But do you really want 4 pairs of trousers farmerbarleymow? Why not return 2 and get your money back?

 

[izz]

Oooooor, return one package and swap for something else

Actually I'd return one package with a note saying they double delivered but that's because I'm scared of karmic retribution

 

[kebabking]

farmerbarleymow I'd be a little cautious while also being a gouging git..

As far as I'm concerned if they send you four pairs of jeans when you only asked - and paid for - 2, then that's their problem and not something you should be concerned with. My initial thought would be to send two back for a refund and effectively get your original two pairs for free, however, if you ask for a refund they will look at the order trail and may notice that they sent you double. At the best you'll get fuck all, and at worst they might try and do you for theft or fraud...

So, don't contact them, just flog the two spare pairs on fleabay. You'll get less than you'd get in refunds, but theres no risk.

I'm 34" waist, 32"/34" inside leg farmerbarleymow, do I win a pair?

 

[kebabking]

A Montane Flux - pertex and primaloft belay jacket... bright blue, fixed hood, two chest pockets, two waist hand warmer pockets.

I'm not entirely sure I need this, but I'm sat on a cold training area in Germany after most people have gone home - and I have internet access...

I contacted the company and told them yesterday, as legally they aren't my property, so I wait and see. It's not as if it is worth only a couple of quid...

From what I can glean online, if this error occurs, I have an obligation to try and return them (done - no problem), but it shouldn't inconvenience me. That is, they should arrange to collect/whatever the goods they erroneously delivered. Basically, the items belong to them, and if they want them back they have to make the arrangements that don't cause me any bother.

I have a Prism. Most versatile jacket I've ever owned, I've worn the shit out of it for 18 months and it still looks new.

yeah, i looked at the Prism but i wanted something a bit more slanted towards the standing around thing than the wearing it on the go thing - i wear a Buffalo S6 most of the time - but also wanted something smaller and lighter than the Sasquatch.

the Sasquatch is wonderfully warm and amazingly weather resistant, but it packs down to about 8 litres or so and just takes up too much room for a day trip.

I don't do too much standing around in the cold outdoors, I'm either walking or running. So the prism is brilliant as a mid layer or a windproof post run as it's small and warm. I wear it to work, indoor climbing, walking in the winter, a pub jacket, it fits in my trail running pack, the list is endless. I have a massive down jacket which packs down to a couple of litres but I only ever use that in emergencies. I have to be seriously cold to even think about it. I think the flux would be too warm for my needs but it does look good. I love buying outdoor gear. I've got my eye on a really really thin running waterproof next.

i had a Montane Litespeed many years ago - i was very impressed with how it coped with crap weather. i've moved to the Paramo Feura smock as my windproof of choice, its certainly more weatherproof than the pertex jobs, but its warmer as well, which may not suit you for running.

It's difficult really because you generate so much heat running that you get condensation inside regardless of how breathable the fabric is. I have a single layer windproof arcteryx job that just traps humid air in it

Ooh, and that would have been cheap...

Actually it was! Fucking expensive at rrp but I bought it in the sale. My second most used jacket and it takes nikwax pretty well even though it's not technically waterproof.

Cool - done a similar thing with the Paramo, its not waterproof, but it's pretty water resistant. Lob it over a buffalo and it's effectively waterproof, well, unless you're the kind of half-wit who just stands around in the pissing rain for hours on end...

The Feura has really turned me off waterproof shells, I've never been a great fan because I sweat like a pig in a bacon butty, but compared to the comfort of the Paramo a gore-tex is just a plastic bag with sleeves.

I've had my eye on this dress for ages, but rational thoughts such as when am I ever going to wear it kept appearing in my mind, plus boyfriend who was always behind me being impatient while i was pondering the purchase. So on Saturday I found myself in the shop by myself and made a snap decision.

I love it! But there's a little silvery trail of shiny bits all along the floor where I've been walking :-p

That's lovely! Especially with your fab legs.
I decorated an entire Swedish hotel with green glitter last NYE - it wouldn't stay stuck on my frock.

 

[RubyToogood]

I left a trail of silver flakes everywhere on NYE last year. It's made me hesitant about wearing that frock to friends' houses now...

I have no scruples about glittering up my mum's place on the 25th. It's what she deserves.

 

[Plumdaff]

AuntiStella I've got that too and after a few Christmas dos I've convinced my daughter Santa's elves have been in the car.

I think aqua was finding glitter from my NYE dress all over her house for weeks

Was in Boots buying that bloody expensive No 7 youthful eye serum (because it is fucking brilliant stuff) and saw this on offer, so got it and tried it for the first time last night. Felt lovely actually - thought it might be really greasy but no.

Sanctuary Spa Overnight Miracle Oil 30ml - Boots

 

[catinthehat]

I did tell myself that I will order both shoe and boot, then decide, then return one pair. But was overcome with consumer fetishism and kept both. Dress as compensation for resisting the coat in the same style but with different painting on back.

Nice frock, catinthehat - where from?

Ah, thanks. Looks German. In a good way

This counts as an item of clothing, given how much I love being in bed...

Bought a new duvet today - 85% white duck down, 15% white duck feather super kingsize 13.5 tog, £165 from Marks. It's really thin and light.
