Tell Us Something Really Trivial About Your Life Volume 38
Discussion
Many congratumalations, Byker and the family. There's nothing puts a smile on the face like having a new small person around.
IOTN I took mine for his first jabs down at the local quacks this morning. A small amount of squawkage but all in all a successful mission.
I have left over Jambalaya for lunch. Which is nice.

The Ebay moron hasn't put right HIS cock up that only affects MY account .
I will get it removed or I will remove all my future selling .
That'll learn them !
Think of all the fees they will lose when I sell something for £3.99 and make 54p profit .
The buyer bought 2 items of the same genre from 2 sellers , the other item seemingly arrived broken and posted the feedback on my account .
What a Div .

Many congrats, Byker. And many commiserations, 1000M.
Good afternoon, as it is now - I've been AWOL this morning, in Bawnmuff. I decided to have a morning out, either in Lymington or Bawnmuff, and as i haven't graced the latter with my presence for a while, I decided to brave it.
And, two massive traffic jams later, there I was, picking my way through the rough sleepers in the doorways of closed department stores, and wondering why I bothered. Still, the walk along the promenade was nice, and the sun was shining.
Tomorrow, I have a visit to my GP for the annual extraction of some blood, for analysis, and discussion at a later date, so I'm on a diet consisting mostly of salad, chicken, and water until tomorrow lunch time. Wish me luck. I'm planning curry and a beer for dinner tomorrow evening.
In other news, there's not much happening, although I have to collect my sister and brother-in-law from Bawnmuff Airport on Friday, they've had a couple of weeks in Spain at a friend's villa. And I've just heard from a good friend of mine, apologising for a lack of contact as he and his lady wife have been in the South of France, at their holiday flat. I keep asking myself why I don't disappear off sausage-side for a few weeks. Perhaps I should.
Oh well. Another reduced-calorie meal this evening, then I'm off the hook for a while. Hopefully.

No , sellers cannot give bad feedback to buyers ,them's the rules .Here's another one .
Couple of weeks ago , Bidder on one of my items had the worst "positive " feedback imaginable , many many " not paid for"
or "this person is a waster , please ban them " , but all of them in the positive column because of the rule above .
They didn't pay for my item , I had to wait about 5 days before I could cancel for non payment and then I offered it to the under bidder who I had already messaged and was happy to receive the second chance offer and bought my thing and paid for immediately .
There's a really nice old car going through auction this weekend , can't afford it and I am the wrong person to own it as it
would just deteriorate in my garage .
It's lived in Italy almost it's whole life , with very little use and is immaculate and IMO under estimated by Auction house .
It's just lovely and I will try and watch the auction to see it sell .
Exceedingly rare car now as all the others have disolved to tindust .

I do however, rather like Swannage and it may be to do with the fact i have to drive through Corfe Castle to get to it but i do like the little place.
Lady Slopes likes Swannage because it's full of shops that sell tat that she can buy 400cwt of

I stopped being a eBayer that very day.
DickyC said:
That must have changed after my run in with eBay. I won the bidding and sent the money. The vendor immediately posted a non-payment complaint and sold the item to someone else. Or stiffed everyone in sight, I'm not sure. Anyway, I complained to eBay and put bad feedback. The vendor emailed me all hurt and put out as to why I could possibly do this to him when all he was doing was trying to grow a small business and left me hair-raisingly bad feedback. Then I received an email from eBay saying they would overlook my non-payment this time but if I did it again I would be banned.

There should be a sticky daily Ebay moan thread . It's a clusterduck of epic proportions .I stopped being a eBayer that very day.
I might stop soon too but I have a large car part which could get me big ££££££££££ ,only thing holding it back is it will
have to be collection only due to size . It's out of a 1978 Ford so should be highly desirable .
I might list it this weekend if the fortnightly 80% off seller's fees offer appears in my inbox again .
Everyone says use Facebook marketplace but FB just makes me shudder .
FB can FO .

That could be a day out some time next week. Hmmm...
That area of Dorset is my families ancestral home .
My dad , his 2 brothers and their parents all now rest in one graveyard in Lytchett Matravers .
One lot of cousins and their mother all live in / around Bouremouth ,Poole
I just looked at Google maps but couldn't find it but there's a road with family connection name .
Me and sisters visited it when there in 2018 to lay dad's ashes to rest .
ETA......I put my surname into Google maps with Lytchett Matravers , a road popped up named X road ....
I might revisit and claim by family land back .
or not .

b
ks do they, they protect whoever makes them money end of story.In this case, it was £18 all in, not a lot of money granted but this thief took the money then when i chased him up denied ever having heard from me. So i went back to fleabay and raised a complaint and to have him kicked off, they said they were going to investigate but came back to me within an hour saying i hadn't given the postage address
b
ks - i clearly hadAnd that the seller would refund me the money and there was nothing more they could, or would, do on this occasion
b
ks did he refund me.That was 2018 and i swore then in my scathing email that i would never buy from their jumble sale website ever again and i have been true to my word bar one exception - the TT Residents parking permit - and i will never buy from them as long as i live.
Bunch of absolute charlatans who could not give a flying fhoot about the people who use their site as long as they are making money.
Apologies for my absence, it's been a busy day!!
Strangely I quite like Bornmuff, the gardens are a pleasant wander as is the promenade, there are a few nice places to eat and drink too!!
Haven't been to Swanage in a very long time, maybe it's time we went back!!
Tonight's culinary delights were a cheese and ham omelette due having eggs to use up!!
