oh no hun!!! I can't even like your post. bad news

can't even suggest signing up OH instead as they may have flagged your address.

I too have been using my stamps for ebay sales. As it makes a big saving. Also been using for my MS jobs where i have had to return items and the payment for returning has been included in the fee. It saves me money!

I don't know what to suggest. Maybe try applying again in a month's time and see how they react. They may let you back on.

Yes, as you said, it's the address that has been compromised.

I still have that international one, it pays out about £8 a month and I only have to log received items and send the transponders back daily in the supplied envelope. No going to PO with cubes etc;). Seems to be ongoing rather than in stints and is based in Hamburg so nothing really to do with RM.

Fingers crossed I'll keep my place on that one:)

How did your meeting up with your old friend go CBC?

Hope you had a good day?

Thanks for asking KM:beer:


To be honest I was so glad when it was over:j. They weren't friends as such, it was a husband and wife that I used to work with. The husband is a genuinely nice person and we worked really well together in a very stressful environment. There were 6 of us in the team at that time and we always had each other's backs. I understood that some of our 'old' team would be there too and that was my real reason for going.

Then the wife was recruited to our branch, albeit to another department, and things started to change. She seemed to be able to influence him in such a lot that went on in our department (which wasn't her job), even his personality changed, we were all being hauled over the coals for no reason and the atmosphere became very difficult. We were all looking over our shoulders all the time. I think she was angling to get someone to leave so she could get in there herself but it never happened because she didn't have the necessary professional qualifications.

Two long-serving colleagues couldn't stand it any longer and left. There was no scope for promotion where I was so I left myself for a 'sideways' move which involved a very long and difficult daily commute. OH said I should have done something, taken someone to a tribunal or something, but I wasn't in a union of any sort so just wimped out:o

Eventually they moved elsewhere after all of their parents died and left them very comfortably off indeed with their houses and lots of money. They are both 'only' children. As a couple they must be worth well over a million now, not including their own house, savings and pension . Envious, moi?:o

They fancied revisiting old haunts and invited a few old colleagues and their partners to have Sunday lunch with them at the very posh hotel/restaurant where they were staying. I was very torn as the husband and I had been through a lot workwise and I was happy to see him again and I knew the 'old' gang had been invited as well. I was dreading having to spend any time with his poisonous wife though. Apparently, the others felt the same as only one couple accepted the invitation and even they made excuses and left as soon as they'd finished their after-lunch coffee. OH wouldn't come with me in the end, he knew how miserable and stressed I'd been in the past because of them. I can't have been the easiest person to live with in those black days:o

Sorry to rant but you did ask, KM:rotfl:. I can't say much to OH, his greeting to me when I got back looking miserable was ''I told you not to go. I've no sympathy'':(

What a Moaning Minnie I am today:o. To anyone who's bothered to read all this rabbiting:A, sorry.

:rotfl: Don't apologise! I love reading about work politics as I have been through a few myself in the past and met a few poisonous women along the way too!

I hope you didnt sit it out to the bitter end? I think I would have been like the other couple and escaped as soon as it was polite to do so.

Guessing you wont be rushing to repeat the experience.

You're right, I made my apologies and left (in my 14 year old car:rotfl:) about half an hour after the others:rotfl:. It was so lovely there though sitting in the sun after our wonderful meal, peacocks strutting across huge velvet lawns, trickling fountains, blossoms and flowers everywhere. I've never experienced a venue like it and probably won't ever again. Shame I couldn't linger longer:(

Bit of a silly question for you experts (although Im guessing I already know the answer.)

ReceiptHog.........does it accept foreign receipts? Just thinking its something I could carry on next week while away. What a saddo I am. Just cant get away from the mindset of making a little extra. :cool:

Aesop

I am still making money, just been quiet as so tired in the evenings. Sometimes just watch tv and goto bed.

Yesterday I sent off some stamps to DCD Philaletics, so will let you know when I have received money from him. I know it won't be much as was only a little envelope, but just wanted to get some cash coming in. Don't think I have received my money yet from webuybooks, must chase that up.

67p received from the streetlottery for my referral who won the $5 and I won $1. I like Nick the guy who runs it, he is funny.

received £5.10 from onepulse but I think I already posted that.

£1.34 from slidejoy

£5 amazon from shopprize

had another 3 ebay sales.

80p from shopmium

cashed in for a £5 gift voucher from bounts. Forget what i ordered now lol

7p from qmee

£3 from streetbees

swagbucks £5

£24 from ebay sales

£5 voucher from Givaudan

£1 amazon from instagc

£99.08 so far this month :money::T:beer:

no it doesn't unforutnately. How do I know? I uploaded a receipt and it came back as foreign receipt, we do not accept these. I told them it was an english receipt! from a BP garage and they put it through again correctly.
