18th November - Place order. I get told when the order confirmation comes through that it is out of stock (but they let me order and take my money)

19th November - Goods dispatched email. I do a happy jig and all is forgiven... until my "order" arrives - the invoice telling me that my goods are out of stock and will follow later.

24th November - I call to find out an eta (what with it being a month to go etc). Due in stock on 28th. Hurrah says I and tootle off.

TODAY - Still not here, so I call again. The 28th delivery was cancelled - now due in on... 2nd January!

So. It is now 13th December.

I have only got £37.95 to spend (what I am being refunded) - and I need to get 2 digital photo keyrings, and 1 digital desk photo frame with that money.

I was getting this and this

Please can you help me find something similar, within my budget, that will arrive before Sunday 23rd.

So pissed off and in tears.

Stupid crappy site (apologies to whoever's DH that works there)

mumofmonSTARsOfBethlehem · 13/12/2007 16:07

or Psycho even!

another here

ChristmasSendsMePsycho · 13/12/2007 16:12

good days and bad day and then days when I am super hyped and bouncy and then regret it days.

good asnwer????

but really.......hips feel like half the time I want to chop them off. especially at night when my calf muscles keep cramping and locking and I end up screaming.

apparently I have 'moderate damage to my sacro-illiac joints' which is the two joints in your pelvic at the back, either side of your spine. joints sit above my sciatic nerve, so am alos suffering sciatica!! (double sob)

ribs still hurt too when I pick up anything heavy or a child, but I can at least wear bra's again!

otherwise, all is grand.

would much rather be heavily pregnant to be honest, as at least there is a decent reason for the crappy pain instead of some stupid arse driver not lookin where he is going!!!

heyho....

mumofmonSTARsOfBethlehem · 13/12/2007 16:15

ouch

I can sympathise with the sacro iliac pain as i keep getting that hurts like HELL but i guess i am lucky in that i know when it will go!

Where has Flame gone? I can't stay online long....

ChristmasSendsMePsycho · 13/12/2007 16:28
