    Hey Freeby, just having a nosey as I am nosey by nature :D (nosey old trout)

    Just seen your troubles with Mr T, no it is not the season for rows it's just circumstances and how things go sometimes. If you incur any costs then ask them for a refund as well because you need to be in a position as if this had not happened.

  • Hi FreebyFifty

    Great to see you have a new diary going. I have subscribed.

    I too am fighting my way out of our OD which is £3000 :eek:. I am having to pay large amounts to my two catalogue at the same time unfortunately but hope to have virtually killed of the catalogues and the OD by June 2013. Does'nt seem too far away if I say it quickly.

    Good luck on your journey, I will check in each day to follow your progress xx

    Hello there Kittie :wave:

    I did ask them for more for interest and goodwill and for some reason they have decided to give me £160 back altogether :j which I have to admit calmed me down quite a bit. I'd still never use them on-line again though, it just isn't worth the hassle :mad:

    Those book buying sites are a bit of a con are they not?
    If they don't like your book then they don't take it. I thought I could just list all my books then send them off and, viola, I'd sold them.
    Apparently, that is not how it works :mad: I input 6 isbn's and they don't want any of them!!!!!! They are now shared equally between Green Metropolis and Ebay to see if I can get rid of them that way.

    Who knew this would all be so much hard work, I am quite exhausted and feel the need for chocolate :rotfl:

    Hello :wave: [STRIKE]stalked[/STRIKE] followed you from the NSD thread, hope you don't mind.

    In three years I've sold three books on Green Metropolis :cool: £3 per book and £2.20 to post. Somehow I don't think I'm going to make a fortune that way....

    How many dogs do you have? Love animals! I have a horse and a cat both of which keep me out of pocket and on my toes most of the time.

    Oh by the way, thought I'd subscribe too!
