If it was you...

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

If you are the fellow equestrian that got those Thermatex Leg Wraps on Ebay just now for £16.07, when I had bid up to £16 (and got a work call in the last 20 seconds or I would have gone higher) then.... I hope both sides of your pillow are warm.. and there is glitter all round your house and you can't find where it's coming from... and you randomly lose 2 tupperware lids.

 

[J&S]

Oh pooh!

I'm furious, I was basically cheated out of the lovely leg wraps by less than a Freddo chocolate costs!
The way I see it, my boss owes me some Thermatex leg wraps for calling at the wrong time..

I think they do. I hope your promotion came with a bloody good pay rise.

By the way, it wasn't me. My little horse 'Blue Dragon' is made from carbon fibre and doesn't need that sort of pampering. However, having had a saddle fit today, I might as well own the furred variety. I am sure Jams didn't cost nearly as much to get going with when I bought her.

Seriously need an employment grievance for that!

Maybe your comment is a sign that really I should be putting money away for the 18 saddles I will probably need need in the next 5 years as Dex starts work, instead of trying to prepare for winter!

It would be the tip if the iceberg, but among the most upsetting things I put on the grievance form I reckon

 

[cobgoblin]

Even worse are those autobid services that outbid by 1p at the last millisecond.

 

[Tiddlypom]

It wasn't me, I've had those thermatex leg wraps in my rug room for years, honest.

Had you lost out by 3p, not 7p, it could have been me, she says, divulging her ebay bidding tactics .

Right TP, I reckon it was you and you're throwing me off the scent.

It's clearly a sign as I also went to pick up my Vinted parcel this morning and the bloody pick up shop was on fire... anyone got any idea what I do about that one?

 

[littleshetland]

As Spike Milligan used to say ‘may your swonicles revolve…’
I’m not sure what it means either, but sounds nasty…

 

[Snow Falcon]

I learnt from bitter experience not to bid in round numbers too.

 

[Trouper]

Karma will get them.

 

[Barton Bounty]

If i was you… id put a lotto ticket on

 

[poiuytrewq]

Oh NO!! That’s the worst. Been there done that so many times and it’s gutting!!

 

[poiuytrewq]

Same! I always go £7.89 or something

 

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

Same! I always go £7.89 or something

The thought process was £15 + £1

Oh well, I’ll keep an eye out for more. Probably not a bad thing as I’ve just spent £55 on a poultice boot and more thrush stuff and field paste due to slightly puffy legs tonight. So much for an unbacked one being cheap!

How thoroughly do they review expense claims…

Can't help with burning shops, but I have an old set of thermatex wraps if you'd like them?

That would be lovely, thank you. I will send you a PM

 

[Annagain]

Schoolgirl error.

I'd have let the phone ring out and claimed a toilet emergency when I phoned the boss back safe in the knowledge the wraps were mine.
