An awful night's sleep last night has left me washed out this morning. The broken sleep was attributable directly to rodent related activity at the far end of the room. Odd isn't it, that when you see a mouse on the Tube or in the street, it doesn't bother you in the slightest. Get one of the omnivorous little shit machines in your house and it's a different matter.

Hopefully tonight will be a little easier in the kip department.

And just to add to the bleary-eyed fun of Tuesday morning, I seem to be in snot monster mode again. It is only a little over a week since the last bout, but at least this seems to be a cold only rather than the ague like last time. It is still rather annoying, though.

E-Bay

I find myself a bit edgy about a purchase I made on ebay two and a half weeks back.

The auction went through OK, and I duly arranged payment through PayPal, but since then it has gone awfully quiet. And now I notice that the seller, despite having a good feedback record, is no longer registered with ebay.

Now since the seller is in the US, I am not too concerned that I haven't received anything just yet - postage times etc are notoriously variable across the pond, but…

Anyway, I have emailed ebay for advice, and the seller for postage information. As I say, I don't quite have a sinking feeling about this yet, but I can see the leaks developing.

Has anyone else had similar problems, and if so, how did you go about resolving it?
