OK, well, as a tribute to the late Donna Summer....

Lookin' at a hot spot, baby, this evening;
We're clearin' hot spots, baby,tonight.......

Don't think I'll ever remember the original lyrics again. Brilliant!

Very quiet afternoon and evening. DH has gone to play bowles and DS1 hasn't come back from town, so there's only me and DS2. Something from work distracted me before I made the last call on my list, but it's not too late yet. Just got to put stuff out of my mind for a bit. Could do with something to eat, too...

Anyway, DW emptied again and pots from lunch loaded. Now alternating ibuprofen and paracetamol for DS2 and it's working. :T I really hope he'll be fit to go on the school trip tomorrow. He's been so looking forward to it and it's not too far.

Some major cleaning done late last week downstairs and bathroom as friends came for afternoon tea party on Friday. Today I have done loads of washing, planted 12 plants and one large shrub and earthed up the potatoes. Oh and made some cornish pasties for tea (they smell good!).
Loads of emails and paperwork dealt with as there's a crisis around my son's adult placement.
Also went to gym and did a half-hearted food shop.
Need to focus tomorrow on some upstairs cleaning and clearing.........helps keep my mind off the problems around my son apart from making my home nicer.
Thanks as always.

this muppet is claiming and item new with tags isn't new and wants a refund but is refusing to send the £28 top back! I swear they are getting worse!!!

Have amended your post as I don't really like the word you used

I thought that if they refused to return it then you didn't HAVE to refund them....? Have you checked on the Ebay board? They're pretty good. if you get in a paypal dispute with them I would think you would win if your pics showed the item WITH the tags on. (Caps for emphasis due to laziness/fajita exhaustion )

it is being returned now apparently.. like I said in my first reply to 'it'.. honestly.. why do they think the rules don't apply to them??

and it was absolutely the correct term I used..

'a person who is stupid, obtuse, or ineffective in some way'

bossymoo

Yep I only refund if they return the item first. At their cost, unless I have made a mistake.

So, not much flying today work was really hectic and tots have been horrid tonight there is jammy toasty bits all over the rug, lots of shouting, so they have gone to bed without a story. Could really do without it today. Anyway, will clear up kitchen, only had a snack tea so not much mess.

Will have a hhc after eastenders and almond loaf (I blame you lot!)
