    Thank you all for your good wishes, sorry I can't reply to you all individually.
    Mum and I both went down with Novovirus yesterday and I have only just managed to get out of bed.
    Kept ringing her yesterday and got no answer, so rang the ward, luckily got the Staff Sister, who told me Mum had been quite ill and they were due to move her to another hospital, but this had now been delayed until she is over it.
    Now all 4 patients in the ward have had it, visiting is allowed again""at your own risk" But I am not allowed any contact for at least 48 hours

    Hi any ebay experts here. I recently sold an old piano for 1p 10 days ago . Had previously tried to get rid of it on fb groups, freegle etc.let down 3 times right at the last minute.
    Anyway, this person has paid their 1p, but when I email them to ask when they are picking it up, they keep saying still looking for a van. Latest is they say will pick up by this Thursday as its for their sister as a birthday pressie.
    Meanwhile, I have OH keep nagging me about it, saying if they don't turn up by Thursday, he is going to ask some person who specialises in taking away 2nd hand pianos, to take it away at a cost of £110 :eek:
    So, where do I stand if this ebayer lets me down and doesn't collect the piano. Can I put it back on sites. I have had emails from people on freegle etc, saying is piano still available and of course I cant let it go as this ebayer has paid 1p. So frustrating.
    Anyway, any advise, welcome. Cant bear the thought of OH paying someone £110 to take the piano away and then that person will probably renovate it and sell it on.

    quick q..........with the amex small shops thing is it one solitary purchase in each shop? So only once in the shop over the promotion? Am thinking I may need a list of where to go as i'm in the !!!! end of nowhere with very few shops! and we know some people love lists lol

    Not sure if anyone has answered this yet. My understanding is you need to spend £10 in one store/one transaction to get the £5 credit. You can only do that once per store (so for 1stop, that is each shop/unit counts as a separate store). If you have supplementary cards (and register them for the offer separately - each card has to be registered) then you can get the offer on that card too as it is once per card not once per account :).
