    Apparently got £50 from my family to repay that loan yesterday and didn't realise so I'm actually at £74 and on target despite my laziness :rotfl:

  • Welcome back, lexbubbles, the place hasn't been the same without you;)

    I hope you get rid of your cold soon. Here's some lovely hot tea or a Lemsip which might help a bit:coffee:

    *grips tea* thank you. I don't get ill very often, or for very long (I always joke that I have an autoimmune disease so the only thing allowed to attack me is me :rotfl:) but when I do I seem to get a week's worth of symptoms in one day before it vanishes again. So i get VERY VERY sick for a short period of time. I should be okay by this evening - the worst of it started yesterday afternoon so I reckon I don't have much more in me.

    Just sold a book for £3.80 on Amazon which is £1.70 after fees :(

    Edit: I am 100% going to make a hot toddy with whiskey very soon if i can stop leaking for long enough

    It's a pity you didn't get the 'sold' email from Amazon as it could have resulted in bad feedback for you if you hadn't checked your account and seen that the order was awaiting dispatch:eek:

    I don't know how common that is but luckily, in hundreds of sales over the years, they've never failed to email me :j

    It's marked as "late shipping now" but I shot the buyer and email and apologised for my new-year-flu and that I'll send it tomorrow. Hopefully they don't hate me too much for sending it after 4 days instead of within 2.

    Went back and checked the trash folder in my email in case I deleted it accidentally and there's definitely nothing there :mad:

  • Nothing for me to add today but I wanted to pop on and say how impressed I am with prolific.

    Yesterday I did a study on listening to sentences which I probably got just over half way through. Froze twice on me....the first time I could carry on with it but second it just went kaputt.

    Thought no more of it as I have had years of experience with survey sites ..............but

    I got a message from the lady who had done the study asking why I didnt complete it. I explained what had happened and she is going to pay me £2.70 for the time I DID manage!

    Quite amazed and pleased.

    Its only the second study I have done.......is there a best time to check the site or is it just a matter of checking often?

    The studys are far more interesting than any other survey site I have done.

    That sounds like a reasonably happy ending:T. Certainly a better time for something like that to happen than just before Christmas when people were anxiously awaiting things they'd bought as gifts:eek:

    All should be well because you notified the buyer about the problem but there's nowt so queer as folk as they say. So in the unlikely event they decide to give negative feedback it would be worth contacting Amazon to see if they'll remove it as it was their fault not yours. I find feedback on Amazon is nothing like as common as on eBay (where it seems to be practically compulsory:rotfl:) and only about 1 in 10 of my buyers ever leaves any:(. I expect they would if they had any gripes about me though;)

    I mean they only pay for second-class post anyway how quickly can you reasonably expect to receive anything :rotfl:

    I have like 11 eBay buyers to email with SORRY I CAUGHT THE PLAGUE AND I LIVE BY MYSELF SO CAN'T BRIBE ANYONE ELSE TO GO TO THE PO

    So many packages to send. So little will to move.
