£10 per day in September ** ALL WELCOME** :)

nat21luv

Pretty crappy day today, no money making at all, car failed MOT (£55 for the priviledge!) and the best...foster daughters druggie parents are going to a mother and baby class at my son's school every week, also where I take my daughter to toddler groups. I challenged this as its crossing over into my life too much(there are 7 other M&B groups in my town alone!) and I was met with 'tough'. Im really not happy about it, my children are getting involved, my family's saftey is compromised(they know where I live when they shouldnt) and social services couldnt give a crap, they put the druggies needs before my family. W ankers.

I haven't made any money today, and I think I'm facing having to refund an ebay buyer

She's been an absolute nightmare, won the thingy last weekend and was asking me questions all week before paying on thursday night, posted it friday 2nd class and today I got a nasty all-in-capitals email (it was seriously vicious! I felt like I'd killed her puppy or something ) saying she hasnt got it and wants a refund I posted with tracking so I'm ignoring her for now - let's see what happens! I can't afford to refund if it's going to arrive and I really don't feel up to reading any more nasty emails. Sigh.

Nat - is there not a higher level that you can complain to, or have you already tried? Obviously as I don't know how the system works I can't give much advice, but you would assume with the amount of high profile failings made by social services in recent years, there would be a decent structure in place by now. Apparently not though.
That's awful for you.


On a money note, I just found £4.84 in the bottom of my handbag, but won't count it in this challenge as it's not like it was an old handbag, it was just that my current handbag is so full of carp!!

Oh i hate it when buyers get like this anyway i would suggest you contact her and ask her to go through the item not received option. This way her responses will be recorded. You need to make sure you are the reasonable one. As you have sent it recorded you will not have to refund her for the item - you will be covered with paypal. If you need any other info feel free to drop me a line.

Gulp. _pale_

Just adding £6.70 from coupons, would have been more but they had no honey shreddies left! Will try again tomorrow as I have to go back for a couple of bits.

Oh I hate buyers like that It will probably turn up tomorrow, so just tell her that you sent it the day after payment (can't get quicker than that!) and give the Royal Mail delivery time estimates... then point out that had she paid when she won it, she would have it by now (:p), however as she didn't pay for nearly a week, she can't reasonably expect to have it with her yet!

As for the refund, she has no grounds to ask for one - the parcel wouldn't even be expected to turn up until tomorrow (and wouldn't be considered 'missing' for 3 weeks), so try not to worry about it!

Big Congrats to everyone doing so well, and well done to everyone making progress - no matter how small it is :T:T

Fingers & Paws all crossed here, waiting for news on the patter of little feeties for our thread gals :A

A(nother) late post from me for my weekly update Though to be fair ... it was beyond my control ... :mad: but thats another story for my diary update :cool:

Anyway .... adding to my pot this week, I have £35.50

Not sure how much more I will get now that can be included for this month ... especially reading the news about the spudshills .. and I too was only a few points from cashing in £20 Fingers crossed the site comes back up in time to claim it for this month.

WOW - 4 Year anniversay for the Challenge ... that's fab :beer::T:T Let's get stuck in and keep it going guys n gals ... That was an amazing figure based only on the £10 a day goal ... and whilst many vary their monthly amount, some do £5, I know lots also do £20 - so that is really an acheivement to be proud of all :beer:

Best go do a diary update I guess
