    We have loads in our house and they really freak me out. I've ordered some citronella oil to make up a detering solution :D

    Evening all :)

    ((hugs)) SS, DH annoys me when he finally comes up to bed because he HAS to put the light on (I can see enough in the dark to go to bed), he can't get into bed quietly and doesn't seem to bother whether C wakes up - because HE doesn't have to settle her back down.

    I'm a bit annoyed with an ebay seller. I bought a pair of boots on 16th September, delivery said 6-9 working days which would've been 26th-29th Sept. I actually thought that the seller had over-estimated and they would be here early. Anyway, I sent a message on 27th asking if they had been posted. No reply so sent another on 28th. The seller replied and said they had been posted, and that they were 'trying to locate them within royal mail', and to let her know if I hadn't received them by today. I sent her a message at around 1pm (our postie has always been by then) informing her that they hadn't arrived. I've STILL had no reply. She has other items for sale and seems to receive feedback regularly, which is positive. What should I do? I was thinking of waiting until tomorrow and sending her another message, then reporting item not received if still no reply?

    I don't mind spiders - they get rid of the flies and I don't like flies.

    I hate flys to. In my old flat i once pulled up the kitchen blind and there was about 30 of them and they were massive!

    Infact all insects creep me out.

    I'd probably wait till Monday before sending another message but definitely put in a claim after that if she doesn't refund and it hasn't turned up. I always send eBay things recorded delivery so that if something doesn't turn up I can provide a tracking number - I presume if she has done that then you would have to claim from Royal Mail for the item going missing.

    I think I'm frustrated because I seem to be constantly run ragged trying to keep the house in order, do a full time job, take care of the baby and maintain a social life (because it's important to me),

    SS I feel run ragged and I don't have the full time job or social life :o to worry about!

    I love my Wednesdays when V is with MIL. Even if she does come back high on Haribo! :mad: I need & love being on my own occasionally, and if it wasn't for Wednesdays, I would never be on my own. In fact, It p's me off when OH's day off is a Wednesday. (I don't mind when he's on a late on a Wednesday! :p Cos at least I still get a few hours on my own!)

    We have the most massive, hairy legged spiders in this house. But i'm brave now, I ignore them....unless they're in my bedroom.

    OH came in from work at half 4 this morning. When I spoke to him this afternoon, he told me he came in at half 4. I told him I knew, in my annoyed voice, and he said he thought he'd came in quietly.

    It sounded like he bounced through the front door, then closed it with a hammer. Pogo'd into the bathroom, did a really loud wee, flushed, taps, door again. Went into the kitchen, filled the kettle loudly, put kettle on, bounced cups around for a while, etc etc.

    Then at half five we woke up again when he bounced up the stairs, quietly :mad: climbed over the stairgate, fell into our room and slammed the door behind him, stripped off, fell into bed and farted.

    I really need to get used to these shifts. :(
