    Morning all! Just skimmed through a few posts... some of you are such early risers! Hope everyone's days are going well! It's lovely and sunny here but the car is still iced up. I'd rather it be cloudy than sunny but freezing!

    Anyway, MUST call paypal today to check they got all my details. I'm so annoyed, I sold a few bits and bobs a few weeks ago and there's a hold on the payment. I got a call from Paypal last night telling me not to send the item as the buyer has requested a chargeback, erm hello! It was sent and recieved a month ago!!!! :mad: it's not an eBay related thing, they've actually issued a chargeback from their bank despite the fact they've recieved the goods! It was BRAND NEW and still sealed so I know there's nothing wrong with it at all. What a scum bag, probably trying to get a freebie for xmas. So I emailed all the details over to them but have to call to make sure they recieved it. Another stress added!

    Anyway here's my updated list:
