    All I can say is AHHHHHHHHHH! Have had a dire stomach bug since Sun am & now have a migraine (prob dehydrated). The ebay diving gear has turned into a saga as he's now paid but given an unconfirmed address...on the good side just transferred £100 from ebay to current acount & I'm still oodles in credit! Must at some stage list more stuff as have been feeling less than enthused! Another Cd sold on amazon this am so will try to go to PO later....thanks for asking though! How you doing?

    Oh no! You really are having a nightmare at the moment hun. It's so good that you're managing to keep up some of the motivation though. And you're doing so unbelievably well with all the selling. I really must take a leaf out of your book and get moving with the selling, I have so much stuff that I can get rid of! Take care hun and rest up.

    Oh unconfirmed address is no problem. My address is unconfirmed and has been for 2 years. Hasnt posed a problem for me.
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Thought I'd update...have refunded his money & waiting for him to have a rant! I've apologised but clearly explained that I cannot afford to loose that kind of money! Back to square 1...will start it at £250 though & see how it does!

    Oh blimey, that's a real shame. Keep your chin up girl, you'll get there eventually. I'm always at the end of a PM if you need to rant!

    Well I got home to the rant - he basically thought I withdrew because I didnt get enough - said I had sent a terse response so I asked him if we were reading the same email!! I had apologised and explained why I had refunded...anyway ended with me saying I was sorry he was unable to spot a genuine apology...
    On other DFW notes a good day and quite proud of myself! Am VERY excited about holiday which my lovely mum has paid for in July! Got it via quidco and cheap which was great - she was going for a more expensive one with our own pool but convinced her all we needed was cheap & cheerful family run so found one in Turkey and away we go!! £400 saved!
    DFW style also managed to get finance to agree to pay my £30 professional registration from last August (meant to be within 3m!) and didnt even have to beg!! Found out about tax for potential 2nd "job" which is looking increasingly likely as manager & senior manager have agreed I can - fingers crosssed that the BIG boss says yes!
    Then had a little shopping trip (necessities!) but still saved £4 om my pack of M&S knickers - dyed my fave comfy home ones grey - not to self DO NOT MIX WHITES & COLORS! but needed some anyway as have lost weight & they kept falling down anyway!! (too much info?!) Got home to a cheque for £3 for surveys (my first ever thanks to this site!) and £90 insurance claim for cats teeth - the max they could pay because of the ridiculous £180 excess that I signed up for! DOH! Also got my free Yorkshire tea and fabric softner!
    Have to say that I feel like a new person in may ways as my approach to spending has changed so much BUT I must be careful not to be "do you really want that" to others - which I found myself doing this am when someone wanted to get coffee (when we have it in the office but not posh coffee)!! Note 2 - get a grip, nothing worse than that! Anyway on call tonight so more money which is fab as will pay for my meal tomorrow night - am driving so will have G&T for when I get home...refused to pay £30 for taxi, much to the delight of my collegues who all get a lift!!! They love this DFW too now!!
    Anyway...this is LOOOONG...will stop! All in all a good day & £6 in £2 coins! Oh one last thing a nutter in the 40 minute post office que told me loudly, that I had nice T**ts!! while eyeing them up closely (not that you could miss them!!)..very funny in the retelling at work but nearly died in the cue! (?sp!) just thought that might make you chuccle...bless him! Had just spent the last 10 minues defending him from people being nasty about him (he cant help it after all)...think I've now made a friend for life after I agreed that it wasunfair that the police arrest him but never arrest the people who openly taunt him. Found it hard (& had to say something) when people were openly being nasty with him in earshot! SO MEAN! Anyway..rant over!
