hi guys only me, just want to make you aware i received a email at 6am yesterday morning from paypal saying that i had made a purchase of £28 via ebay(i never buy from ebay) it asked you to click a tab where you can cancel this if it is not you, however you need to supply them with login details etc.

I have had to send the email to paypal fraud team to look into.

Please do not click into anything on the email page and do not supply any details but paypal says if you have a paypal account check your account history via internet only. Also paypal do not greet you by using your email address it is by your name only.

Please be aware of this as hackers will take everything in your bank.😊

Anyone getting these emails just forward to spoof@paypal.com they will investigate. I get them all the time. It’s a nightmare

Thanks kazbi, yes i forgot to add email address!! Its a real pain in the neck to think that with one click you could have everything gone.x

Thanks for the tip - had a bit of trouble as went on e bay to buy a battery but it was defunct.

I am not a paypal member and always use a credit card for online transactions, - but the banks help lines are understaffed due to cuts - I spent about 20 minutes on an 031 number but when I was put on to a team to talk to as they could not decipher my details - the line went on ringing so think they are getting a lot of money from phone calls. I also had trouble with an e bay transaction with a firm called vidaxle.co.uk who was part of fruugo they said I needed to pay when I had given my details which were embedded in their data base to fruugo. I was presented with a double bill - with threats.

It appears an error had occurred whilst making a transaction - but as I do not have a paypal account - I hope the fraud squad won't have to be contacted. Hope you are ok.

Kids had to come home as the calor gas for school could not be delivered as the van was too big. Kids are hoping for annual Christmas lunch tomorrow - hope the calor gas can be delivered to the school.

Oh no i hope the kids get their dinner!! My kizzie is back at school tomorrow so she is grumpy chops tonight looking rather moody. Will miss her tomorrow 😕

I hope you manage to sort out your double bill but dont pay anymore, im sure it will be fine.

Im ok but i think im on a hyper swing at moment with the hashis-i really do hate that but are getting used to them more. Endo did not ring today so im giving them to thurs and i will ring as i know this dose of 5mgs is wrong for me being im looking more hypo now.x

Think it's ok - it's correspondence which is not clear - with one way messages with no reply facility which get on my wick! If I don't get my delivery I will have to contact the company to see what's going on - but with bad weather - not surprised if deliveries are not on time.

With hyper swing are you getting hot flushes? Are you going to cut the dose again by a quarter of a tablet a week? Hope you can find out about the dose soon - some endos rely on test results rather than symptoms - that is no good for you if you are feeling rubbish.

You have had a long journey with test results missing with errors and cancelled appointments - but you are not the only one with the same problems! I think Michell Cory's book will have some helpful suggestions - Isabella Wentz info on carbs and diabetes with hashis was a revelation to me. The answer seems to be with t3 which makes all the difference to some patients. Metabolism and feel good factor improve - you might get benefit from reversal with advice re enzymes which in some people are not working and proteins which are again from some autoimmune response. It's finding the trigger points with hashis - and these can be different to just gluten free . By the way I get this Daily Alert with regular updates on my prostate tee hee - with other really interesting info - with colds and flu you should take food with flavonoids in blue berries raspberries which somehow makes you more resistant to flu - so you get it mildly rather than badly affecting the lungs.

You should also have natural yoghurts for the gut to help promote healthy flora and bacteria in the intestines. Well worth getting daily alert - free,

Oh G i cant stand yoghurts the thought of them makes me heave, ive never liked them😲

The hot flushes when sleeping have gone but do feel hot with a hyper swing and have to cool down and thyroid area feels like its hot and palpy. I havent cut down on carbi yet to 2.5mgs x1 a day but i think i should now that my bloods are hyper but was waiting to see what endo suggests. I could try that tomorrow even 2.5 mg in the morning and then a small quarter in evening so im getting 3mgs in a day. X
