  • It's looking more likely by the minute it will be Santa paper.

    I haven't moved much today :o Must do better tomorrow! Just having a coffee and have made fresh hot water bottles. Smalls are all sleeping. No doubt youngest will come and join me at some strange hour.

    Remember the post box saga? Well the post arrived back with me today. So confused. Which means £30 returned into my purse, but also means person expecting didn't receive and didn't say anything! :embarasse:naughty:

    That means I have a post run to do because I already had a thank you card to post and now I have this and the school photos. It means I'll have to go to the one further away :cool:

    That explains it ;)
    Didn't say owt cos of everything else you had going on at the time and I didn't want to upset you... sorry :o

    However, you now have a wee bitty extra in your purse, so that's a good result :D

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    Treatment day again. The weeks are flying by eh.

    Wrapped DD's presents in the Christmas paper that isn't very 'Christmas' and stuck stickers on out the craft box :rotfl: She will love it though so that's all that matters!

    Have got some cleaning done and dropped dinner in the slowcooker. So at least everyone will be fed even if it is a long day.

    US :cool: I was lucky really, not only the money and things but the pictures of the kids too as I don't have another copy of some of them. Teach me for just dropping things in the box rather than sending 'properly' it's a pain now all our smaller post offices have moved into shops. I miss the little post office and the staff that worked/lived there :(


    Have a good day all

  • I always send important stuff direct from the Post Office, luckily tho I have a great wee PO right next to me :D

    A new twist in my Fleabay saga, the busted amp has now been returned to me, as the seller didn't pick it up... should I try sending again or just recycle it through my local recycling facility? A few folks have said, "it's yours, do what you want with it" but I'm not so sure...

  • Our little postie was great. It's a shame so many have closed. It's moved into the local Sp@r now and it's hardly ever open. I will make sure I go to the post office this time though and resend everything properly.

    Are you paying return postage? If so I wouldn't resend :o I'd ask eBay

  • Thanks :D

    No, I'm not paying owt for postage, they had their chance to collect and didn't; it sat in their local PO for ages!
    I've contacted Ebay for advice / info and waiting for response, seller is a waste of space / time...

    Think I just need to write Thursdays off totally.

    Neighbour took smalls to school and collected from school until their Dad finished work and brought them home. They all had takeaway for dinner :o Bad mum alert.

    Nothing else to say really.

    Thanks for all popping in

    Nothing to feel bad about, you've had treatment, it's made you feel off, it certainly doesn't make you a bad mum. Tomorrow is another day xx
