    Morning All :wave:


    I am in again this week, thanks to Natty for this weeks lists, I didn’t get on to post nearer the end of the week, however was still flying. Hope you are all well,


    ***RANT ALERT *** The phone I sold on Fleabay, buyer has openeda case stating “not as described” after various emails back & forth I told her that ebay could decide who was right as I felt I gave an honest description & also stated in the listing there were surface scratches & general wear & tear marks, I took pictures of the worst marks which to me were a couple of “chunks” out of the front. My DH actually said, you are not really selling it well if you are mentioning scratches etc are you”, I told him I was just being honest. My blood was boiling when she emailed me on Saturday, I have always been honest in my description & have 100% feedback, this buyer only had 11 feedback. She also said she would pay extra for recorded delivery so I took it to PO during my lunch then sent her an invoice for the additional £1.15, she said I "made her pay" recorded delivery & didn’t send it recorded, I blinking have the receipt to prove it, also her paypal payment was “under review” for a period of 24 hours so I am very suspicious & dreading that I need to pay the money back (its already spent ) RANT OVER, sorry just had to vent as I was soo :mad::mad::mad:



    As I left for work I asked DH if he would do the ensuite & bathroom as he done sod all to help me last week, well he changed DD’s bed yesterday (& wanted apat on the back for it)

    I'm in - houe is still a tip!

    I felt rubbish from Weds onwards last week - so the ironing mountain is larger than last week!

    On the bright side I went out for a drink yesterday - and I got to meet DS's girlfriend and DD2's boyfriend. It went very well - and I hope i proved that I do not have 2 heads!
