Seller who's sent the wrong wheel wants it back. Presumably he'll re-list both and hope they sell for more.
What about your money, does he want that as well?

They're paying the return postage, at which point I'll get a refund. eBay holds the amount for both buyer and seller until it's returned.

It's easily done; sell several wheels and label two incorrectly. I've done it, but usually arrange for each buyer to send to each other. My guess is that they expected both to sell for a higher price, so are taking the chance a refund and re-list will work for them.

I've to post a pair of wheels I sold over the weekend at some point today, so shouldn't be an inconvenience.
 
I've got shingles.
Just going out to pick up a prescription from the GP and take it to another pharmacy to be dispensed. When I phoned up to ask about organising delivery from the pharmacy associated with the GP, they (someone in the pharmacy) was EXTREMELY rude and told me it would take 48 hours to organise delivery, at a minimum. Staff in the GP practice were extremely indignant about this and will be 'dealing' with the matter, but in the meantime I need my meds so will let a more helpful pharmacy have my business not just now but in the future.

Oooooo...

I'll have to learn to weld.

On the other hand my colleague, who has even more creative ideas in a day than I do, arrived at work this morning on his home made reclining bike.

He made the frame out of pine, for goodness sake...

ETA the other pharmacy told me not to go and pick up my prescription (even though it has been removed from the spine and printed for my collection), but to stay at home and rest; they will arrange it all from their end and have the meds with me this afternoon. They've just called me back and will be bringing them to me in an hour or so. I also spoke to the medicines co-ordinator at my GP; he is disgusted at the behaviour of the staff member from the pharmacy associated with them, is enquiring into it further and also told me how the staff at the other pharmacy impressed him when they called - professional, competent, compassionate and lovely in every way was how he described them. I could only agree with him.

A big well done to the second pharmacy, and my best wishes to you for a quick recovery.
 
Mild, grey and blustery here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept like a log (waheyyyyyyy!) and then spent a good chunk of the morning rounding up all the crap that's accumulated for the tip in the last couple of years and shoved it all in the car. It's all been put in separate boxes - plastics, electricals, batteries, metal, bulky waste and four old bike tyres that I don't know which waste bin to put in yet. Disposal is on the agenda for after luncheon, as is that trip to Screwfix. And I also need to throw some fuel in the car.

Have put a jar of marmalade on top of my letterbox for the postie. Hope she enjoys it.

It is almost time for luncheon.
 
On the city farm I worked at you could hear the rats running under the floorboards in the main building. We had an official rat catcher on the team, and occasionally I would be called on to burn a rat in the workshop furnace.

Once some of the kids met the rat catcher carrying a deceased rat for his cremation. My colleague ended up having to dig a grave and officiate at a funeral.

Any deceased rodents (or parts thereof) are unceremoniously dumped into the green wheelie bin.
