Oh tweets...perhaps you've been winning too many times on the zoflora facebook thing and they have decided to send it to you in one go....!!!

Every morning you post the link...and every morning I try...

You'll have to let us know what it is when its delivered...

I have only won a bottle twice second one this morning Why would that need an international signature ?

I will post what it is Wednesday

Hope its something good

I also have dentist 6 monthly check up after work Wednesday hopefully nothing needs doing

I could cry ! I have been spending every moment I had cleaning and de-rusting my 30 year old silver cross pram til it gleamed- just one problem as I mentioned last week when getting it down from the loft I could only find 3 wheels and even after searching for hours I could not find the other one. I decided to order a new one- same size, spring mechanism -sorted-
I need the pram for sunday- my MIL 85th birthday and as she bought the pram originally I thought it would be rather fetching if we walked to hers with her new 12 week old great grandson in the silver cross- You never know we could bump into Kate pushing baby Charlotte - they only live 3 miles away-
The wheel arrived, perfect size, it has the spring mechanism but it wouldn't fit,and on messaging the silver cross spare place, he tells me the model I have is early 70s and the wheel wont fit:eek:----yet the photo of a wheel on the website is like mine.
So if anyone has a 14 inch silver cross wheel spare please let me know

Got a bit of a wild idea that if someone could do a message that we could all post on our facebook account(s), it might go viral and we could get the missing wheel.
Is that idea doable?

This is where I come unstuck. Item was £1.99, postage was £6. So still a massive bargain for it but it is bugging me that I could have £2-3 less for it

On balance I think I'll leave it

Think £8 is a bargain.
I have tried to have a clear out, selling on ebay, the seller would have been charged 80p fees, 48p paypal fees, 2.80 postage = £4.08 charges = sold item for £3.92 less packaging, less time, fuel, listing fee perhaps! I feel really sorry for sellers who are trying to recoup a few quid for their stuff, never to be given feedback or for buyers not to be grateful of their lovely bargain.


Just my opinion! x

There's a Coach Built Pram Spares page on Facebook, have you asked them?

What was even worse was when I did a car boot once, a woman trod all over some of my stuff, then tried haggling for it for next to nothing because it was dirty!


Never again....

Wont be like last time I went with toothache.
Needed a crown , loads injections which I am terrified of Still had toothache with crown . Back to dentist he wanted to do a screw in crown or something :eek: seeing it was back tooth I told him no and to take it out . This went on for nearly 6 months with me having toothache.

Sorry but I don't pay because I get a bit housing /council tax benefit . Hate to think what it would have cost me last time I went.

Did you do the Tropical Red Bull game tweets? I got a parcel left in my porch from that this morning. Not international though, according to the sticker it came from Lancashire
