The OS Doorstep - a helpful and supportive thread in these tough times

Pooky, send a message to the seller that you have received 2, and explain the difficulty about returning. It's likely seller will say keep, after all they would have to reimburse you for returning it, and if they still want you to return let them know how difficult that would be.

If another buyer is waiting for the self same cloth they should be thankful that they can resend and save bad feedback over a not received item.

If it was a big company name, I'd probably stay quiet.

SDG, I am so sorry you haven't found the ring yet, it may well turn up in the most unexpected place, I will send positive thoughts that it does.

I have a job! I will work from 10-2 daily and every other weekend. I can't believe I can still be a mam before and after school and make tea for us all and still earn a wage.

My training begins 5th December so I need for them to be in school at that point. My employers said not to worry if not as I can do it after Christmas but ill be pushing for answers with admissions today. There is no way I'm happy about them missing school and pretty determined to see that this comes to a speedy conclusion now.

Yay - well done Fuddle! Ideal working times too!!

Morning all, some lovely news on here for lots of people. So nice to hear. SDG I hope the ring turns up.

Today I ended up taking DD to her sisters workplace to get her hair washed properly. I have tried to do it, but with the dressings still on she doesn't feel I did it right. I didn't have to pay which was very lovely, they just felt sorry for her!! It is looking better tho. We visited her collage yesterday and they have agreed she should take another week off, as it still is very swollen and bruised.

I have made sausage rolls this morning at home, now eating a warm fresh out of the oven one. It is delicious!! just nice with a hot cup of tea.

I am catching up with obsesibe compulsive cleaners. When it finishes will have to go and clean the bathroom, and kitchen. I feel better after! lol.

I need to wrap some Christmas presents, but tbh I really cant get motivated to do it. I know it isn't long till Christmas but I don't feel festive. I think the fact I have had to scrimp and buy a lot from landofbay, I haven't really got into it.

take care x

Hope everyone else is pootling along as well as can be expected. I have Oh in bed feeling poo after flu injection but thats fine am getting ready for craft fair with Smileyt on Monday evening - so nervous Its important that I sell stuff, not just for the cash but because I have tons of stuff and need the space.

Aw ginny please say hi to smileyt for me! She's a miss

Hope you sell. Christmas is definitely the time to do it. Good call.

I've made in roads with the schools this afternoon. I've ha to separate them but they would have been separated in September when DDeldest moved to middle school. At least the school eldest DD is in our town so the friends she makes now will be the friends she has as she moves up. Youngest DD has had to take a place in a Roman Catholic school. Very scared as we aren't RC. I cannot at all complain as we're so lucky to have both girls in outstanding schools. It will be a logistal nightmare but only for me and my need to be early. I shall have to relax my expectations to just getting there on time. It's all I can do as the school over the road is full.

Cheating, pizza for tea with garlic bread and coleslaw. Still loads to do and running on feeling good vibes.

I think I have you all to thank for winning me a job. I talked about my interest in OS ways and frugality, crochet etc. apparently I will have a couple of calls that are an hour long but only require to ensure correct medication is taken, a cuppa tea and the rest of time a chat as per their wellbeing care plan. A lot of training and then shadowing to do but after that I can don my blue overall and do a bit of good for my local elderly neighbours. I get mileage at 30p per mile. Is that good do you know?
