Morning ladies, Got myself all up ready and dressed for 8am to ring the doctors and the earliest they could get me an appointment was 11.20!! Twats!! Ah well cup of tea and cuddles with doggy on the sofa then :)

Hows everyone else?

Ended up with a headache most of yesterday, feeling a bit better today.

Hope everyone is having a great Monday.

WL - hope it goes okay for you at the GP. While you are there get him to prescribe you some Gaviscon for heartburn (even if you haven't got it now, it'll be useful to have a huge bottle on hand if it does kick in - I am now swigging straight from the bottle!)

WinterLover · 23/05/2011 09:03

Gaviscon only relieves for about 5min now :( Its pretty much constant and when it gets bad it sends sharp pains into my back and down my arm. Mentioned it last time to them and they said if it carries on there is a tablet they can perscribe.. so will see what they say. Any food or drink seems to set it off, with teh exception of crackers with butter on (dont think i can survive on them for the next 13 weeks lol)

Hope your feeling better today, have a chill out day :)

In order to prove your identity, you must first answer this secret question.

Gin and Water: Good thing or Bad thing?

Kara - how could you? How could you??

Poor Gin. Its feelings are hurt now.

I shall have to drink it all to make me it feel better.

WinterLover · 23/05/2011 16:24

Thanks it im officially never going back to my place of work :( signed off for another 6 weeks, then 3 weeks annual leave before ML kicks in. They will offer me a jobn with them after ML if there is one there however as my contract is due to end in Aug (building will have been built and site cabins removed in Aug) there is no garantee, just like there wouldnt have been had I not got myself knocked up. Still cant help but feel guilty though :(

ConfessionsOfaFlask · 23/05/2011 16:27

Winter- Don't feel bad. Something will come in time and place. Just remember, what is important now = you and bump are healthy.

Hows you COF?

WinterLover · 24/05/2011 07:14

ARGH bloody ebay!! Dont know why we bother selling stuff... dam bloody buyers!!!

And breath Grin

KaraStarbuckThrace · 24/05/2011 08:18

WL - I feel your pain, managed to sell 11 out of 22 buyers, fortunately have been paid for all but 2 buyers.
I gave them 3 days to pay, tonight I will be able to file a non-paying bidder report.
They have already had 3 reminders I am NOT sending any more.
If I end up doing the non paying bidder report they'll pay up and leave me with neg feedback :( I have a 100% feedback rating and I don't want to lose it :(

WinterLover · 24/05/2011 08:35

Its crap, i swear its not worth the hassle. Had a buyer win an item a week last sun, he emailed to say can he pay tues pm, said yes fine. He actually sent payment wed pm.... and since friday he's been chasing his bloody item... got another message from him last night saying ''sort it out its been ages' so I gave it him straight this morning... If it didnt say delivery 6-8 days from payment on the listing i could imagine he's getting fustrated but FGS he started complaining at 2 days from payment!!

We send all our items (DP's car bits) but courier now as we've had too many c**ts say 'Ive not had it delivered' then they're up selling our item a week or two later!! They get their money back and we lose our item!

Im like you have 100% feedback and dont want to lose that, it is crap tho.. ebay tends to work in the buyers favour.

WinterLover · 24/05/2011 09:02

God that was a rant and half wasnt it Grin maybe I should keep away from people today lol

KaraStarbuckThrace · 24/05/2011 09:43

Definitely agree, it is heavily weighted in the favour of the buyer :(

ConfessionsOfaFlask · 24/05/2011 10:21

Morning all- Sorry to hear about the eBay aggro.

OP posts:
WinterLover · 24/05/2011 10:46
