Someone on ebay just bought and paid instantly (as stated in the T&Cs of my auction) for my Sony Ericsson K810i which Orange sent me even though I didn't want it ... for £110Kerching ... nice :D Can't complain at that really ... it didn't sell at £140 and £120, so this is not a bad price all in all. Especially as it cost me nothing :D ( Read more... )

Got my own car back today ... hurrah. Had to wait for ages at the garage to get it back because they hadn't replaced the alloy wheel which had a couple of big gauges out of it. It turns out they had the replacement but there'd been some mix up with admin and it hadn't got done. So, I had to wait in this office for about an hour and a half whilst ( Read more... )

no response from the seller about the manual either, so I bet I'll have to report them to ebay in a few days!

Sooooooo, I've ordered the rest of the spare parts I need for the Mos Espa set from Bricklink ... had to make up the orders to "minimum" amounts which meant I spent about £7 in all, but I've got some bits that I needed for other "projects" :D So it's all good .... I've asked the seller for a £3 part refund to make up for the missing bits and the ( Read more... )
