Sorry to hear about your PC at home, that's a nightmare. Do you think it's fixable?
Hope the corals survive postage ok and your earache clears up Brilliant news on the savings total though :j do you have a final figure in mind for the end of the year?

ps this is Jules :hello:I decided a namechange was prudent! Jx

Hiya hun, very prudent indeed , OH fixed the PC last night but it wasn't until quite late and by then I was in tfull box making mode! I'm really hoping that I'mm have over £1700 and nearer to £2000 by the end of Dec -that would be a massive help on my debt free mission

Hi Jody

Fingers crossed for the corals, that could turn into a nice little earner

Boo to the earache, that's horrible, hope it clears up soon xx

Ear not been too bad today, just feel so drained and tired at the moment , not been sleeping well at all. Sent 2 corals off today and have everything crossed that they arrive safe!

This stuff just seems to reproduce non stop, it's the fastest growing coral I've ever had. I think the small amount i have sold will barely dent what's in the tank!

I think I might only get an F&F on one debt and I probably have enough to make a decent F&F on it now but I don't want to empty savings just yet in case something crops up over the next 2 months.

Got more corals to sort out tonight and get ready for packing. Still haven't been paid for quite a few though so I wont be doing those until next week now. Can't wait for this week to be over, I've worked my butt off in the past 3 days and I'm quite glad I'm not working at the weekend! Think we are going to go to the fireworks display Saturday night unless it's raining and got Frankie Boyle on sunday so at least I have something to look forward to

Kepp

Where are you seeing Frankie Boyle? Have you read his autobiography? I picked it randomly off the shared shelf in Zimbabwe and thought it was very funny!

Just thought I'd let you know as the countdown till Borneo/your DFD is an exact

:j100 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!:j

Woowoo

100 days, WOW!!!!

Am very excited for both of you

gutted - and angry/stressed.

Got a message last night from an Ebayer who bought a car model....looks like the box was dropped from a great height as the screw holding the model to the plinth has sheared! Because the model then wasn't secure the mirrors and spoiler have broken off so I had to issue a full refund, not the buyers fault but annoying all the same.

Just had a message from someone who bought a piece of coral to say it's dead and there is 'one little bit' there....it was a frag so that IS a little bit, not sure whether he thinks the rest has died or his little bit has died :mad:. Have asked for pictures.

Knew this was going to happen :mad::(:mad:

Woowoo

What a nightmare Jody, I really hate it when you think you've made some cash only to watch it go straight back out again

You need to ask them to return the items to you by recorded delivery, don't accept only pictures. You don't need to refund their return postage only the value of the item plus the original postage. Also once you have the items back, claim it from Royal Mail, enclose pictures, you can get the refund form from any post office. Even if you didn't have any insurance on the items, if you have proof of postage, you can get up to £39 back from Royal Mail per item. Don't forget to put the postage on the claim form as well. xxx

The model I will claim for and already have the form for it. I can't claim for the coral because Royal Mail don't officially carry anything live and as it was delivered on time there is nothing I can do. I haven't heard back yet and I haven't been told by the other buyer that theirs was dead yet.

Now really worried that I am going to end up out of pocket. I sent another 3 off today, if they arrive dead as well then I will have to try and cancel the ones I have sold but not posted yet.

Just going to be one of those weeks I think
