From Trash to Cash: Dribbling a river

ooh munchki I had such a fright before waiting for DH with banging scraping and rustling at the window. then I remebered my mum and man had had a cockchafer beetle flying at and banging into their window a couple of nights ago so think it might have been that. thought it might have been a bird because of the loud taps at the window but then lots of rustling etc.
really freaked me out. lol. thought someone was in garden at first.
looked up cockchafers on the net and they are ugly brutes but renowned for banging into windows noisily and keeping doing it for a while. daft thing!!
I'd never heard of them till 2 nights ago.
going to bed in a minute as work in the morning.
Think its a good idea to wait till the rest of the painting is done before you decide and also maybe see what Toots and Joey think.
sleep well when you do.

Carnt belive time
just finished sorting a room,time is getting the better of me because of all the hassles
Now OH has a week off and has to put works van in for mot half an hours drive from here
So I will have to follow him in bring him back then take him to pick it up later, so at least 2 and a half hours out of the day 2 days before move :mad:

I am getting so sick of the lady who bought my clothes bundle insisting she has my postage reciept....I can see this all going pear shaped with ebay
She is hassling me with emails...for what a couple of £1s or whatever she thinks shes due for compensation...even though I didnt state next day delivery,there is some greedy people about
Havent heard from italian yet but i will no doubt....anymore hassle and Im jacking ebay...just worried about my paypal,OH had his restricted for less
I need it for etsy:mad:
Anybody any good at writing an email to shut her up lol

stressed now but must sleep...night

Even... just tell her that the contract with the couriers is with you not her. There is no need for her to have it. She agreed to the postage cost when she bid....etc etc.... Keep all your emails through ebay then if she does complain then ebay can read them all....

Morning everyone...

sorry I [EMAIL="bu@@ered"]bu@@ered[/EMAIL] off last night... last ever Ashes to Ashes

I've been up since 4.30 with a poorly boy, he got a tummy bug.....

Off to get some shopping, back later.

thanks mambury
I hardly slept last night thinking about it
i have told her all that but she is still insisting she have my reciept
I carnt belive her nerve, but buyers usually have the upper hand on ebay in my experience
I wouldnt care but I even added extras for her so she got the best value I could give
What a pain, I think shes trying to get postage refund which on a 2 stone box isnt a couple of quid
No where on auction was it stated next day,but I do that anyway as its only £1 more
plus if she was in such a hurry why didnt she pay straight away
she is obviously wanting to see what actual post cost so she can start
Honestly if I refund postage I might as well have give stuff to charity which would have been preferable to letting her have them for nowt!
Oh and anyway I paid the courier for the service so they wouldnt entertain her anyway Grrrrrrrrrrr got a bargin and harrasing me for nothing
Its really not fair ebay can hold your paypal account to ransom if they like
My oh has restrictions and carnt withdraw funds trhough he can send to me...doesnt make sence

seriously is anyone any good at wording this email
I wont tell you what Id like to tell her!
Points are
1.she agreed to postage when she bid
2.The auction didnt stipulate next daydelivery
3.The cost of postage includes packing and my time(I uses a bought lidded box from ikea)
4.I gave her good value and she is happy with items
5.The gripe with couriers is with me not her as i am there customer
6.when she bid there was no time frame for parcel to arrive
7.She has no need to see my invoice or claim
8.she is not entitled to a refund or compensation
9.I am trying to see if couriers will part refund and will pass any money on if i get it
10.I have been inconvienenced having to deal with this ( and her)
11.the parcel was only 2 days late,she paid fri night,I dispatched monday,recieved thursday
12.she is greedy

Ok not the last one ,but she is lol

Would be grateful if anyone would word this better
I dont want to antagonise her

Thanks

saturdays mini move for may.
thinking back to when you did strengths and weaknesses make a list of your top 3 strengths. they do not have to be specific business/ moneymaking ones.
now looking at those 3 strengths can you find any way to incorporate and utilise them more actively in your dribble to 10 k plans or in other areas of your life.
whilst improving your weaknesses has value, there is most to gain from playing to your strengths.
