    Humungous hugs evenstar :-( If the buggy is faulty you dont need your receipt as it is blatently not 'fit for the purpose' Go back to the shop and give them hell hun.

    Not sure about the italian lady-isnt there a time limit on Ebay for non receipt of goods?
  • thanks mabel
    Bet italian lady knew that sure its a scam
    As for buggy havent time to go to shop which is half hour drive,it wasonly 13.99 but inconvienience factor is worse
    I am now 3 days behind with packing and OH is off next week and that is worse than no help....Id rather do it on my own,he just wants to throw things out

    Evenstar - take the buggy back to the shop and have a breakdown at the manager about it,..... he'll soon give you a refund / new one to get rid of you!!

    Erm - italy.... dodgy to post to as the posties are reknowned for pilfering...sorry! I think you might just have to refund... Send them this first

    well.... today is one of those day...

    Looks like eversheds are going to take me to court... let them and the judge will see just how much effort I have made to try and contact them...

    Egg are willing to take a reduced settlement - just need to get it approved but it will be £825 - need to get this car sold quickly!

    MBNA have said they are not willing to accept my offer as full and final, so will continue sending token payments to them.

    on the flipside - a cheque has arrived today and I need to cash it so going to go get some fresh air and do that.

    Afternoon all!

    Thankyou for the birthday wishes, I was trying to keep that one quiet!

    Mabel - It is frustrating waiting for others to do what they need to do, especially when you have nothing to occupy yourself with, but in a few months time when you are supplying the world with merkins you will look back and wish that you had time to do nothing for a while! Also, are ou smiling sweeetly? :D

    Dilli - hope you friend is ok, but also you. I know what you are saying when you do not see things moving quickly enough, but my mum says don't look forward at what you have to do, but look back and see what you have done. How far have you come in the last few months? It is easy to feel disheartened when we still have so much to do, but don't forget about what you have already achieved. Hope the face is ok now btw! x

    Cagne - hows the headaches? Hope you are feeling ok today and PMSL over the coin!

    NLID - glad you are getting to grips with the debts. Not an expert, but if the interest is still wracking up, have you looked into defaulting on purpose just to get it frozen?

    Mambury - think I have sussed out how to get eBay to do what I want, will give you a shout if it doesn't go as planned, thanks. How are things going for you? Also, do you do tongue piercing things? (not for me!)

    Evenstar - a good thing about DDs ex, but be careful, it only stands if you report him when he breaches it, same goes for DD. Sorry life is so hard for you right now, hopefully things will improve once DD is shot of the ex for good and you have moved. Everything needs to come to a head to be resolved one way or another and I think everything is doing that at once for you. Big hugs and don't worry about moaning, you need a place to vent without repercussions more than most and we are all here for you.

    Jo - mini-move is a good one. ok, here goes:

    Just for today it is ok to eat an entire packet of biscuits in one sitting
    Just for today I am not going to care what OH moans about when he comes in
    Just for today I am going to spoil the girls rotten
    Just for today I am going to wash my hair instead of the dishes
    Just for today I am not going to think about anything remotely taxing or depressing.

    Off to play hide and seek and phone a man about a fish :D

    ps. for all t he men on here, it is definately NOT OK to forget your OHs birthday, especially when she took you to Paris for yours :(
