    This is why Im cautious about Ebay. Its sooo stressful when you're trying to make a few pennys from it.

    If its stickling a little bit of WD40 would help it. If it needs a new zip then ask her to return it.

    My DD (age 5) authoritatively and correctly told me to rub a candle along a stuck zip on her school dress last week - whilst she was wearing it, we couldn't get the darned thing off, but was very funny :)

    Silly moo - 75p and she's moaning....she should be OS and try to fix it herself before whining!
  • Graphite is the thing, she needs to colour it in with a pencil! (All those Van der Waals forces breaking).

    Bonkers, though. She's having a giraffe.

    Just wanted to say I've been following your diary, Michelle, and hope your day gets better. I think you're doing great. I have the same feelings about eBay - been trying to make a few extra MGF pennies on it and am sick to death of toing and froing to the grotty post office to post something that I have made £1.99 on! The things we do! Chin up and hope your afternoon is better!

    Hugs, Michelle. Cuddle those boys and think why you're doing this.

    I would echo that - you're at home with your boys...life's too short to stress.


    Did you double check the tax credits BTW?
