Hi DFW

I thought you could reply to negative feedback so customers could see you have responded, maybe worth looking at.

Has the doctor or nurse checked your Iron levels? I would book an apointment with the nurse they normally listen more and get some blood tests done.

Hope you all enjoy the zoo.

Happy x

Hi DFW :wave:

I have been following your diary recently and I hope you and the family are feeling better soon. There is nothing worse than being ill and having children who are unwell also.

How was the zoo? Did you go? I'm hoping that you were able to go and that a good time was had by all.

Regarding the ebay feedback issue. If you go to the help pages and enter in the search box about replying to feedback, it will show a link to the page to allow you to enter this. It's not nice when you get them and I know what it's like.

Keep up the good work, especially with the NSD's.

Thanks Bonnigton I thought I had seen replys to negative feedback before but didnt know how to do it.

How was the zoo dfw? are the kids better?

oh wow i feel all popular today seeing so many people on my diary :kisses:

Well i got to the zoo yesterday only spent a couple of hours out but it did us all the world of good, kids were a lot happier after feeding the ducks & playing in the park there.....i did try to tell them they could see the other animals too but they were honestly only interested in seeing mrs Duck :rotfl:

Got home to dh wanting to go straight out and get drunk :undecided so i told him to go off to his mates by himself (ah well kind of by himself....hubby avec kiddies ) I got myself a nap in and was woken (rather rudely) by hubby calling a million times grrr! So i joined him at friends house (one opposite ours lol) and there he proceeded to tell me what a hard week he'd had and could we have a chinese :wall: so in front of friends i tried to discreetly say, 'darling we are broke, we don't have a pot to p1ss in and yet every day you want a take away. sorry but no' that went down rather well but then he wanted to go onto another friends house! So i told him to go off by himself and i would take kids home (was 7pm by now) but he lamely followed behind me making me look like i was leading him off to a gas chamber or something

I got out of the take away though, hubby then fell asleep on couch. I made shepherd's pie out of some left over bolognase! Dinner done and everyone (including hubby) was in bed by 8.30!

This morning he promised the kids that they could go to the beach. I decided to stay behind (someone please remind me why) to tidy up. So far i've bleached the bathroom, sorted out the clothes that have so far been washed during the week and that i have just thrown in a wash basket into the hall way in the hope the cleaning fairies would visit (they didn't). Have at least 3 more washes to do ....i've cleaned kitchen and cooker. Need to do front room then i want to get on with taking pics for ebay and uploading them. I may as well do it all whilst i have the energy!

happy...I had all my bloods taken a while ago, iron was low, potassium was low and so were my white platelets (???) since then nothing has improved with my constant exhaustion. It goes like this, i have 3 days where i'm 'normal' can get about fine doing things, then I might have a day where i have a little more than normal energy and i always do too much (ahem, like today) and then i pay for it for about 4 days after where i can barely get off the couch. But i think to myself, if i don't take advantage of the energy when i have it then my house would be a tip, nothing would get done in my life etc etc so i do it again and again to myself. My mum & sister want me to be tested for fibromalgyia (sp?) as they both have it as does my grandma, it starts off like this apparantly bouts of constant fatigue, and when i do too much, lots of pain and aches so i can't do anything for days......but i kinda don't want to be diagnosed with that and then live a self-fufilled prophecy that i AM ill and that It won't go away because it can't be cured. So i haven't asked dr.....and i'm sure she'd give me a sticker that said 'hypochondriac' and a lolly and send me on my way anyways :think:

And hello bonnington.....as for the feedback...i knew you cuold reply but didn't know how so thank you I am going to do that. It's made me really quite angry as i went on her selling page and she sells stuff from said shop for like £10 a go and you can clearly see they are all second hand and the fact she only paid me 99p i'm quite glad she can't re-sell....she hasn't opened a case for a refund so i'm assuming she won't now??? If she has already left bad feedback? Not really sure though as i've never had a problem like this before?!

Slm i'm always writing long replies (bet you don't believe me looking at this small compact post ) and then losing them:( not quite sure how i manage to do it lol so have no way of it randomly not happening again!!!

But anyways yes kids are better :T i'm still tired (surprise) and i will get on with my jobs today! ANy money made on ebay will be going towards my contingency fund i need to get it back up to 1400 at least! I also received the toys from te$co that i ordered and am thinking of taking them back. The kids really don't need any more christmas pressies and it will be £35 refund back to me (for savings) so I may take a little trip over there tomorrow or monday and do that! I must stop buying things just because they are half price! I was doing so well!!!! Oh well suppose we all have a blip every now and then

Be back later with more exciting updates i'm sure!

Ok i'm back and i have done some jobs :T i have 15 items on turbo lister ready to be uploaded tomorrow afternoon. It has just taken me half hour to find out one of the items is actually called :wall::rotfl:

They are all going on at 99p I can NOT be bothered re-listing them 10 hundred times because they don't sell to all the people who shop on ebay because i dared to put them above 99p :rotfl: and to be honest if it doesn't get sold I think i will just charity shop it all as had enough of looking at it now!

I had through the post today renewal quotes for landlord insurance and contents insurance so might see if i can find those a bit cheaper this afternoon elsewhere. I have the money saved so hopefully can sort that out today!

Need to hang another load of washing out and put another one on (will actually take me a week to put all this washing away!)

And i've heard a horrible rumour that it is going to snow in october :eek: someone please tell me this isn't true :eek: we are going to stay in a caravan for 3 nights in half term :cool: if it is snowing i will have to seriously re-consider lol i hate the cold!!!!

Hi i am glad you are all feeling a little better from an early night and trip to the zoo. I do understand that we are going to be having snow this month. Not sure when and as its so lovely and hot today it is very hard to beleive. I would like to know when, but i bet it will happen over holidays as thats just our luck

debtfreewannabe321

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! this is just my luck!!! Boooooooooooooooo to the snow!

slm6002

Savings: £1000/2000. not bad considering I now have car insurance paid for in full, christmas for the kids is paid for and some other bits and pieces we needed for house we've bought. Obviously not quite the 2K i was hoping for though :doh::think:
