    Right Folks let's get back to the £299.99 Ebay Kitchen Larder saga.
    Remember the one?
    Well I checked today to see if it had been relisted. It hasn't, but to my surprise feedback had been left! :eek:
    Surely it wasn't a genuine buyer?!
    Well, Sherlock here took a look -
    feedback for the buyer was left 31/3/08 at 18.34,
    feedback for the seller was left 31/3/08 at 18.37.
    Wow a coincidence? I think not. :mad:
    Seems he bid himself then.
    What an idiot - he'll have to pay fee's now - all to save face! :rolleyes:

    *disclaimer* of course it could be that both buyer and seller happened to leave feedback within minutes of each other..... lol


    Very fishy, allegedly:rotfl:

    The 60 minute makeover show has just finished doing a Shabby Chic effect bedroom and a couple of other rooms. Although I didn't see how it was all done I have managed to tape the showing of the rooms.

    I think it might be repeated, checked for tonight and unfortunately it isn't repeated tonight :(

    I just caught the end of the show and saw the young girls' Shabby Chic effect bedroom. I preferred her room to the sickly brown parents room:o .

    If I were them I'd either swap rooms or at least paint over the dark brown walls with a lighter colour.

    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    Well I have to say I watched the 'reveal' of 60 mm and can't say I really liked much of it. The bed and bedspread ( & she already had the bedspread !) were nice and the white furniture in the daughter's room - but the rest not for me.

    Yes but if you actually had it done you'd have £15k-£20K of stuff which you can keep or sell, and a few tins of paint to go over anything you don't like isn't going to be much.
