    I've been turfing bits and pieces out over the last couple of weeks. We took another bag of stuff to the charity shop at the end of last week and our bins seem to be filled as soon as they are emptied. We went to a festival last weekend and had to buy a new tent so now I need to find a new spot for that :rolleyes:

    Today though:
    Out -

    Himself has sorted out quite a few books to go to the charity shop which are joining the ones I thinned out yesterday and will add to this pile later on this afternoon.

    More rubbish!! I have a nearly full black bin bag from sorting stuff over the weekend and I reckon I could fill another by the end of the day.

    A bird.The furry male child savaged it in the garden earlier :o We both heard lots of pained squawking and went out to see what the commotion was. He'd taken a chunk out of the back of its wing but it seemed so so, so we put it in a box and did a good half hour walk to the vets telling them we found it in the garden and chased A cat away from it. Didn't say it was one of ours :o

    In - Nothing!

    I've had a strop and opened a dispute for the still unpaid item.. it ended on the 23rd.. I sent a reminder on the 29th and she said she would pay 'in 2 days when her listings ended'... fair enough.. STILL no payment... so to dispute I went... bet the silly cow leaves negative feedback because she couldn't be bothered to pay.. I wouldn't mind it is only £3.99!!!

    Fab work guys! Keep it up, no slacking!!! ;)

    Hope everyone's doing OK :)

    I've decided to donate my several almost-new condition but now 'too big' bras to the BreastTalk appeal, rather than sell them on ebay.

    Bras are a tricky item, and the latest changes for ebay sellers don't exactly fill me with confidence :rolleyes: so I'm steering clear for a while.

    Yep, I was right.. psycho-buyer on ebay.. on Friday she was going to pay yesterday now she is saying she doesn't want the item and has 'had to go out and buy some'.. why in gods name did she not jus pay for the ones she had bid on?? What a retard... and yes I hope she is reading this.. stupid cow!!! so here is my first undeserved negative when I can't leave appropriate feedback in return (I would have done it first actually!!!) warning other buyers that she is psychotic!!

    Must be the heat Pigpen!!!
    I have had one who complained about not the item but the box it came in!! Said it got damaged in transit and sent me photo's..............the item is perfect!! He complained about postage - I foolishly refunded some postage agreeing with him that I should have put the item in another box and not just wrapped it in bubble wrap (OH told me I was a fool to do that). Anyway, today, two weeks after I sent him partial refund his dad writes to me - telling me I am full of s@@t and that he is going to return the item!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Just waiting for great negative feedback now!

    Marvellous thing this ebay feedback - NOT
    LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
    (CC/LOAN = [STRIKE]36,378.98[/STRIKE] 35668.47. O/D = [STRIKE]1255.32[/STRIKE] 1212.35/[STRIKE]1999.78[/STRIKE] 1934.52, BUS = [STRIKE]9769.76[/STRIKE] 8714.98)
    Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!
