Rants for the day

Rant 1

Trade Me people

Some people i cant believe at all, want something for NOTHING.

Well i have auctions running on Trade me like alot of people do, one person has brought so many auctions from me that all equal up to $20 which is fine.  I have a excersaucer listed aswell for $150 i thought this was a reasonable price considering the condition that its in etc.  Well she emailed me asking if i would drop it to $75 i said no i wouldnt go lower than $100, so next thing i get an email saying would you take $100 for the excersaucer plus the items i have already got. WTF that makes the excersaucer $80.  

AND

She also asked me to drop it all off thats a 20min drive on a good day and longer on a bad day.

I did email her saying that i MIGHT be going out that way on Sunday but im not 100% sure next thing the email was pretty much her excepting i was going out there and can i drop excersaucer and clothes off.  Hold on i didnt agree on the price of $100 all up.  So another email to her to say sorry we arent going out that way and i wont let the excersaucer go less than $100.  Well i think she got the point she has someone coming over on Sunday to collect the clothes she brought but they want to pick up at 1.30pm sorry i wont actually be home at that time, so i will happily leave in a plastic bag on the doorstep for them.

So that was gripe ONE

Rant 2

Courier post

Courier people i think need to learn to read or stop changing drivers as often as i change my underwear to be honest its getting really annoying and pissing me off.

I have signed a form for the drivers to leave ANY parcel on my doorstep so i dont have to drive out to albany to pick up my parcel or wait till the next day as i dont like waiting.  Well today i was next door having lunch and we saw a courier post van drive pass and thought o yay they have dropped off another parcel exciting stuff this was at 12.45 at 1 i got home to find a stupid card to call.

Ok so i called and got shitty once again, i have signed that darn thing 3 times yes 3 to say LEAVE MY FLIPPEN PARCELS.  I told them i wanted my parcel today.

Well the lady on the phone apologized and said they have changed the driver YET again.  Im sorry but this still isnt good enough, at 5pm i finally got my parcel that i was waiting for, so ripped into it of course it was my creative memories items, pens for 2 friends and a few pieced for myself, well to make something for Damians grandmothers 80th birthday this year.

Gripe 2 over

Rant 3

Snapfish

Yes i love using snapfish as i love how it comes to my door without me having to drag the kids out and about.  Saves me time instead.

WELL when i ring them asking if they do 8*8 prints and i get told yes just use the 20 * 25cm option i except the photo to come out like 8*8 not missing the sides of important things, I was fuming not impress at all.

I had to break the bad news to a friend which i made them for and well even though it seems ok its STILL NOT.

So i rang Snapfish once again to talk to them and explain that im not happy being told one thing and getting something that i didnt actually order, lucky the person on the phone tried talking me though to get a 8*8 printed turns out there is NO WAY you can do that on snapfish.

So i rang Harvey Norman and they have told me to bring in the photos and they will see what they can do, i might have to go 8*10 and not crop and they just trim the access white bits off which works for me:)  Harvey Norman also do a VIP thing which is now only $10 for a lifetime so im happy with that as it use to be $10 yearly.  So i will go down tomorrow and sign up and get my free prints so they these prints are ready for next Tuesday for my friend.

(these prints will be posted on blog after Tuesday, i have had permission)

Gripe 3 over.

Rant 4

Fuses

WELL the other weekend the fuse for the windows in the car blew well thats fine, car was going back to panelbeater to have the wheel bearings fixed so the fuse wasnt needed right then and there.  Yesterday i got the car back and we went and brought the right fuses for the car and put one in, YAY windows.

Today i took the car just round the block to drop a few things off to 3 different houses (too lazy to walk today) and i get home and the window wont go back up, well i get into it all and pull out the fuse and what you know the thing has blowen after 1 day, yes 1 day. 

NOT HAPPY

So i have replaced the fuse once again lucky i brought a pack of 5 of the fuses.

I tell ya if it blows again i really really will not be happy, and i will be asking what the hell is wrong.  I dont like spending money just for it to blow up right away.

Rant 4 over.

Rant 5

Myself

OMG im having a blonde, forgetful, stupidness week/month already.

As i can say is it better get better i tell you.

Well it all started off with me picking up my desk which i turned a 15min trip into an HOUR drive i got lost 4 times, then my phone died and i finally found the place, then what you know on the way home i got on the WRONG motorway so got off at neilson and did the long way round and found the RIGHT motorway and headed home. (i hate going places i dont really know where im going) 

Then i packed up all the Trade me / Sella items that had sold thinking i was all clever and everything and finally got it all sorted ready for it all to go out and off i went to the post office to send it all.  YAY something right? (you will find out)

THEN

Then that afternoon Damian came home early cause he had an appointment so off we went i parked in a car spot but decided i needed to move and get the car RIGHT in the park, so i backed up a bit looking behind me there was a tree though if i tap that tree its ok as a small tree wont hurt me, well it turns out there was a stupid white fence behind the flippen tree, grrrrrrrr.  Lucky no damage to the car.

THATS NOT ALL

NOPE i went and done something equal to that this afternoon.

Damian parked his car behind my car and yup i needed to go out, so i jumped in the car to move it around Damians, i put it in D for DRIVE and it went back so i must of put it in R for REVERSE stupid stupid me, im glad i didnt put my foot down hard but was enough to break the indicater light on Damians car, lucky its a old car so the part will be easy to source.  I couldnt believe it, i did it again, i think Damian wants to take my license off me.  Not alot of damage to the cars so its not really going to matter at the moment.

THEN (yup the parcels i sent)
I got home and did some things i need to do and well i got a phone call from a guy asking what address this parcel was meant to go to, he gave me the name on the parcel etc and he was number 32 and the parcel needed to be at number 23, ahhhh i put the wrong number on the parcel thanks to that guy he is dropping the parcel to the right house tonight.  Then i got an email from the person that brought off sella saying that she was missing half the auction i was omg no i havent had i.

YUP sure enough i had, instead of 4 bottles i put 2 in instead of 4 tommee tippee cups i put one i, How on earth did i do that.  Yup i know.


You see on Trade me i had listed them all on there on auctions and on sella i just put them all together cause it was cheaper to do that on sella than it was on Trade me.  Im lucky i explained to her what i had done and she is ok with it, i will send the rest of the items to her tomorrow fast post:).

So not only did i send one to the wrong address and another without items WHAT else did i do.  So far so good, that noone has got shitty with me.

I think i either need a long soak or sleep, but im not feeling tired at all.  So maybe a long soak and then i can start fresh again OR give me another month and i might come right.  I better be right before the end of year thats for sure.
