    Good morning. I have the Friday feeling :) Looking forward to the weekend.
  • Good morning.

    So as expected the settee didn't arrive, majestic cancelled my second order using the £30 voucher so I felt that I just couldn't deal with a company who would do such a thing so I have cancelled my concierge order, but apart from that things are good.
    The decluttering continues I took a car boot full of clothes to the weigh in place across from where I work and got £18 which I'm pleased with. I have put some of dh shoes on ebay but that's become a disaster, I did them on my phone, so the pictures weren't very big and I've added a wrong picture and because there's been a bid I cannot change it. It's reminded me why I don't do ebay.
    So I eagerly await the gusto delivery today and as I'm off I may declutter another room. DH is quite nervous he took some convincing to part with any of his clothes he's panicking I'll get rid of more whilst he's at work.

  • Good morning all, a bit dull here.


    Had a look at that supersaver tool, thought it would come up with a nice list but not great, but cheaper than paying for delivery.

    Same top but missing a patch of sequins which have obviously been pulled off!
    Decided to refund, can't be bothered to investigate.
    Didn't realise but e fees are refunded, so it's cost me postage x 2 plus 20p PayPal transaction, so just over £6 to sell nothing and end up with a damaged return!

    That's awful curl girl - I have been stung a couple of times in the past so now I take a quick look at the feedback they have left for others and if I'm unsure then I don't send it

    It's free listing & max £1 fees again this weekend if anyone is interested :o

    I love decluttering too but always time consuming when you're a bit of a hoarder:rotfl:

    I got my first invite from Kantar in a very long time. It came at 1.05 when I was safely tucked up in bed. Get what you were all on about now.
    Of course spaces were all gone the time I logged in;)
