - good luck with the reviews!

rufus dog - is the bakugan battle brawler sellable on eBay??

Yes it would be but I am going to give it to one of my grandsons for his birthday, just strange that it should coem through the post like it with no cover note and not a hint of where its from. Whos to complain though :T

That happened to me once with a Samsonite vanity case with a combination lock. It looked really expensive so I left it in the box for months in case anyone asked for it back!

My neighbour knocked on my door last week to ask if I'd ordered a red leather desk chair - he'd had one delivered and left in his porch. No name on the box, nothing inside to say who'd sent it.

SOLD - the highest bidder (well not really, but all gone).


I am such a twit - it is 8 x razor BLADES, not razors, sorry.

Slightly off subject here, but would anyone like the above?

MrS put them in my delivery (I didn't order them, OH has a beard!), by accident.

When I rang them they said to keep them, and I wasn't charged. So, if anyone would like these, please PM me and I'll pop them in the post. Might come in handy for a "hamper"?

Quick question for you experienced neutralers....i bought a hat to wear to a wedding (only £15) and bought it out of money saved to pay for the wedding (only a guest but I thought I would put some money buy to cover hotel, present, drinks, and anything else generally to do with the wedding) now I have decided against the hat so took it back to m&s and got a credit note (couldn't remember my pin silly me) so as I am not intending on getting another hat and I have enough in the 'saved funds' to cover the wedding costs next weekend, can I put that in my 'neutral gift pot' iyswim....

I was thinking it would be sort of like selling something I have already paid for (but I wouldn't have counted it obviously if I were buying anything else instead) and also the old me would have just kept it and not bothered to take it back...

Hi everyone, hope your all well!

Thanks for your lovely comments on my scrapbook page!:D
Jamtart6- I know i am obsessed with the alphabets, i now have 3 sets! :j

A quick question- I bought a very glittery alphabet but unlike my other glittery set, the glitter is coming off everywhere! Is there anyway to kind of seal it on???
If that makes sense.:rotfl:

Also i have lost 8lbs now! :j

I am making a mini scrapbook for a friend for xmas, so thats another present sorted and i have also already got quite a few bits to use to make it!

I have been doing some survey sites and now have nearly £7 on onepoll!
Has anyone got any recommendations for some other good survey sites?

Thanks

Don't know anything about scrapbooking, but how about a coat of clear nail varnish to seal the glitter in?

Well done on the 8lbs - keep it up!

The toy I got through the post was a Bakugan Battle Brawler. I still havent found out where it came from, I have looked on the freebie board but cant find anything there so can only think it was a prize from a competition!?!

Didnt get any reviews done on qype, will wait until the next offer comes up to make a start. Waiting for a central heating surveyor to come to tell us if we can have it put in with the Wam Front grant, the grant has been approved but we dont have any central heating at all at the moment so will have to see what they can do with the grant money as we wont have any extra to pay over the top. Will be nice to have a warm house.

Looks like Qype are going to run regular offers, as theyve done Amazon and Virgin, even if theres apromotion on you still earn the points towards the free gifts.

Good luck with the central heating, when we had ours (2yrs ago), we had a combi boiler + 2 radiators, we already had central heating but it was the back boiler type. xx

Oh i couldnt live with out my central heating but then as i live with a plumber i really couldnt be with out it it just wouldnt look good on him lol
