They paid for second so post it second!

At least they paid.. I have 11 that havent.. and I am sorely tempted to email them and say they arent having it now.. why do they bid then not pay.. especially when on BiN or they bid in the last 5 minutes .. the must have been online... And one muppet wants 3 things posting to Germany.. so OH needs to do 2 PO runs just for that one as I have no idea what it will cost.. might double it just for the double inconvenience.. last clown that did this didnt pay!! GGGrrrrr

Today I hate the world.

Me too

FEEL FREE TO PASS BY....

He emailed me back saying that if I refunded and invoiced again, he would pay the additional costs and apologised. As it was, I fluffed up anyway, as when I calcluated the estimated postage cost, I priced it as first class by mistake, but listed it as second - so he had paid the right amount anyway! Probably means ive overcharged all my other items postage too rubbishy rubbishy few days

Forgot to go collect boxes, forgot a million other things. Have also done a million things but dont have time for another 3 zillion things... Moan moan moan.

But the cherry on the top of my crapola cake, is that Uni have decided that my 'recent learning' for next year, may not actually be recent enough for next years application but wuold have been for this years, but they havent confirmed and no one is ringing me back. Have tried to hedge my bets and contacted the college about the access course, and see if I could squeeze in for this year, but they have 270 applications for 40 places, so there is no way thats possible.

Have tried another college, but they are going to ring me back tomorrow, with some advice on alternative courses and placements which may provide me with the credits required to still get on the degree course next year.... but who knows. Ill just wait by the phone and see.

And despite constant cleaning, chucking and packing, the house still looks like a cesspit. Best do something constructive - as sitting here complaining is achieving SFA.



Sorry

missymoo81

Oh Jo, poor you, sounds like the Uni needs my big size 4's up their backside, I really hope it works out for you.

Ok not going to do underbed or cabinet drawer, have decided. Really feel like I have done enough today. Just went downstairs loaded dishwasher put that on and have hung up the rest of the wet washing, have also repacked hospital case with rewashed baby clothes.

Can I just say a great big thank you to Toots and Pigpen for starting this weeks thread, since finding it yesterday, instead of sitting here looking at the mess and getting depressed, I have actually made huge headway and am so pleased, my bedroom, living room, hall and landing are gleaming, I wouldnt have even contemplated doing it without the help and motivation from everyon on here, so a big thank you for those that have kept with me and helped keep my motivated today.

Huge hugs.
Thanks again

I'll still aim for the HHC in the bedroom, so we'll see. No chance of catching up with the thread, so hugs and spoons and everything else as needed. x

I have realised if I close my eyes - my house actually looks like a hotel.

Im off to bed -- where the house is pristine and service staff do everything

Im too tired to stop moaning so bed is the best place for me. The crapola will still all be here tomorrow, but ill be better placed to deal with it
