patsylabrador Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 We went out on the motorbike this morning. Bit cold and it was a bit too close to post Christmas really to wriggle into the kit. I love the fast bits but hate roundabouts. Blew away a few cobwebs, very refreshing.

redhotchick Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Been into Liverpool. Met a friend for lunch. Had a quick look at clothes in the sales. Didn't buy a single thing! (other than lunch). Weird to come completely empty handed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoid Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I have been searching for a new phone on eBay. I found one on Sunday being sold by a reputable seller with a good amount of feedback. I put in a bid and won. Yesterday I paid for it by PayPal. Today, I received an email from eBay's loss prevention department, telling me the listing had been removed and I should not continue with the sale . Then I received an email from PayPal, telling me they had put the transaction on hold and they were reviewing the case. I few hours later, PayPal sent me another email, saying the case was closed and they had reversed the transaction. I have never had anything like this happen to me on eBay before, and I find it most unusual.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 How odd, do you think they are involved in some sort of dispute or scam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I had a similar thing happen a few years ago when I bought a personalised Liverpool shirt. The seller was reported as selling fake shirts by someone and eBay and Paypal did the same as they did with you. They suspended the seller's account too. They turned out to be authentic and eBay ended up reinstating them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 How odd! Have been to Tasha's today to cuddle chickens before going back to Uni and trim the sheep + goats hooves. All the yearlings were easy to herd into the hurdle pen we made but Jessie the older ewe was too clever and having none of it! She's too clever Am used to bigger sheep so they were wriggling round everywhere but we got them done ... both ended up with blue hands and faces from the spray after though! Spotted 2 cockerels I want to borrow in the Summer to come and service my pekin ladies too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Had a 2 wierd calls earlier, rang and then hung up. I rang back and no answer... 5 mins later they rang back - was R's brother, he's in New Zealand They want us to go back night Lambing again at the other (not Uni) farm from the end of Feb! Nice they want us back tbh and looks good on applications/CV to have lambed at 3 or 4 farms for 4 years Still need to see if they want us to do the Uni farm aswell, keep us busy for a couple months!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Off to meet my mother (and brother) for lunch in 10 minutes time. I feel sick . (Long story - I've barely seen her for 2 years despite living a mile apart.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Couldn't have been more superficial and pointless . You'd have thought we saw each other every week. Went back to hers for coffee but again nothing of any importance was discussed. Left with hardly a goodbye and no future plans. Oh well. At least I did the right thing making the first move (again). Perhaps I'll just send a round robin at Christmas (which is how I made contact this time) in case she's interested in knowing how her grandsons are doing (which she patently isn't).

The Dogmother Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Sorry to hear that Vicki As I get older I increasingly think that you can't choose who you're related to. I have just been down to Radnage to see Phil; his father is very ill with a nasty chest infection and as his mother is still recovering from a broke hip, P didn't dare leave them to come up here this weekend. His dad is now unsteady on his feet which is a shock as he's always been a healthy and strong chap being a farmer. Had a lovely walk through the beech woods with the dogs though, the sun was lovely but it was bitterly cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey Lucy Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Sorry about how things went today Vicki, I'd suggest just doing what makes you happy. DM, sorry to hear about Phil's parents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LolaLayla Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 ANH- Most importantly you have done what feels right for you. I am so sorry that it didn't work out better, it is hard to understand some peoples view on life. Sending you hugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowberry Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I went to my best friend's funeral today. It was so sad, she was 39 & died of a heart attack the service was beautiful & she's in the most beautiful spot in the world. Is it odd to get casket envy though? It was willow & I want one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 I'm glad you have nice memories of your friend's funeral even though it must have been very sad. A beautiful service is something for everyone to treasure. I am interested in willow caskets too or a tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowberry Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 This might sound callous or very odd? I never cried at my husband's death or any of my friends; but tonight I have cried non stop for Alison, I don't if I will ever stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
