    Flipping ebay. Buyer gave me a neg because I didnt refund them fast enough. Scammer. If you genuinely didnt get an article you would open a case surely?


    That is annoying. If I genuinely didn't get an item I would email the sender and wait and see what transpired. Make sure you comment on their feedback ...


    What was/is 'pony gym' ???
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Ouch, I had to pay quite a bit for new contact lenses but it is worth it to avoid walls and the like.

    Enjoy the rally!

    Ha ha walls.

    This was a pair for DH and a pair for DD.

    I get lenses online using the MSE search thingy. Saves a fortune.

    Hi alchem, happy holidays :)

    I can't wait to see your sofa renovations, did you ever see Elaine at "mortgage free In three"s sofa makeover? She did homemade patchwork dyed squares, well worth a look I found it quite interesting. Best of luck, looking forward to the pictures :D
    MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁

    A Habbi gym. Lol.

    I didnt see Elaine's sofas. I think mine will be a lot less artistic.

    Just put ponyplops to bed after showjumping practice.
