  • That's the wrong smiley. Ah sod it.

  • The hifi has been collected by a happy man who will use it in his workshop (and said he will give the turntable to his son who has vinyl, so everybody wins!)

    The teaching room is now looking significantly clearer :)

    I have some small interest on the new eBay items, and I've dropped the price again on the old ones. Time will tell....

  • Couple more bits gone on eBay. Hopefully something will sell, I could use the extra cash :grin:

  • Right, so I've got a bid on an empty box for a pair of hair straighteners but nothing on the two pairs of boots or the BNWT school trousers :rotfl:

  • 2 lessons this morning, then I'm done for the day / week. Ocado is arriving in 30minutes, I'm still in my dressing gown, and I have so much to do today, including getting the first haircut I've had in about 18 months! :eek:

    All pay has now come in for the month, so that's it in terms of how good my current account is going to get... I'll do my usual sorting out spreadsheet etc on the 31st to end August.

  • I'm impressed with Ocado; no substitutions, they were on time, friendly and helpful delivery driver. I'm not seeing a catch. Oh except wait rose prices. Daughter is on a mission next week to find voucher code to use to try and get another delivery for cheap though, this one was 25% off :) I'm not convinced she'll manage it, I reckon we'll be back in tesco next week, but we can give it a go! :)

    Morning.... Must admit we love Ocado. We are on their subscription delivery about £9.00 a month but we can have as many deliveries as we want minimum £40 spend. Except Christmas week when we have to pay the delivery.

    We find they are consistent and friendly. They arrive to us in snow and flood!

    Since breaking of their exclusivity deal with Mr WR their prices are better, and both ocado and WR essential range are good.

    We gave up with Mr T and Mr S deliveries as they kept appearing late and too many substitutions.
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It

  • Ah I thought delivery was free, daughter must have found another voucher code! I can't use tesco, they were substituting Gf stuff for gluten containing stuff and make the entire shop completely useless, and leaving my having to go out anyway. Apparently Ocado don't do that.

    And morning! :)

  • P.s. My grammar and spelling isn't really this bad, I'm just usually typing this on a tiny box on a phone :o

    I proofread for a living, you'd never guess from reading some of my posts, would you? :rotfl:

  • Now the empty Pandora box has got a bid. I give up on understanding eBay :rotfl:
