    Thank you all for my Birthday wishes - I am so touched. :D:D:D


    Now I know why I hate selling stuff on ebay!

    Sold £41 worth of stuff less commission £3ish less postage ( almost all I quoted the exact amount on recorded mails so no spare for me time or fuel) less postage £17ish so roughly only make £20:eek: me better off giving me stuff away to local charity like Air Ambulance like I used to. Don't think me going to ever sell on ebay again.

    1 buyer decided not to buy me stuff cos' paypal messing about with me account:mad: which I am glad that she didn't want it because it cost me more than £1.99 she won. I bought it for £25 so me kept it instead. Happy to help - not to sell:rotfl:

    Then I lost on Zara dress : only sold for £1.99 cost me £40:eek: was hoping she too decide to cancel her paypal transaction but alas no such luck:cool:.

    Oh well, never mind.:A
    RIP my dear dear parent : Mum aged 62 (17/5/1990) & Dad aged 89 (23/1/2012)

    Why does my (1/2) sister have to have her wedding in Cyprus?In blooming august and all!!
    Don't think she wants me there anyway :( I hate that side of my family always doing stuff like this:(:(

    Do you have to pay everything? Flight/hotel/food? if yes, if I were you, I am not going:o:o


    Spend the dosh on your own family - go holiday with them instead.

    I hate Talk Talk! :mad:' am trying to catch up on posts and it is soooo slow. My broadband 'speed' is currently 256kbps. Must, MUST change to someone else.

    As soon as I'm off these crutches and running around again I'm changing my broadband and my mobile (3's network is rubbish here)
    :mad:

    Anyway, have 'whizzed' back 4 pages and keep seeing references to 'stealing'
    :eek: - who, what, where, why? and what's happening with SSM? Not logged in for ages, should I now or is it a bad time?
  • Happy Birthday doc:bdaycake:

    shopndrop definately recommend begging stealing or borrowing a steamer they do a fantastic job but also a good wallpaper scraper paper just falls off so quick and easy

    BL good result from Coinks pretty nice of them:T

    Of course I have to pay for everythingI dont even think their having a reception and to boot if it IS the place I think it is I'm not even going to be able to book there as its full up(mind you that might be a plus point not having to see them all the time:rotfl:)!Not even been told where the wedding is yet:o
    For just a little more money I could have 14 days in Florida not 3 in cyprus.OH dosn't want to come being the way they treat me and I don't blame him.
    Never mind lets see what i get back from the message asking where the place is.Havn't decided if i should go or not,just feel obligated!Might put it out to poll with everyone see what they think

    WE had an Irate poster replying to bullys post about the old days of tacto when they accepted coupons for items you didnt purchase.
    However our friend neglected to read back and got the wrong end of the stick and thought this was a current thing.They then went on to accuse bully of stealing and being greedy:eek::eek:
    So we are all kinda having a little fun at their expense
  • I'm sorry.I don't mean to be mrs ranty tonight.My family just get me all hot under the collar sometimes:o:o
