Oooh @Laska, what have you got in your basket? I haven't really looked. I have kind of been avoiding it tbh. I really don't need anything else.

neveradullmoment99 · 03/02/2019 20:41

@wearnotacodfish. If it has shrunk, the seller has to pay the postage if it is not as described. Have you put in a claim? Ebay will force them to refund the postage so I wouldn't worry about it.

neveradullmoment99 · 03/02/2019 20:42

It does look shrunk. Does if feel tight and felted?

wearenotacodfish · 03/02/2019 20:54

Never it feels very tight on the arms and the material feels weird. I will open a dispute.

neveradullmoment99 · 03/02/2019 20:56

If you open a dispute she has to refund you the postage. Ebay will make her. So definitely do that.

ilovecherries · 03/02/2019 21:07

I have the pink puff sleeve sweat from last summer, Laska, I really like it and have worn it a lot but the dye is very badly set - pink rubbed off on bras and vests and even a year on its shedding pink in a 30C wash. Also have the grey tunic.

I have had a bit of a shit day and I know it's not hush related but when walking our dogs today we disturbed some badger baiters with dogs and spades trying to dig out a sett. Called the police (who were crap) and then local wildlife group who helped us go back and track the blood and we found the injured badger. Sadly after a day of trying to get help she had to be PTS as she was too badly injured. The RSPCA are now going to push for prosecution so hopefully something will be done. The worst of human life for a bit of blood sport. Sorry but I had to vent.

ilovecherries · 03/02/2019 21:13

Your jumper does look very small, codfish. Shrunk wool does have a very specific, tight felted feel to it, so that would be the decider for me if it’s like that. I also think it depends how it was described/were measurements given etc. Sellers are very badly treated on ebay though, they will always find in your favour as a buyer.

Whisky that is awful I can't comprehend how anyone Doyle take pleasure in such cruelty. Well done for trying to help but I'm sorry the outcome was a sad one.

The jumper was described as XS and in good used condition, good condition is subjective but this is unwearable.

Laska2Meryls · 03/02/2019 21:42

My grey puff sleeve tunic lost dye on the first wearing cherries i dropped a tiny splash of soup on it and dabbed /rubbed it wit a tissue..Bad move! .result was a with a much lighter patch right on the bust!!, I ended up finally dying it darker grey ..

Never just the the jersey nightie in midnight/ gold dot. in the end .(not sure so have ordered two sizes ) I did think about the tiger scarf, as had I had ordered that previously at higher sale price but decided not to .. I have loads of scarves!1

Ellapaella · 04/02/2019 09:18

@wearenotacodfish that has clearly shrunk, very obvious when looking at arm sleeves.
You can also email Hush and ask for item specific details if you know which season the jumper was from - so if from 2016 for example ask if they can give you arm lengths in cm etc and then compare.

@whiskyremorse sorry to hear that, that's awful. Poor badger 🦡
What an unpleasant end to your day.Thanks

dontcallmelen · 04/02/2019 10:44

Whiskey that’s awful, but least you tried to do something💐
Bernice lovely haul I love the Marlowe jacket.
Never my hair is quite long nearly bra strap length, I have a layered fringe then soft layers round the sides & long layers through the back so that it hangs nicely & is quite swishy but I do also put it up in a clip to ring the changes.
TMI feeling very delicate today, spent most of yesterday with my head down the toilet🤢 am very very fed at the moment it’s been one thing after another.

Laska2Meryls · 04/02/2019 10:49

Oh poor you Len Sad
Whisky how awful , that must have been so upsetting..

Toast are doing sandals in Olive this year! I might have to get som eof those .also Mustard which I also like ..

dontcallmelen · 04/02/2019 11:05

Ooh Laska they are lovely really like the colours.

ilovecherries · 04/02/2019 11:46

Poor you, len, it sounds awful. Hope you feel better soon. I am bloody terrified I catch anything now ore surgery, I’m going through anti bac gel, echinacea and vitC/zinc at a clip. Don’t know if any of them will actually help, but it’s making me feel proactive.

Thanks Cherries & Laska for the sympathy, I’m currently furiously Using zoflora/disinfectant on every surface, don’t blame you Cherries I think even if you feel as though you are doing something to protect yourself, it makes you feel a bit better.

whiskyremorse · 04/02/2019 12:26

Is anyone else surprised that eBay isn't full of sample sale items? I thought that Sunday would bring a load of new items but I don't think that there is significantly more than usual.

CrazyCrunk · 04/02/2019 13:30

@whiskyremorse you are joking, there are loads of them! Lots of single sellers with lots of different sized clothes, all styled quite nicely. It's annoying me, which is ridiculous as it's up to them what they do and nobody's forcing me to buy it.

SoyYo · 04/02/2019 14:30

Hello.
I’ve had a very difficult weekend...would rather not dwell on the details.
@melen What a bummer! One thing after another! I feel for you and wishing you get back to feeling your normal self again
@whisky horrid about the badger injury. People are so cruel I don’t understand why.
Nice to read about your sample sale hauls.
Thanks @laska for alerting on the xtra 10% off sale, I’ve ordered a few things just to see (and cheer myself up) and I’ve decided I’m returning everything that arrived in the last 2 weeks, Ryder jumper included...it’s just not “me” despite it being okay and not as itchy as I originally thought. This includes the Hope wrap...I’m just down at the mo and don’t feel the love for it either anymore.
The good news is the Moshulu boots and shoes purchase was a success. Totally love both and they fit my wide feet and are fab.
@never I’ve got very curly hair which has a mind of its own. I have to go to specialist curly hairdressers to get it trimmed every 4 months or so as normal hairdressers don’t know what to do. I feel your pain...

whiskyremorse · 04/02/2019 14:35

I just expected to see more than are up there. I think that the person who has listed about 15 items all at full Hush price will not the prices they hope for. I'm tempted to watch a load to see what they get relisted for when they don't sell🤔

dontcallmelen · 04/02/2019 14:45

Soy so very sorry to hear that you have had a difficult weekend & that you are feeling low💐 hope things improve very soon, glad at least the shoes & boots are a success.

CrazyCrunk · 04/02/2019 14:45

Ebaying them for the full selling price seems very optimistic and yet loads of people seem to do it 🤷‍♀️

whiskyremorse · 04/02/2019 14:55

Crazy - some people like to try their luck on ebay, I'm just annoyed as there were no small or medium jumpers on Saturday and some fkr has bought a load to sell on which is just plain greed when I would have bought to wear and enjoy!

whiskyremorse · 04/02/2019 14:57

Soy, sorry you've had a bad weekend and I agree you're best returning all your shopping and wait until you find clothes that spark as much joy as your new boots x

Laska2Meryls · 04/02/2019 15:24

Chester trainers - these are a real bargain esp with the extra 10% off really comfortable true to size and good for kipper feet! Feel good straight out of the box . leather lining also really recommend you grab a pair before the sale ends tonight
