My order, placed on 13 May, arrived today. Three of the four UXB tokens had damage to the circular ring around the tail fins; the bits were in the bag, so I assume they had broken in transit, but IMO they were fixable and I said so, but told him about it as it was a product weakness I thought he should know about. Near-instant response: a thank you for informing him, four new markers on their way, and he's going to look at strengthening that part of the model. Now that's service!

Woke up this morning to find that my Paypal account was in credit. Obviously I have taken steps to address this issue.
Last week I looked at a zombie game on Ebay, looked, not watched, bid on or enquired about, just looked at. Yesterday I received an email telling me that the seller had reduced it from £20 to £18. I took another look and then decided to see what else the seller had. It turns out that he still had the same game at £20 or another copy on a buy it now of £16.20. Postage on all of them was £3.10 so I bought the cheapest.
I know when to go out
I know when to stay in

Just commissioned him to make me some wattle fencing. Figured I could buy from Renedra, but this way it gives him incentive to make some (and he’ll sell plenty) and I’d rather give him money than Renedra (not that I don’t like Renedra), I’d rather just support a small business like his

Is this the first line of the "Ah ain't got no debt" blues?
