  • I have a vague recollection of a conversation on here about childhood horsie stories, I got this rather battered and misshapen Riding School book in the post as part of a survey, if any of Team Tuppence would like it for a bit of nostalgia let me know and I'll stick it in the post for you (free, I have a couple of spare stamps that will cover it)

  • Living in fear of being permanently locked out of my account! If you never hear from me again it's probably that rather than that I've had a complete nervous breakdown over the build though that's also a possibility

    Woke up horribly early for a Sunday but have dun:

    Shower using freebie toiletries

    Good steps doing various olio and vinted walks
    Found 1p

    Usuals

    Having rainy Sunday afternoon beer with Mr PIP then leftover pasta bake for dinner

    Happy Sunday everyone 🍻

  • Thank you so much for taking the time @jwil, I've done all those things but the automated email I got back sounded very pessimistic about someone getting back to you! Hopefully it'll be sorted soon 🤞

  • Aw thank you @doingitanyway, I feel like it should be sort-outable but then I've seen several people over time here saying they could never get back into their accounts and had to set up new emails and profiles so hoping that's not the case as I do not feel like I have the energy to deal with that. I really don't understand why the MSE reset emails aren't being sent/received 😔

  • Ooh I appear to have won three bottles of nice wine!

    Usuals

    Walk dropping off a vinted sale. Not sure there's enough postage on the label and the post office wouldn't let me top it up so fingers crossed it'll be okay

    Popped over to mums for exchange of bits and bobs

    Receipt survey

    Really should do the long list of build admin but my brain appears to be refusing to stress itself out.

    Little walk with Mr PIP for Happy Mondays beer enjoying this unexpected nice spring weather!

    Will try to consider this the bribe I need to do build admin. Or I might just continue having a lovely scroll 😁

    Mr PIP has made us a lush smelling curry for dinner, in our mission to use up some cupboard contents

    Happy Monday all 🍻

  • I was so confused @beanielou, I get that it's a pre-paid label and that can't be altered, but the label was for use of royal mail option so why I can't spend extra money with royal mail stamps is beyond me.
    Have a feeling I'm going to be out of pocket with this one despite selecting the option vinted recommended, but lesson learnt if so, it's certainly not the buyers fault

    That’s my kind of win, 3 bottles of wine. I only drink maybe a bottle once a month so would last as well. Post office definitely not what it used to be. Can’t remember the last time I received any post either.
