xoverau's Just To Surrender again this morning. I love that story so much, it hurts to read but in such a good way. Angst, the perfect way to start the day, especially when you day starts with a parcel from E-Bay too :)
Talking about E-Bay I need advice, or at least Kay does. She's been selling her mobile on there and it was bought on a buy it now by this guy in Nigeria. She mailed him saying she only posted to the UK ( which she states on the listing ) so couldn't send him it, then relisted the phone. The next day he bought it on buy it now again and e mailed saying he would pay either by sending money or Bidpay. She mailed him again repeating that she only posted to the UK then relisted. Next day he'd used buy it now again but this time said he'd paid the money to paypal. The thing is it included a mail from a place that said the money would only be paid into her paypal account if she entered the shipping number to prove she'd sent the phone. The whole thing is screaming fraud to me, especially as the guy isn't a member of e-bay anymore. So really I'm asking if anyone has done that with paypal, having to use the shipping number thing. It could be a valid I suppose but right now I'm not convinced at all.
Finally. I was talking totrumpeterofdoom yesterday and we got talking about meeting up again. We were going to do it earlier this year but real life got in the way and it never happened. Now I think there's tentative plans for a sparkly get together between Connotations and Christmas, and Connotations too of course which is Sept 30th to Oct 2nd but this would be separate to that, maybe, if we can make it work. So no plans yet, just stating that hopefully it'll happen this time. So if anyone is interested just yell.
I'm looking forward to Connotations this year and man, that's so different to last year when just the thought of going and meeting people had me paralysed with fear. Though it did teach me that it's possible to face up to your fears and just do it. Or to be truthful it's possible to face up to your fears when your other half has his hand wedged in your back pushing you into the room saying 'I've paid for it now, you're not going home. So yes, Connotations, it's in my home area again so you can come up and see the Geordies and Mackems. The hotel is right next to the sea and there'll be a load of cool sparkly people there, and me too.
Okay, pimp session over, I'll go now :)
