035. Those IKEA Boxes.

I still don't have those boxes from eBay. This morning I received a package from the seller, it contained the right style and size boxes but in the wrong colour - I got black boxes. I ordered white.

I'm passed the 45 day limit to raise an official dispute with eBay but have contacted their customer service for advice. I have two items in my possession that I didn't want and didn't pay for. I now face having to pay to send both of those back, I've asked the seller to advise on this as well because it's not my error and I shouldn't have to pay.

I've requested that the seller dispatch the boxes I want on Monday to be delivered to me on Tuesday, which I think is reasonable given that I've been waiting 10 weeks!

UPDATE!

While I've been ranting blogging, the seller just messaged back with this:

Speechless...I will send the white one on Monday for you, please send the wrong one and I will reimburse for the P&P and refund the difference to your paypal account.

I could not be more relieved. If I was this seller I would be absolutely mortified by all these mistakes! At least I have the reassurance that they return fees will be covered.

So disappointed that I don't have them already, it just made me so angry when I got the black boxes that I wanted to cry! My parents are visiting tomorrow and I'm planning on cleaning and tidying the whole house tomorrow - having those boxes to finally organise my office would've been amazing. Never mind, there's always next weekend.

068. Visit Disneyland Paris

Look what was waiting for me when I got home from work today!

062. Save £100 a month (£300/£3300)

It's the beginning of the month, which means another £100 transferred into my savings.

This month is all about saving as much as we can and doing as little as possible, really. At the end of the month we go to Disneyland Paris, so we have to buy Euros and keep money aside for that trip. My evenings will be filled up with TV so I'm not tempted to buy things online, and our weekends will be filled with jobs around the house. No meals out and no takeaways!
