For some reason there is a restriction on my ebay account which I am trying to sort out.. they suspended it yesterday for no reason and now this.. they are idiots!! And I have 65 things to upload.. and another half a million to list.. sigh... I may just transfer it all over to my other account if they don't stop being thick!

I had major trouble last week with my paypal account. After selling DH's upgrade (he was happy to keep his old phone) we were paid immediately and so a couple of days later I sent the phone. Shortly after sending the message saying it is in the post, the buyer reversed the payment!!! I did not even know this could be done. Luckily (ish) they refused delivery also so at least I got the phone back but I am now really worried about trying to sell it again because of the scammers.

I hope it all works itself out shortly for you though. Paypal/Ebay can be a bit useless at times.

Edit - beat me to it, glad it is ok now.

pigpen

it isn't ok now.. I can only upload the one item.. I have another 64 waiting!! just ranting at the live help guy. lol.. they do love me really!

pigpen

right.. I sent the relevant info so hopefully that will be sorted in due course.. I'll go find some mroe to list in the meantime.. that'll teach them not to fiddle with my account.. idiots!!

I need to buy some superglue to stick my nail back on today.

I found a nappy pin which is securing the rabbit cage door at the moment, I am pretty sure they have figured out how to undo the catches and escape.. beastly things!

Hi

I have a major sense of achievement, though it doesn't seem like much.

Written a list of daily and weekly tasks (now need to stick to them )

Written and addressed all the cards that needed to go. Just need to find stamps.

Washed up, cleared up and tidied at least part of the kitchen.

Feel positive, hopeful and hyped from a boatload of caffeine as now on second 2 litre bottle of diet coke (still haven't cut out the middleman, Dusty :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:)

Now, going to be firm with myself and will DS is still asleep, going to log off and go do some ironing. I'll take Dusty's advice about the carrots and plant later.

It is sooooo nice reading this thread!

fold and pout away clean laundry

Is this some kind of facial exercise that we should all be doing - you sure did look young in your photos so I'm going to pout whilst putting mine away:rotfl:

More seriously bathrooms.

We changed loo roll brands a while back - from the puppy one to the eco one. Nobody has noticed or complained but wow has it cut down the dust in the bathroom from all those fluffy fibres - bet that is not good for anyone with a dust allergy astma (sp)

Bath toys in dishwasher cleaning.

How do you all clean your rubber bath mats - need something which will stop it being tinged orange but will not make the kids itch?

I don't actually clean mine but I do dry it after each us, I lay down the towel and put the mat on top and dry it that way seems to work

I'm always pouting.. it is how I look so young and glam lol.. it is a sultry kind of pout though not a stick out your lip and stamp your feet kind.. so make sure you get the right one.. (pedantic cow!)

I changed to the tesco value bog roll from the puppy one after getting sick of paying £5 every 3-4 days to have the little treasures flush half a roll and mop the floor with the other half!.. noone complained so far.. apart from my mother and she doesn't live here and if she doesn't like it she can bring her own!

Bath mats... DISHWASHER!!! OR.. you get sensible and stop buying cream ones.. the blue and green ones don't do it so noticably... mines blue!

Afternoon all

Cleaned bath, sink and toilet. I did the bathroom cabinet the other day and got rid of any rubbish. Vacuumed the floors yesterday when I was doing upstairs. That will have to do for today.

Some *** reversed into our car this morning. Done a lot of damage. I hope they don't write it off. It's the hassle more than anything, although we didn't want to change our car anyway - it's very reliable.

It really does feel like the longest day today.

pigpen

polly.. what a @rse that must be... I'd be furious!

DW done so now to beat the laundry into submission... starting with the pi$$y bedding!!
