    The cynic in me says the 'little one' may be a ploy to make you feel guilty ...

    I'm sure I remember someone else being guilt-tripped on here by someone saying their child would be disappointed; think it turned out to be a scam; not saying yours will but just not to worry about the 'little one' thing, maybe best to take Ebay buyers with a pinch of salt? Just thinking it might be a common ploy as I've heard it mentioned twice now on this thread alone...

    evening all, hope you are all enjoying the good weather.
    agree bl**dy ebay have yet another non payer, not a lot of money but could do without the carp!

    Am hoping not so warm on Sunday as doing a bit of hillwalking - getting in training for my 103km walk in July (must be off my head!) Em any tips? my walk is over moors and old drovers roads and in true MSE style we will be wild camping - the joys of living in Scotland you can basically camp anywhere you like! Local mountaineering shop is giving us a loan of an ultra lightweight tent and any other equipment we need so should only have to buy boots and other bits and pieces, got my Avon Skin so Soft already - the only thing that works even the marines use it on excercise, beats any mozzie repellant, helluva lot cheaper too.
    must be full moon right enough, my kids are "DOING MY BLO0DY HEAD IN" ready to loose it big time, so much so am sitting here close to tears, ungrateful little sods, sounds terrible but you would think i was asking them to jump off the cliffs if i ask them to lift a plate never mind clean their rooms - sorry ranting but could quite easily pack my bags and walk! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh

    never mind tomorrow is another day! suppose better go and tidy up and do the black bag dance- be 6.30 before i know it (long lie tomorrow!!) will have to have a look at Flylady for some tips,
    have a good night, hope you can sleep with the heat

    For me it wasn't cynical as i listed it with 18+ (adult themed) games and they asked me not to include them though as their child wasn't of the age to play them so pretty much tallys for me.
