    Checking in :) just about to do all the parcels from fleabay. Really annoyed though, a customer has just sent a message to say that RM charged them £2.30 to receive a parcel I sent as large letter, the PO said it was large letter!!! So why they charged I have no idea. Have had to take away the lower discount for posting small items from my website to cover myself and now ALL parcels are going to be sent as parcels regardless of whether they are or not. Right, now to see if I can post stuff as small parcel instead of medium parcel otherwise it's going to have to go via myhermes :)

    Cats are currently banned from the bedroom as Leo keeps widdling in the corners of our room grrr!

    I sent a parcel yesterday which with the air squashed out was a small parcel (£2.60) but with air in was a medium parcel and was about £5.50!! :eek::eek: I asked POman if he expected me to pay £3 to transport air and he agreed to put it through as a small parcel. They had better not question it!

    Postage is obscene, anything over 8cm is classed as a medium package and 2nd class is £5+ to send it. So I'm going to courier them instead if that's the case. Will get them checked at the P.O. and anything over will be taken back home :D I've ordered a parcel guide from the post office website, if anyone wants the address I can find it again for you :)

    I have some very, very happy kitties. I've just had the raw food delivered for them and they've chowed down the chicken wing tips like there's no tomorrow. Leo cat is very, very happy and searching out more. Boyfriend, who is veggie, isn't overly impressed. Although told him they are free range and actually eating less than canned food :D this has softened the blow somewhat :eek::eek::eek:

    Checking in...

    I'm a little sad that I don't get to keep up with you all so much anymore but I am still working away at the debts. My end of March update is.....

    #010 £13,788.01/£16,660.26 82.76% paid

    Just 22 days til April payday and fingers crossed we're (just!) still on track to use that month's salaries to finally clear the last of it :j Realisticly, likely to be more like 26 days before I actually process the payments and a few more to confirm it's all done but still by the end of this month!!!!

    Hope you're all doing ok still xxx
