Im getting the pony!!!! its not all finalised but i have been offered a great deal on buying him and also stables food etc! I think we will officially own him the week after christmas but im sooo excited! I bullies OH and kids into going to see him, when we got there the riding instructor shouted his name to which he neighed and came running towards us!! i have his pic on my phone but cant seem to find the cable grrrr. unless someone fancies a text and posting it for me please

Tara i have a pair here from a friend in a size 6 she spent around £90 on them and used them twice for her course. they are very cool and see through at the back. will get them out and put pics up for you if it helps?

PP great news on the toilet training, Charlie is doing very well but he will not go if i ask him. He seems to go at his own will and it works for us at the moment. not had many outings yet eeekkk!!!

How about something like 'Since the item delivered today was not satisfactory I would like to be compensated for the fact that I have had to take the day off work, at my own expense.'

Thats loads better, thank you! I added that and sent it, wish me luck. I know it was cheap and you get what you pay for, but still...

And guess who is sleeping on my brand new armchair and footstool? Not I, not OH, but 3 smug and cosy looking cats :mad: its a good job I love them!!

How far gone are you now Krystal? I read your post as "Caitlin is a b-tch" not "Caitlin is a titch" :rotfl:

:eek::eek: She's definitely not the first one!!

I'm 23 weeks now... Viable next Monday

And can you not open a dispute for the sofa and have more words via paypal?

It's so strange, I keep forgetting that Krystal is pregnant because this isn't the pregnancy thread! Or is it just me?

BMI - I saw on tv a few days/weeks back a doctor saying they have been working on a new way to calculate body mass - fat ratio! He even said that bmi is rubbish and shouldnt be used anymore...

I've got posh bathroom scales that work out your percentage body fat. I've noticed since doing boot camp, my body fat has gone down, but my weight has gone up!

And my new bread maker has come, it's this one... Cost me £20 though, brand new :D

Can I use "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" in place of butter to make a loaf? It's what my aunt bought when I asked her to pick up butter... And I asked Dave to buy some as a back up... And he forgot...

And neither of my children have eaten their tea tonight... Probably because Daddy bought crappy smiley faces... Even I wouldn't eat a crappy smiley face...

I've got that breadmaker and I love it.

I've used butter spreads instead of pure butter before and not really noticed that much difference. The crust is slightly softer but that's all really.

Charlotte refuses to eat potato faces. She got them in a restaurant once and wouldn't accept that they were potato. She ended up sharing my spicy rice with me instead.

Becles, that's awful about your trainer's daughter - talk about setting kids up for problems! I did read somewhere that you can opt out of it though when you register your child in school, as they do it to all 5 year olds *I think*.

I think you can opt out. They weigh 11 year old's too, and I could have opted out of having James weighed but it was scheduled for the week when we were on holiday in May, so I just thought he'd get missed out. They came back in June and did him though - grrr!

I also feel I am within my rights to ask for a partial refund to compensate for the inconvenience, as I took today off work for the exchange and despite this the transaction is still not complete."

I'm not keen on that bit. It's a bit too polite and reserved if you know what I mean.

I would change it to something like:

"I would like a partial refund to compensate me for taking leave from work to deal with your mistakes, and the problem has still not been resolved."

That's straight to the point and tells them exactly what you expect to happen.
