    Evenstar you have my full sympathy, I have a relative who unfortunately due to their behaviour I had to cease communication with. The thing about kids is they are clever it is unfortunate about your niece, but I guarantee that when they are old enough they will see through what is going on. Hugs and love, and I know that you will get through it xxx

    I mentioned the other day a good courier firm called parcelbee. I used them a month or so ago without problems...but apparently today they have gone bust. I really hope nobody has used them over the past couple of days, I'm so sorry if they have :(

    How long is a suitable enough time to wait for payment on an auction item on ebay? Am I just being impatient? lol It has been 3 days now since buyer won the item, I have sent a polite message and payment details and heard nothing back.

    I usually send the invoice the next day if I haven't had a payment, then leave it about 3 days and send a polite email enquiring if there's a problem with their payment - then after 4 days I raise a non-payment thingy -they often pay at this stage! But if they don't then you have to leave it a few more days - can't remember how many think it may be 7 ? before you can close the case and Ebay refunds your exit fees.

    Right, I'm back.
    Been to the shops, cupboards are half full, yay!! that's the best they get these days.
    My OH is doing her exercise dvd in the living room so I have been banished to the back room with laptop, yay. She is committed to losing weight this year after baby no.2 is following slimming world and has lost a stone in first 3 weeks.
    Mambury - excellent news on domain names, would hate to hazard a guess at your products though,lol.
    Saucy - that is terrible. I agree with others on here about photographs but from how you put it it doesn't sound ike they will have much effect. still worth a try though.
    Would like to: Retire at 54. 19yrs .Clear mortgage by 50. 16yrs. Clear Secured debts by 43. 8yrs.Clear Unsecured debt by 39. 4yrs. Gain full control of my finances by 36. 1yr.Keep my head above water. Today.

    Just taken inspiration from you lot and purchased the .com domain of my website. I'm sure it wasn't available back when I purchased the .co.uk

    So- next job try to build a homepage all by myself that links to my website... I may be a while!
    Bought my mum a box of choc seashells for mothers day- thought I was being organized getting them in advance but I've just eaten them.. Oops!

    :cry::cry::cry:
    He's pulled his hamstring, bless him.

    Thanks, everyone. OH was disgusted when he got back just now, I was asleep, lol. He has taken the bin bags but did photograph everything first, although his first conversation with his dad didn't seem to go well and we seem to be being blamed somehow?

    Got 25 articles due tomorrow night, don't want to do them but hospitals are expensive so I should really. Plus I'll have to do this place either tonight or tomorrow...at least the smell has gone, though.

    Would love to see your article, Dilli?
