    That happened to me once too.... luckily I ended up selling it for just under what I'd originally got, so I hope the same happens to you!

    Thanks Sarah
    I did notice that other sellers had had problems, so I tried to amend the listing to warn off those without feedback history, but it wouldn't let me.
    So just had to relist......nevermind I'm sure it will sell :)
  • Diary of An Englishman in Durban

    Just got transferred with work into our new home in Durban!! Now this is a
    city that knows how to live!! Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings.
    What a place! I watched the sunset from a deck chair on the verandah.
    It was beautiful. I've finally found my home. I love it here.

    September 13th:
    Really heating up. Got to 35 c today. Not a problem.
    Live in an air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car.
    What a pleasure to see the sun everyday like this.
    I'm turning into a sun worshiper.

    September 30th:
    Had the backyard landscaped with tropical plants today. Lots of palms
    and rocks.
    What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing lawn for me.
    Another scorcher today, but I love it here.

    October 10th:
    The temperature hasn't been below 30 c all week.
    How do people get used to this kind of heat?
    At least today it's kind of windy though.
    But getting used to the heat is taking longer that I expected.

    October 15th:
    Fell asleep by the pool. Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my body.
    Missed 3 days of work. What a dumb thing to do.
    I learned my lesson though.... Got to respect the ol' sun in a climate
    like this.

    October 20th:
    I missed Kitty (our cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning.
    By the time I got to the hot car for lunch, Kitty had died and swollenup
    to the size of a shopping bag and stank up the 15,000 rand leather
    upholstery.
    I told the kids that she ran away. The car now smells like Whiskas
    and cat sh*t.
    I learned my lesson though. No more pets in this heat.

    October 25th:
    The wind sucks! It feels like a giant bloody blow dryer!! And it's hot
    as hell.
    The home air-conditioner is on the blink and the AC repairman charged
    200 rand just to drive over and tell me he needed to order parts.

    October 30th:
    Been sleeping outside by the pool for 3 nights now.
    Bloody 1,450,000 rand house and we can't even go inside.
    Why did I ever come here?

    November 4th:
    It's 35 degrees C. Finally got the ol' air-conditioner fixed today.
    It cost 500 rand and gets the temperature down to 25, but this bloody
    humidity makes the house feel like it's about 30. Stupid repairman. I hate this
    stupid place.

    November 8th:
    If another wise ars*e cracks, "Hot enough for you today?" I'm going to
    strangle him.
    Bloody heat! By the time I get to work the car's radiator is boiling
    over,my clothes are soaking wet and I smell like baked cat!!

    November 9th:
    Tried to run some errands after work. Wore shorts and sat on the black
    leather seats in the ol' car. I thought my ars*e was on fire. I lost 2
    layers of flesh and all the hair on the back of my legs and my ars*e.
    Now my car smells like burnt hair, fried ars*e and baked cat.

    November 10th:
    The weather report might as well be a bloody recording. Hot and sunny,
    Hot and sunny, Hot and sunny. It's been too hot to do anything for 2
    damn months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week.
    Doesn't it ever rain in this damn place? Water rationing will be next,
    so my 20,000 rand worth of palms just might dry up and blow into the bloody
    pool.
    Even the palms can't live in this heat.

    November 14th:
    Welcome to HELL!!! The temperature got to 38 c today. Now the
    air-conditioner's gone in my car. The repairman came to fix it and said,
    "Hot enough for you today?" My wife had to spend the 2,500 rand house
    payment to bail my ars*e out of jail for assaulting the repairman.
    Bloody Durban. What kind of a sick demented idiot would want to live
    here?

    December 1st:
    WHAT????? This is the first day of Summer????
    You've got to be kidding me!

  • DS got paid on Friday but has had no internet in work so didn't transfer anything into my account until last night. He came in this morning and said "How much cash have I borrowed off you? Here's my bank card, go and draw it out"

    I take it he means the cash he's borrowed in the last week, not the total cash that he's borrowed over the years!

    So will be better off later today. Did really well on the grocery shopping yesterday and still have £12 left so may PAD that later. For now off to do some adding up and scratchies.
