    Ok this is getting daft looked on dh completed listing and he has said it will go parcel 24. looked on royal mail and can't see such a service. looked on parcelforce and can only see express 24. am I being daft .

    I did a google for it and it looks like (just my opinion) that parcel 24 is now called express 24. I also typed in parcel 24 on the parcel force website and it gave me a few links to the terms and conditions. Not sure if any of that will help you however

    morning guys!
    glad u had a nice trip munchki
    and sorry to everyones OH's who are facing redundancy :( everything will be ok for us all in the end.....

    the vintage jacket sold last night for 35.00, so that covered the ebay fees this month.
    not doing totals till the very end of this month, but i think if i carry on ebaying through march the way i have been doing i should hit a grand next month!
    that would be amazing, it would be the most money i have saved ever!!!!!! it feels like a bit of a security net as with work being the way it is i will have a full months wages in savings IYKWIM. Of course the aim is not to touch this money, so the job hunting continues.....
    hopefully should here something this week (fingers crossed) from the place were i was turned down for the job i wanted, but they said they are putting me forward for something else.
    If i havent heard by thurs, exactly a week from when she last called me, i will either phone or email for an update.

    this morning i am waiting for a tescos delivery that should hopefully be here in the next 15 mins, make a banoffee pie with the ingredients coming in the tescos delivery!! and have a nosey on local bargain finder to see if there are any hiden gems!

    oh an clean the bathroom and kitchen! xx
    LBM 14/9/11. Aqua paid off!

    Thanks munchki - thats the conclusion I was comimg to as well. It costs more than he had allowed for though. Do you think it would look bad to wait til tomorrow to send when they bought saturday night. can't talk to dh til too late to send or perhaps i should just send express24 and pay the extra £5.
    Sorry for wanting so much hand holding over this. I seem to have brain freeze this morning.!!!

    Love it paula....really nice!

    Jo - I'd wait, as long as you make sure you can send it tomorrow. I am sure it will be fine.

    Right back to the ironind :(

    Personally if it was me and if the item was an expensive one etc, I would prob just pay the extra 5 pounds to do it, or perhaps you could email the buyer but think i would just pay the extra 5 and chalk it up to a learning experience and keep good feedback
