    Elasti don't worry about the tidying, my theory is it'll only be messy again in a few hours so not worth stressing :D Regards eBay I'd send them a message and tell a tiny white lie, say your OH sent the wrong item, so sorry etc, maybe offer them a partial refund or say they can return for a swap?

    Ice cream has been duly eaten, yum, now debating whether to go to the gym as I feel a lot better than I did this morning!

    British Gas are doing my head in, switched to them on dual fuel a few months ago and they didn't take a meter reading, just taken one and turns out their estimate 3 months ago for my electriticy is higher than it is now, so I'm in negative electriticy. Now I'll have to try and get NPower to reimburse me what I overpaid them, arghhhhhhhhhh.

    Forgot to add - I'm not worried about weight gain just OH got me thinking I'd done something wrong by not gaining so started googling about it!! Pretty much accepted I'll put on whatever I do but don't want to fall into the trap of overeating just because I'm pregnant :)

    Thanks i just can't believe i did it, i don't even know how i did it. I wouldn't have known either if i hadn't just gone in the the spare room to hide some things before my friend comes. My kind of tidying it more like just shoving things in places then you forget about them lol. I have completely packaged it up in all the packinging it came in, cello bag box etc what a numpty!

    Regarding weight gain my scales are broke so they are staying that way lol. My mw said i am growing well but mil said to me at the weekend she thought i had lost weight! so i always looked 5 months preggy then did i. Is she saying i was really fat before? lol
    This is my signature!

    elasti - I would be honest and say you (or you can blame OH, hehe) accidentally sent the 'used' item and offer to swap it if they are not satisfied. Negative feedback isn't good and I would do pretty much anything to avoid it...but that's me.

    Don't worry about it Elasti I've done way more stupid things on eBay in the past, been known to relist things that have sold and sell them all over again the next week, duh! & I wasn't even pregnant at the time so no excuse!!

    Just had some bedding delivered for the Moses Basket we were given (I know it's a bit early but the money was sat in Paypal goading me!!) it's lovely, it's from the Lollipop Lane range, will put it on later just to see :)
