*is a little bit scared of Cheery's stern glare* :rotfl:

I know I'm being stupid.. it's the fear of the unknown/ fear of rejection..

Could I have a vote please? I have a vintage, single eiderdown on EBay, has 6 days to go, 29 watchers and has reached £10.50 and have been offered a buy it now for £40. Do I sit it out or do I accept? I am torn between I am selling it to donate the proceeds to Ahlziemers society.

Robsmum, I'm astonished at the price they go for!
I've seen them going for £60-£80

so I think with 6 days to go you don't need to go with this buyer

Marru

robsmum, have you investigated how much they go for? With that many watchers and bids already in I would wait.

Thank you OO and Maurra - that was my inital reaction, so in the spirit of The Matrix I'm going to follow my instinct and wait it out.

I really need to be better.... grrr!

I need to rush to work to do Year End. My boss has just phoned to ask if I can do stuff in bed. Blimming cheek! I am poorly. I guess I'll have to do it though, because no one else can.

Day 5 - 4 a day. No better. Still painful. Still peeing every 10 minutes. Even at night! Tired. Fed up. Bah.

Grrrr!

Hope everyone else is having a better week than me! Crickett, when you've got ten minutes, can you do my year end too please!!!

tell your boss that every day you work is one you won't be taking off sick so although you will only do the bare minimum they can't claim ssp back. I worked while on bed rest as I need to save the sick leave...

Good grief TMIF! :mad: :mad: I am shocked on your behalf! How DARE your boss ring and ask if you can do stuff in bed!

What would happen if you said no? Perhaps then they'd realise they needed some kind of contingency plan and not to have the entire business rely on one person being available at a moment's notice, regardless of what was going on. :mad:

Gosh that makes me cross on your behalf! :mad:

(I hope when you've done it you'll have a conversation with them and tell them they need a contingency because that is just NOT APPROPRIATE!) - also what happens re insurance when you're in work but also signed off sick?!

Grrrr

(just popped in to say I've tackled the giant pesky dragon I've been squabbling with since Thursday :T :T but now all cross rather than celebratory :rotfl:)

Well done on conquering your pesky Dragon. And I echo what Cheery said TMIF. Mind I am not suprised. I once got phoned by HR when I was off sick asking me when I was going to be going back in the office. I was heavily pregnant with the most awful cold and could only take paracetamol which wasn't working much. Was fuming - they are taking liberties TMIF. I've had kidney infection and it was AGONY, ended up having second lot of antibiotics as the first lot didn't work. If no improvement by tomorrow get yourself back to Dr's xx

15 minute bursts for me too.

I didn't list anything on e-bay, even though it was free listing, even though I'd charged up Dad's camera which I'd especially borrowed :mad:

I hate it that I lack the motivation to do the simplest of things. (though I do hate e-baying ) But why did I clean out my kitchen cupboards this weekend instead of clearing the loft?

Because doing the cupboards were more interesting......lesser of two evils I never listed anything on ebay, even though we have stuff to shift Just couldn't be bothered

K4K update (oh how nice to have this speedy internet connection )

Dummy Invoice for the 38 pairs of worn shoes raised (total £19) on which there may be import duty and VAT to be paid.
Import duty quotes have varied between 20%-40%
VAT in SA = 14%

So from the original quote of hundreds of pounds in duty due it should now be £6.50-£10.50 :T

So it's only taken 7 months And it's not out the door yet.......

Cheery_Daff

Goodness me Olive! £10.50?? Really?! 7 months for £10.50?! I can't believe it!

Fingers crossed it happens soon - you must be thoroughly sick of the entire thing!
