UK Hello all, just wanted to say hi!

[jaejae]

I would like to extend once Im confident with making the cage. Also money is a factor as they were quite expensive to buy.

How old are you, obviously you are still living at home. Having my own place Im quite lucky. My boyfriend is very supportive of my love for piggies, I dont have any other hobbies and I cant stand shopping for shoes and clothes (mad I know!!!). Hes quite happy for me to spend money careing for my piggies x

So you use ebay, Im always abit nervous about buying things off of the internet. Still quite new to it all really!!!!

 

[jaejae]

That would make you only 18... still a baby!!! hehe... just kidding! x

Signs express in cambridge. I will have to pick it up but they said they would do an 8x4 for £10.. or it may have been £15. look for them on yell.com

Be careful with ebay, I tried buying things of there and nothing came! I'm still waiting for a cuddle cup for the pigs.

It's not raining here, but it soooo cold. The electricity has gone so no heating! Clothes shopping can be quite fun to an extent, but when you can't find anything to buy it's so irratating!

 

[Myspoiltpiggies]

I have never bought anything from ebay and I'm not sure I ever want to... my mum's friend bought a mobile phone on there for her daughter and it never came.

 

[Myspoiltpiggies]

It all depends on who you are buying from though.. you can never be sure! I would hate to pay for something and then never recieve it.

Glitterbug, you just got back from a week's banning. I highly suggest you start posting properly using capitalization and punctuation and remember you are still NOT allowed to sell anything on this forum. If you don't obey the posting rules this time, you may end up permanently banned.

Also, take the ebay pitch out of your profile. It will get you banned if you don't.

 

[Piglet]

Ly, that's a little unfair - she didn't even mention cubes. We were all talking about ebay. I never knew ebay could "take action". The cuddle cup was only worth £2, but still, it should have been deliverred to my house. Lucky I didn't get my mobile phone from there!

 

[jaejae]

Im sorry but its taking the mickey having a go at someone for not using proper capitalization and punctuation. Does anyone actually care if something doesnt have a full stop at the end or a capital letter!!! Honestly it is just silly! x

 

[Piglet]

Actually, if you had bothered to read the rules, then it's not so silly

We have members from all over the world here - estonia, germany, finland etc So, we need to make sure our posts are legible so that everyone can read them. It is common courtesy too.

 

[jaejae]

I have read the rules but please remember some peple find it difficult with there spelling and punctuation. My boyfriend went to university and did very well for himself but still struggles with spelling. And if people from across the world can read english Im sure they can read it even if it doesnt have a capital letter at the front! Im sorry but its very rude when people cant spell for them to be critacised! Fair enough no 'chat talk' but spelling mistakes are a fact of life, unless you have a degree in english!!!!

I think ebay is great. I have bought/sold around 50 items and only had one problem with a non-payer and of course, I hadn't sent the item so it didn't really matter, anyway! I've made some money out of stuff that would have been sitting in my house as junk or been given to a charity shop. Ebay are rather rubbish at intervening, it's really paypal that provides the protection if you pay with them.

Spelling and capitalization does matter. It's a real pain to read even for someone like me who's a native English speaker! There's nothing worse to read than one big run-on sentence, no paragraphs and no punctuation. I can't imagine if someone typed like that in Dutch or German (languages I speak quite a bit of, but don't speak natively), I'd be lost!

Edit: I don't have a degree in English, but I'd like to think my spelling is pretty good. If you REALLY struggle, there's always a spell checker in MS Word et al.
