Hi Iris
I would keep it - if they were careful they would not be making these mistakes... All companies account for loss/stolen/damaged/mistakes in their annual budget (i should know, i do that for a living!) .. Its very unlikely that they would trace it, unless its a very pricey item...
As LP said, put it aside for a little while, then it is yours :j

Thanks guys. That's the answer I wanted.:D Although I do feel a little bit funny about it but not enough to phone them up and tell them :rotfl:.
I dont think its traceable as the delivery note says one item. I've even phoned them up as I paid £40 for it and the price on the back says £35 apparently it's last years price and they have been labelled wrong this year. They are refunding me £5- There nowt like cheek is there!
I don't want to say what it is on here but I can't leave it too long until I sell it as its something that's needed in December so I've put the word out already that I'm selling one.I can't be bothered updating this anymore0 -
I haven't read all your thread Iris but congrats on your new baby (I'm an October baby as is DS2). I am in awe of someone who copes with 6 children, I find 2 hard enough!
I'm looking forward to following your thread.0 -
Thanks Caroline. I'm enjoying being a mummy again. 6 is a doddle to be honest. One more doesn't make a difference anymore...just more washing!
Have you got a diary too ?I can't be bothered updating this anymore0 -

Iris.. I've read some of your thread and will be ploughing through the rest later... but wow! 6 children! Well done you...
I'm amazed that anyone could run a 8 person househol and contemplate having enough money left to OP on anything. Well done you!
Congrats on the birth of little blue. There are a lot of new or soon to be mummies on these boards...

Wow at these replies and I thought that i was talking to myself for a while there. Thank you all.
Caroline your Mum has good taste! I want the tree one that they sell to for baby blue. I don't think he'll appreciate the one I got ,it's a bit girlie.
I read the end bit of your dairy today. I'll read it all later as I do like to read from the beginning. Thank you.
Ztan - I take all there spends off them and give them bread and water so i can OP!No, but seriously thank you for your kind words. I could and should try much harder but I spend too much at the moment on daft things and my food shopping is seriously overbudget with having the baby. I need to reign it back...somehow.
XS & LP - Thanks for that. It's good to get others opinions.
My DS1 just got a letter to say he hasnt got a interview for Cambridge Uni , I'm a little dispointed ( as a non uni person saying my son goes to cambridge sounds really good! :rotfl: ) but what will be will be. He's been accepted for an interview at Warwick and somewhere in Wales already so its not as if he hasn't got a place. He's first choice was Warwick so he's pleased with that. I'm so proud of him !I can't be bothered updating this anymore0 -
Well done to DS1, Whats meant to be and all that
