Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh furious at ebay company who told me stuff was in stock for DS1's play and that it had been dispatched. They now say that is isn't and has been dispatched despite the ebay sale saying that it was on Wednesday. Guess what I'll now be doing all weekend.
I've done a mad tidy around and some odd jobs. Need to spend HH on here now doing some stuff and then my temper will be taken out on cleaning the bathroom.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
Happy Birthday to Juliejim and Mudbath. Hope you have a great day!
Thank you Greenbee and Valli. I think it may be a mixture of both things, there are some bits stuck and it overheated:o. I've not tried it again as today will be non-stop but will have a look at it over the weekend.:jBaby girl born 3rd October 2012:j0 -
