Hey Ladies,

Just thought I'd start a new thread since we are into a new month hope no one beat me too it

I sold my 03 Sport for £85 inc delivery on Ebay am v.pleased, although a bit miffed by courier but I'm sure I'll manage. LOL

How is everyone?

Problem with eating outside here is that you are likely to have your lunch stolen by Seagulls, lol. On one memorable occasion last year, one flew down and stole Toms toast!

pebbles79 · 16/04/2009 12:13

Lol mama, have already emailed them asking if I can arrange courier, still waiting to hear back. Have a few things on there trying to sell to get funds, 3-6 months clothes anyone?

mamadiva · 16/04/2009 12:14

I had a cheese and onion pastie robbed off me one day down the quay in the town centre when I was out on my lunchbreak from school! LOL. A few years later one of my friends ended up with 3 stitches above his eye because one attacked him, I hate the things and somehow Dumabrton attracts them LOL.

There was a town in Scotland in a paper last year saying how they'd go into shops and steal ice cream. I do remember several swooping down at people last year walking along the High Street. Even though they are royal PITAs, I still feel sorry for the dead one at the weekend.

mamadiva · 16/04/2009 12:35

LOL I found dead one down the castle years ago horrid things.

DP had to climb on the roof to get it, lol. Think the maggots that fell out of it was worst!

mamadiva · 16/04/2009 13:11

LOL lovely!!!

Think I am just going to buy the blue apple type one sandpit.

Atleast if on the off chance he did manage somehow to break it(which he probably will) it won't cost the earth to replace. LOL.

I have 2 months yet but just getting out of the way.

So no furniture yet then

Where is Disenchanted these days???

Boak at the maggoty seagull

Friend just about to come over.

Nothing selling on ebay yet

pebbles79 · 16/04/2009 13:16

Ladies, would you start a dispute for something that you paid for a week past on Monday and hadn't received yet? Also had no communication from seller despite messaging them asking if it had been posted.

mamadiva · 16/04/2009 13:18

Have no idea Dis, MrsM and Maclaren have all vanished!

Getting quiet think maybe they have become all pushchaired out. I think I am now I know this is my last but talking wont hurt.

BexieID · 16/04/2009 13:18

No furniture. Now eating the last hot cross bun, lol. Will peel some potatos methinks! Can't really go outside as won't hear the door buzzer, lol.

mamadiva · 16/04/2009 13:20

I'd email seller informing them if item is not recieved by Monday and you have not heard from them you will be starting a dispute and leaving neg feedback.

Was it a lot?

OP posts:
pebbles79 · 16/04/2009 13:23

Just a footmuff but more the principle of the thing. I work and have 3 children and still manage to send things same day or next day after receiving payment.

mamadiva · 16/04/2009 13:25

True. Email them and give them till monday then go for it that way they cant say you never warned them or contacted them etc.

missed out on a bargain xt v. now but must remember my quest is more than adequate and a v.lovely colour!!! i just love a bargain (was £100 bnib!)

FlyMeToDunoon · 16/04/2009 13:41

I was waiting for a hoodie for DD3 for over a week and no response to emails until I said I would have to take it up with Paypal and then oooh suddenly they discovered it had been returned by the post office.
Thing is I then got copies from Paypal of their attempts to print postage label and another to say it had been posted.
Chancers!
Wonder if it's because I won for 99p.

Quiet here today.Am going out shortly if only to brak up the day.

How you feeling Nicola?

My whole family have had a virus that starts with a temp and sore throat and aching muscles and progresses to snotty nose and cough.
Horrible.

nicolamumof3 · 16/04/2009 14:29

yep ok, we went to tunbridge wells on train boys love any outing involving public transport was looking for crocs for boys as they had them in every colour last year in fenwicks but none this year.

they have peppa pig at RVP tomorrow!!

can't decide whether to sell or keep quest or get an xt. saw so many in town can't believe im lusting after such a 'boring' pushchair lol!!!

sweetkitty · 16/04/2009 16:19

Nicola - lol at you lusting after a "boring" pushchair, but you can get so many nice accessories to pimp it up

peebles - nightmare about the ebay seller

Flymetodunoon - same here we have all had coughs/colds and snotty noses well apart from DH but he says it's because he is superfit

BexieID · 16/04/2009 16:34

Just back from park. Furniture finally arrived at 2pm, and park is only a 5 min walk. Tom did scream down the £shop, the wee swine!

sweetkitty · 16/04/2009 16:37

Glad your furniture arrived, if I get anything delivered it either comes at 7am and gets me out of bed and the delivery men laugh at me in my PJs or I wait in all day and it comes at 5pm.

Right will go take some pics of the Lunamix now that friend has gone home and DD3 is asleep

nicolamumof3 · 16/04/2009 16:38

at work now, yipeeeee! not. only got two weeks left tho before my redundancy.
