Well hello there everyone :wave:

:hello: DNMS! :hello:

I'm at the parentals this weekend All v DFW and as predicted it's been cooked breakfasts, out for meals and catching up

Other things:
- Take flask for train
- Get lift to station
- 'Steal' some snacks
- Charge everything before we go
- Bit of knitting hopefully
- Check e bay listings that are ending
- Sort clothes for work - find something that doesn't need ironing

Not sure what state we/OH left the flat on Friday so what I'm doing tonight will depend on that... Catch up properly when I'm back home.

Oh, just noticed someone retracted a bid on e bay!! Saying 'entered wrong amount' but blatantly just found a cheaper alternative... grrr to peeps going against e bay rules!

Morning all:j happy weekend everyone list for this weekend:

Lots of quality time as a family
Had to hunt for my driving licence, found €50 :jWhich is great as going to Spain next weekend!
DH went to local shop to buy some specialist running trainers, all part of budget, planning on spending about £75. Got some for £40 as they are 'last season'. The lovely people also gave him another pair for free as they didn't have a box and had a slight mark on the toe. Should have been £75 each :eek: aren't some people lovely

Afternoon all!!

It is DD1's 8th birthday today :j:j:j:j:j:j:j

we are staying in as have visitors all day - will perhaps take her out to do something tomorrow.

She is getting a lot of clothes for her birthday - she is hard to buy for now and this helps be DFW as it cuts down the amount of clothes i have to buy her for the year

MIL's for tea! Made DD1 a cake with a DS on it :-) She got a DSi XL for her birthday and is selling her old DS to put towards it!

Have a great day everyone! It should be a NSD for us :-) xxx

Sold a couple of my son's old clothing recently on eBay. Was really pleased as I didnt know if they would sell. Back in the day when we could afford decent clothes, so they were all from Gap or Polo etc.

However, I have had two complaints. One was from a lady who said that there were marks on the item. I really dont recall that there were so gave her the benefit of the doubt and a partial refund. Just received another complaint re another item. Again told that there were marks on the shirt,'that perhaps I hadnt seen as it was small checks and it makes your eyes funny to look at it'.

So now I am wandering if these complaints are genuine or is it people just taking a chance and hoping for a refund in fear that they will give bad feedback. I know that the second shirt did not have marks.

Any body experienced this before?? Are there eBay trolls as well?

Hello again :j

Today;

Mucked out some cupboards - decided to start doing this, as our bin is usually only half full (we recycle and reuse a lot), but we are going to be moving into our house later this year :j:j:jand we will have a lot of junk to get rid of

Also sorted out some things for the charity shop :A

And put one item on ebay :T which already has 5 watchers :D

Did an inventory of the food cupboards and freezers

Washing on line and finished off on airer / radiators

HM meals

Quite a productive day - but Monday again tomorrow, and OH going away for the week

But rather him than me - he and a couple of colleagues are taking a group of 30 x 17-18 year olds to Paris :eek::eek::eek:
