CAFC - I think I would leave negative feedback as a warning to other buyers in the past - but mention in the feedback that you did get a refund

I've not left it yet.
I was in two minds for ages because yes I have got a refund and technically he listed no returns but then by the same token....
It wasnt as described condition wise
Significantly damaged
Not fit for intended purposes (didnt stay folded)
It was dirty and smelt.... kept in a house with animals (which no mention was made of, I know they dont have to, but it smelt like dog :mad:
and then theres all the snidey/rude emails....

No returns just means they won't accept it back if you change your mind or something - if they've deliberately missold something then they are breaking the rules and are obliged to give you a refund.

Since they obviously deliberately missold and were funny about the refund I think you should give negative.

SS - ((HUGS)) hun. Is husband ill again (other than the obvious cold and cough) - I just seem to remember the last time he was being a pig (in the nicest possible way) it turned out he was suffering.



Pleased to report that MIL made it back from the Isle of Wight

Aless, 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), while Husband does his day job and a few of the minor householdy things and complains that he's exhausted. I'm annoyed that I feel obliged by his illness to make allowances for him and cut him tons of slack but lots of it simply come down to his being disorganised and not getting things done till they become critical, and then he complains because he has *such* a critical and stressful thing to do. I'm exhausted from being up for an hour or so with Molly almost every night, I'm fuming from last night and his multiple wakeups because of his coughing in my face, then waking Molly, then shouting something at the computer which woke me again, and then him telling me *I* had to stop waking *him*. I'm hurt that he suggested I need help to be a good mother and that he talked down to me in the street yesterday and in front of my friend today, and I an utterly outraged that he has decided not to modify his language in the slightest around Molly because "she'll learn it anyway", whereas my position is that if she learns the F word at 7 or 8 she'll know it's not to be used in certain situations, but if she learns it from her father it'll just be a word.

And I am about to white all that out because I am ranting. But thank you for listening, I feel better.

[Edited: MFD, I've no idea because he didn't say, I know he's tired and ill with the cough but not if he's otherwise sick - he was just an !!!!! today and I'm hurt and angry on top of being really tired.]

Wow, I thought it was really late and I was pointlessly staying up till all hours but it is only 9:15 :rotfl. Maybe I'll go to bed. Molly's asleep already and Husband is in there, hopefully he will !!!!!! and leave me alone

Goodnight lovely ladies and Bruno if he's lurking.

Sugar - I feel quite shocked by some of that and want to give you even bigger *hugs*, it sounds like you could do with an early night to catch up on some much needed sleep.

Lurking I am. Poor SS, big hugs getting an early night might help you a teeny bit in the short-term.

Edit: I feel like paid help would be giving in

If i wrote this what would you say to me??? Having a day to myself is the best thing i have ever done, a few hours with no children and being able to get things done or wander around the shops chills me out and calms me down for their return.

Being a mum is hard work esp if you are working and not getting a full night sleep with a waking and feeding baby. Why not start with a few hours and then build it up to a day? do something nice for yourself one week and the house the next that way it will feel that you are achieving something and also having fun and time to yourself.

Exactamundo-dude!

It's taken years and a few major meltdowns for DH to finally sleep on the couch if he's ill. Think it happened when he realised that I was more sympathetic and made him more tea if I had a full nights sleep (well... sleep where it's just the kids waking me up) rather than him keeping me away and then I hate him the next day.

And it's not giving in, it's being a growd up

We're all just mummies (or daddies) trying to survive and do the best by our little ones.
