Ebay

A while back I purchased two items from Ebay on behalf of my mum. They never arrived and the horrid seller refused to reply to any of my emails. So I reported him to Ebay and found out that I qualified to receive compensation from them. Great I thought - it would mean that I only lost £8.00 out of the £40 I had spent as they don't cover postage costs (which came to £8) . A week ago £17.00 mysteriously appeared in my account from Ebay - on querying this Ebay said this is correct as they have subtracted a £15.00 admin charge from the £32.00 leaving me £17.00. £15 admin charge for what!!! They are as bad as the banks. So, as Peter says, if I had bought something for £15.00 or less I have just lost the money. Not impressed at all!

Today started very well as I came into work expecting to be pounced on by the boss with a shed load of work but it turned out he was going off to a meeting much earlier than expected. So, I have had time to get through a bit of a backlog that had built up. I am looking forward to this week as I'm only working today and tomorrow and then I'm off for the rest of the week :-)

Tonight it is fat club (Weight Watchers) and according to our scales I should have lost about 1.5lbs - on Mondays I tend to eat pretty much nothing all day just to give myself that extra edge on the Weight Watchers scales of doom. So far today I've only had two plain yoghurts and I actually don't feel hungry which is good.

Tonight we are having an early pancake day - no proper tea just pancakes. As I won't have eaten much I should be able to fit them into my calorie allowance.

Will continue this blog later with how things have gone for the rest of the day.
