DAILY CHAT - Terrific Tuesday 22nd September 2009

Morning everyone

Couldn't see that anyone had started a thread this morning so thought I'd jump in and get the ball rolling...

Evie and I are off to playgroup this morning but we'll be back around 2pmish.

What's everyone else got planned for today?

    My day has started well :rolleyes:

    Ebay people do my head in. I sold some brand new reusable nappies. They are brand new right out of the packet. I sent them yesterday. This morning I get an email before 8am saying that the nappies had stains on them :confused: but the woman has washed and dried them and they are still stained.

    Her posty must come early :rolleyes: my washing machine takes at least an hour. I offered her a refund.

    Toto, sorry to hear that, I've been lurking on the ebay board and there seems to be lots of scammers out there, to be honest it's put me off selling there but some stuff I have can't go anywhere else.

    The Salvation Army have just been, but refused to take the sofa because it's too big - I told the woman on the phone yesterday that it's a really big square one, so why did she agree to take it? Running out of options fast now, since the new one comes on Thursday. Looks like I'll be getting ex to help me dump it outside and phoning the council to take it, the neighbours will go mad at it being there for two weeks. I'll try phoning other charities and junk shops, but doubt they'll be able to pick it up so quickly.

    Cheers Numpty, St. Judes can't take it for two weeks, and Leeds and Moortown charge to take stuff, which I can't afford right now. I've now tried all the ones listed on the council website, and they can't help, so I'm going to have to just get the council to take them to the tip, which means I'll have to keep them dry outside for two weeks, aaargh.

    Yes, seems to be fine. Has kept 2 feeds down now so hopefully that's it done with. Went to hospital with him last night on NHS24 advice and there was nothing obvious wrong with him:confused:
