Aww thats a shame. It always feels like such a waste when I can't use the coupons on something and they end up going in the bin

Did you go to CW's Asda?

No I went to my local ish ones, which are very good with coupons.

I read a few psots back you had to take your stash to your mum's, does that mean you want your d/w stuff delivered to your mums;) BTW the bin has to be empty this time whoever's house they are delivered to as there will be a few more than last time;)

I took my stash to my mums to make space for more;) Wow how many you got? I thought I had got loads

Better not deliver to my mums. She didn't look best pleased when I started to fill up her house:o

I will make the necessary bin arrangements:D

Hi I was wondering if one or two lovely drivellers might have some advice:

1) MSE style query is how do I go about refilling my own ink cartridges, last essay cost £17 to print so had to give up on the coupons until I could afford new one!

2) OH has just rung and said he's jacked in his job during a difficult shift. it's a temp Sleep in job over the summer on 24hr shifts. he will still have his old job from Sept. I am studying and only have £500 ish left in bank until mid Sept, he has more, around £4,000 but we don't share finances. After what he has told me about work I understand his decision but this is not the first time he has decided to quit jobs, he's had 4 since we have been together in 2yrs and I worry that he is always going to be on minumum wage, he is 40 and has no qualifications. None of this makes him happy and later down the line he regrets jacking jobs in because of how it looks for future employers. We talk about how he feels a lot and it makes me very stressed about the future. We got together and stayed together partly as we have a lot of the similar values, we support vulnerable people and are always the first to pipe up if we think the work is unsafe or unfair for those people, or unsafe for us. He is a lovely person and an intelligent thoughtful worker whose great at the practical side of working with people. The difference is is that I have managed to stay in part time jobs and he hasn't. Could anyone suggest ways of approaching this one that are not going to come across as judgemental but will protect my stress levels?! God I feel like dear deidre!! Thanks everyone hope you have had mellow days xx

What printer do you have? There is a lot of places which do cheap compatables and someone on here prob has the same/similiar printer and can recommend a place.

Sorry to hear about your OH's job. I think Aesop maybe able to give you advice, her and Bully are the sensible ones on here;)

Evening all

Just need to say I HATE EBAY !!!!!!!! Arrggghhhh

Sold something last week for two quid odd and sent buyer invoice heard nothing so few day later sent email for them to make contact still nothing so I started non pay case today then 2 hrs later they paid and left me neg feedback saying beware bad seller blah blah opened case etc. so p'd off coz I'm at 700 on one eBay 3000 on other and never had bad feedback. Well screw em they have already negd so if they need to take a week to pay maybe I will take a week to post

On a happier note we are doing the big trip to ikea tomoz (5 hr round trip to nearest) to let he kids pick up so nice cheap bits for the nEw rooms.

Hope that might cheer me up angry mummy and upset too. Good thing my house not full of cakes like MT coz I'd be anger eating right now lol

You can complain to ebay customer services about the buyers behaviour and ask for the neg to be removed.

hi CM
i'll join that hate ebay club

sold collection only item on 28/7
sent 2 invoices and 1 message still no contact
so on 3/8 opened NPB and low & behold he pays by paypal on 6/8 ( days before i could close the case)

he also sent a message basically his mums ill , no idea when he can collect could i hold it.

so messaged yes ok to hold as long as you give a date for collection
so now waiting on his reply.:(

MT - its not safe to take paypal for collection items, the buyer can claim non receipt and there is nothing you can do as paypal will automatically give him his money back.

Collection items should be paid by cash upon collection only.

This happened to me a few months ago. I refunded his money and 3 weeks later hadn't collected the heavy item. I contacted customer services and got my fees back and they made a note that if he leaves bad feedback its to be removed.

He never did collect and I re-listed the item and it sold.
