    Oh know, I'm in print...in the Press, not the publishers. If only it were a book or book contribution I'd be chuffed!

    Have I missed something? Is there a link?

    Is she growing? She looks bigger than in the last news article?

    Why isn't the council providing the adaptions you need?

    Good luck with the fund raising.

    Moral Dilemma nice Peeps.

    Following the washing machine saga I put the old one up on ebay expecting to get a few quid if I was lucky but more wanting to save a trip to the tip. I described it as working but very noisy on the spin, a noise that has only recently started, which is all true.

    It only went and sold for £51!!! I am now feeling guilty and wondering if I could have been more clear about the condition. Thoughts?
    I think....

    From your buyer's point of view, £51 is a good price for a washing machine. If someone can only fetch from nearby they are probably delighted.

    Its Ebay, so you'll soon get complaints if they are not happy.

    Evening nice people, need your help. If any of you know about mental health issues from a practitioner standpoint can you drop me a PM please? Thanks! It's to do with what I posted over at the other place.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Hmm, if it's really not working properly, I think you have a problem, both morally and practically. What's your ebay feedback like? I'd contact the buyer, especially if he's coming from far away.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    michaels,

    Does this link help you narrow down what may be causing the washing machine problem?

    I've been Money Tipped!
    PN was right. I was in a dark and cold car park, for an hour and a quarter. Ate well, complained about temp of water (too hot) and room (too cold) but otherwise ok. The times I've been told for drop offs and collection are all wrong. The leaving time is moved later for tomorrow, till 8:45am. You just know some families won't be able to do that with work an schools. *sigh*. they so need a Pastures new.

    I was chatting to my wife's cousin about her painting. She does quite a few commissioned portraits of people's much-loved pets, and I asked her whether Damien Hirst had as much success in this field as her. It was meant as a joke, but I hope I didn't hurt her feelings?

    I am feeling ever more 'useless' on this thread as I don't know anyone at all....sorry :o In fact, I know very little about the sort of problems those that you are trying to help have. Don't know Bristol, can't offer anything beyond (()) to PN as have had zero experience in anything like she is going through..the list goes on esp with IM too...BUT Ebay feedback...might be able to help a little here. :D
    Ebay, I find, is Very stressy. Most stressful way to sell anything. We have just set up a temp one whilst a new wizzy site is sorted out in the future. Man o Man, intensive service or what?!
    With regards to the WM....
    Does it work OK? Maybe contact them, explain in full the problems and offer it for free if they collect?
