  • Hi jwil - can you claim back on the item not received ?

    Hope you got the paypal money through x

    I've not managed to sort that item out - hopefully the next few days will see me with a bit of time rather than the ou/work/nvq cycle i'm on at the moment - it is at least stopping my frivolous spending but also stopping me spending on the things i need to spend on :eek: :rotfl: But it will be sorted out xx

    Whoo hoo - a baby boy on the way.

    My book sold on ebay - paid straight away so made my £200 target in the end.

    Now to start for my Feb challenge of £200. Work owes me £13 but because we are a fairly remote office we dont hold any cash so waiting for headoffice to reimburse me. That can go towards my Feb total so £187 left to go lol :)

    Yes I should be able to luckily - I think I actually got POP for it. I often don't bother with the low value stuff and just chuck it in the post box, but I think I posted this with a huge batch of stuff so it's on the proof of posting.

    Hey Happy and leictina :) Nice to see you both here! :D

    I'm failing miserably on the POAMAYC challenge this year - because I've picked one specific card to pay off, I haven't paid a thing yet :o

    Hey everyone :)

    I had a huge hormonal meltdown this morning :o The dogs annoyed me, as did the hub (who wasn't even home :rotfl:) and everything else, which resulted in me just sobbing for about 1/2 hr and wondering how I'm going to cope when baby is here.

    I'm feeling pretty bleurgh today so think I'm just tired.

    My Paypal withdrawal was cancelled so I have successfully withdrawn that today thankfully. A non payer has now paid up (I was going to close the case last night but couldn't be bothered so they slipped that one through) and it will finally be payday tomorrow :T

    I need to sort out some extra funds though and get on with things.

    I also MUST pack my hospital bags! Still haven't done that :o
