    Sad dad are you doing park run. Done it 3 times. Can't run it all but you get a bit faster each time. Do 100 runs get a t shirt. :j

    Hi Rosie,

    Yes, park run. Started with a couple of 2K runs going around with my youngest daughter. Last week I did my first 5K, never ran that far in my life and had to stop and walk 4 times. Today I managed to get around without stopping, took me 30 minutes but if I keep going I'm sure I can improve.

    It's good exercise and gets me out of the house early on a Sunday morning, feeling great now.

    Cheers,
    Sad_Dad

    Morning all hope everyone is well.

    Apologies to lovely MKS as I've only just found your email. I've replied now :)xx
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    Good afternoon Elite :hello:

    :coffee: overload this morning :eek: trying to kickstart my mojo ain't working :cool:

    Late night last night watching a dose of paranormal stuff, which reminds me, my evening out on Thursday to An Evening of Clairvoyance went quite well. I'm hoping to go to the next event in May :)

    Sun shining now, so whatever you're doing, go easy, enjoy your day and never overspend :D

    Hugs to the Elite poorly and those low in spirit, you're in my thoughts today xx
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    :(

    I feel for the eBay sellers who have auctions ending today. Items are going at very low prices :(
    So many people can't get on to the site.

    It offered 7/10/30 days so have reduced to 10 and will see what happens on the fees if I actually sell anything.

    Thanks

    Anon

    Morning luvlies

    Not caught up yet but remember seeing your post yesterday Anon.

    I've just been on livechat with eBay for the past 20 minutes. I received an email on Friday 14/04 offering £1 selling fees for 4 days. As usual I clicked the link in the email to activate the offer and proceeded to list quite a few items over that weekend.

    eBay has been down all morning so I didn't get a chance to check until an hour ago, 3 of my items have sold this weekend, 2 of them for over £30 each and one, DD2's handbag, sold for just under £100. When I checked my eBay account to see the fees to deduct from her sale, I noticed I'd been charged full price, not the promotional fee of £1 per item :eek:

    While on Livechat I had to send them a screen shot from my iPad of the promotional email via use.com (never used this before) after which he concurred that due to outdated information in my browser's data, their system didn't recognise that I had accepted the promotion. What the actual :mad: Anyway, as a gesture of goodwill he's adjusted my fees so I'm about £14 up :)

    He did say on ending the chat that in future I should visit the promotional section of my eBay account to check I have subscribed to the offer. This I suggest we all do in case it happens again.
