  • Morning everyone :wave:

    Sorry to hear about all your ebay troubles, it's not fair is it about the feedback, it was introduced to stop revenge negatives from the seller. The problem is it gives the buyers no reason to pay if they decide they don't want to.

    Sorted the car insurance, got heavily stung but at least I am insured when my current insurance expires. In fact the new company has glowing reviews and my old one had awful reviews, something tells me I haven't heard the last of them though. New policy is fully comp (always was too expensive for me before, it actually was cheaper to go full comp this time), free courtesy car and free windscreen repairs for a bareable sum. Only have to pay 9 months out of 12 though so that's a bit better too.

    My aim for this month and next, earn the difference back! MOT and tax due around April so want to be prepared.

    How's everyone getting on today? Does anyone know anymore on the loony situation, I dont want to do any surveys if they arent going to credit them anymore. :(

    Morning all - sorry to hear Susan isn't well xx

    Hugs to everyone else who needs them xx

    Have got up to date with surveys this morning as had a day off yesterday. I am hoping loonie give the points for the surveys soon, havent heard anything about it apart from what people on here have been saying.

    Had a few wins on wb, not big ones but stars going up gradually. I got 32b 104s 19g at the moment. Clicked on someones profile yesterday who was one of the top winners and their numbers were out of this world, had something like over 500 golds and the bronzes were in the thousands. Dont know how on earth they get that many??

    Savvy - still not being credited for any on Toluna. I'm still doing them though, in the hope that they get credited soon. It's like before Ciao took over and we had to wait weeks. Well done on the car insurance, there you go - a nice £50 cheque off dooU will sort u out, well a few of them then ;).

    Ddraig - Happy birthday for today. I know you've had a lot of things go wrong lately. Hopefully OH's car is the last of it, and you can get straight again.

    LEGENNNDDDDD - Good to see you back hun. Don't worry about DS - they all go through it, and if he hasn't stayed at your Mum's since August overnight, he was probably anxious and missing you. He'll be fine, but biting him back when he does it, doesn't help. Been there done that.

    Mswan - is your T name the same?

    Kec - so sorry things are getting worse for you hun. Is there anyone you can go to? Citizens Advise, Business Link etc? There's got to be a better solution than paying it all off on your credit card - that only solves the short term problems. Can you get anyone involved in getting the money he's owed back? Sending a big hug, I know it doesn't help much, but we are here for you. Any problems we'll listen, what's that saying, 'A problem shared is a problem halved' or something like that. I hope you feel better soon hun

    OH has just come to the door with the post, and now I've forgetten what else I read. :(

    Take care everyone, Have a good day. xxx

    Rufus you got 19 Gold - I thought you were beating me. :cool: I got 63 now. I quite like it on there. I know it'll take ages until payout, but it probably work out, that it mounts up faster than 1poll. ;)

  • Hi everyone, just wanted to update regarding vistaprint, they have replied to me today about the bad print quality of the canvas bag. Apparantly the quality of the printing was an error and they have assured me that it shouldn't look like that so they are sending me out a replacement at no extra charge, which is lovely as I wasn't looking for a replacement, I just wanted to know whether the quality I received was the quality I should have expected as these could have been brilliant presents if they had been good enough quality.

    Disney have finally replied too, after asking for the manager to call my by the end of the week and that I wanted to put in a formal complaint with regards to the missing refund. Had a lovely manager ring me to apologise that they are having problems with paypal refunds and that early next week it should be sorted and there will be a £10 voucher in the post for me too. :)

    Elysia you will have to let me know how you get on with your kindle (well deserved I may add :)) I have the sony ebook reader which is handy but a bit of a pain to use sometimes.

    Happy Birthday Ddraig!! :bdaycake:
