    How much is the item selling for? If it's less than £15, go for it. It costs that much to bounce a cheque in the first place.

    not sure SRM. I got an email saying

    'We've detected some unusual activity on your eBay account, and it looks like your password may have become known to a third party. In order to protect you and your eBay account we've reset your password and Secret Question '

    I went through the process and at one point it says ebay will call with an automated 4 digit number. Unfortunately their system isn't working and it just kept repeating the same number 3 times and going dead so I pulled up the live help and they did it really quickly for me.

    The drier bit of my washer drier seems to have gone on the blink, I've only used it about half a dozen times since I bought it in the autumn. Comes up with f-13 which apparently means the drier thermostat has gone. Good old Hotpoint!

    it's all sorted now. Live Chat sent me a link to ebay and I changed my password to get me back in. Did have a slight moment a minute ago though - OH asked me to get him some knee supports for his holiday and I just checked Paypal and the seller has a very Chinese sounding name and I thought - eeek - the seller had been hacked by someone in China and then got into my account but it all seems ok from the seller details.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
