    If you do cash on collection.. use a receipt book!! They are a couple of quid at the post office and very useful as evidence!!
    Paypal offers buyers protection; if you allow collection of items when paid for through paypal you will fall foul of paypal rules as there is no tracking to prove delivery. I never accept paypal if the buyer collects. I send (mainly) through collect plus, which protects me as a seller because the delivery is tracked (subject to goods arriving in good condition, that is).

    Anyway, the news is now official. The kids CHEERED and hugged me when they learned I will be working p/t with them again next year:D:D:D:D:D:D I nearly fell over:rotfl:

    Hi - sorry can't remember who said their niece and n-in-law were on Homes under The Hammer today - but have just watched it. What a lovely couple and a beatiful home - sure they'll be so happy especially when baby is born.

    That was me, too. I am desperate for the hols to start then I can knit her a blanket I saw in Prima. We are all thrilled for them. I was under the impression that the baby news wasn't going to be on, but there you go!
    She has had some health problems so we are hoping she remains well throughout.

    House, BTW, is a tip.:rotfl:But we are NOT yet at 'cleaning the floor with a shovel' stage so I'm not worried;)

    I've managed some flying today.

    DS3 has a friend sleeping over from India
    DS2 taken to his leavers dinner

    I should be at a girlie get together, not in the mood but think I'll pop along at 9ish for an hour, not drinking as need to collect DS2 later. It is for my friend who had BC so feel I should go.
