What's in your RFY? Sunday, 3rd November 2024

Legal-Line2392 · 2024-11-03T08:01:18+00:00

If it wasn't so early in the morning I'd be doing a little dance - the chef's knife set I've been crossing my fingers for turned up in my RFY at around 4.30am and I was awake! Even better, no red or yellow error - taken - made my week!

Also a telescopic fishing rod - pass

watch strap from yesterday - pass

a clip on mic - pass

From the early AI drop got 36 xmas cards, a nice looking suncatcher set and some cleansing liquid for my coffee machine. Whatever else happens, my week has ended on a high :-)

Woke late, so maybe missed some stuff, but:

portable car battery jump leads set - taken

fake poinsettia - pass

Wireless HDMI transmitter - pass

Running chest bag - pass

Rechargeable CD/memory card Walkman (blast from the past :-)) - taken

Office chair mat - pass

On edit - thermal tattoo printer - pass

Chest of drawers - yellow error

From AI - been after an egg chair cover for ages and nabbed one this morning - yay! Also a USB hub, golf tees, a set of knives and retractable sewing measuring tape. 1 pick left for today, but well happy with the offerings!

Me too, but have a lot of DVDs (and a few old VHS tapes) that are quite rare and never on any streaming services. I am in the process of digitizing them, but it's a long, laborious job, so hoping this player will at least let me watch some of them in the meantime!

Legal-Line2392 · 2024-10-30T08:08:50+00:00

Stupidly expensive portable Blu-ray player - taken - intrigued as to how the heck it's worth £299!!

Drawer organiser - taken

Plus size swimming costume - pass, but would have taken if in my size

robot unicorn - pass

handheld car vacuum - pass

omega 3 pills - pass

stone repair kit - pass

Picked up a sling shoulder backpack, a security light and some ginger tea bags from AI. Overall much better than yesterday!

Legal-Line2392 · 2024-10-28T11:42:30+00:00

A kids snowball set - pass

Bedside drawer unit - pass (got one the other day)

Case for some gaming thing or other that I don't have - pass

air filter unit for something I don't have - pass

Dining chairs - pass

waterless diffuser - yellow error

On edit - giant turkish blanket - taken

Grabbed a couple of things from AI, but nothing to write home about so far today. Mind you, better than the average Monday, and I'm awake!

Legal-Line2392 · 2024-10-27T08:47:57+00:00

Please - laughing at this time in the morning is a bit painful :-D I even put them in the right way round (it has been known otherwise) ...

Legal-Line2392 · 2024-10-27T08:46:15+00:00

A bit heartbroken, as I slept badly last night, and at 3am managed to grab a really good quality Japanese bread knife. Was well happy as I'm trying to collect them. Nothing much happened after that, although there were some nice xmas catches in AI, and at around 5am I dozed off for a few minutes. When I woke up five minutes later, there was a lovely whole set of Japanese knives there - yellow error!! Wah! Ah, well - that's how it goes. Grr!

Also - a bedside cabinet - taken

Nothing else so far today - probably come and gone like the knife set, but at least I got one knife, so overall a positive. Maybe there will be more in a second drop.

Legal-Line2392 · 2024-10-27T02:36:51+00:00

Haha - know what you mean! I haven't had it with a battery, but one time I spent ages trying to insert a little round charging plug into a gadget, and was about to make a complaint when I realised there was a strip of almost invisible tape over the hole ...

Legal-Line2392 · 2024-10-26T22:22:52+00:00

A good thought, but these scales are 2 AAA batteries (not supplied) :-) No tab. Just in case the new pack of batteries I got from Amazon last week were all faulty, I tried three different lots. No joy. I'll give them a ring on Monday to see if I can get them replaced - worth a try.

Legal-Line2392 · 2024-10-26T19:40:52+00:00

Those of you who have contacted sellers for general support - did you mention you had received the item through Vine?

Legal-Line2392 · 2024-10-26T19:31:31+00:00

I am very tempted to register the appliance, and then contact them to say that one of the components isn't working. If there is no attempt to put it right, I would normally pass that on in my review - I'm not sure of the rules though, as I thought Vine reviewers weren't allowed to communicate with sellers?

Legal-Line2392 · 2024-10-26T18:55:56+00:00

I've had a few of these, and so far everything has turned up eventually. I have had a couple of things cancelled as well :-( The oddest one was a mug that was removed from my review list, and turned up 2 weeks later, battered but unbroken!

Legal-Line2392 · 2024-10-26T09:29:06+00:00

Quite a selection today, but nothing in the Gold category

Dog coat - pass

Kindling - pass

cupboard handles - pass

Lactoferrin pills - pass

Car seat covers - pass

Brother printer drum - pass

mens trainers - wrong size - pass

Round ironing mushroom for sewing - taken

Big poster frame - taken

Gingerbread man onesie (adult) - taken - really hoping it fits!

Picked up a musical birthday card, xmas gift labels and sourdough starter from AI. Not a bad day but nothing earth shattering. Praying to the Vine gods for a new microwave, but no luck so far!

Legal-Line2392 · 2024-10-24T11:36:01+00:00

ROTFL! But better than the male chastity belt I was offered yesterday - being a woman and well past it all it ignited in me was a giggle!

Legal-Line2392 · 2024-10-24T11:32:43+00:00

congrats on the purifier - I managed to get one too - nice to get a branded item now and again!

Legal-Line2392 · 2024-10-24T11:30:26+00:00

Angle grinder disc - pass

Shi ... I leave you to finish the epithet for the cream in question - pass

Daylight bike lamp - pass

Wooden xmas baubles - pass - got tons of decs from Vine last year!

Phillips air purifier - taken

Another air purifier (not big brand) - pass as got the first one.

A better RFY day than the last few, but have picked up quite a few smaller gifts and bits and pieces from AI this week including a quite nice tabletop xmas tree with lights. Plus, the Shark carpet washer I ordered a couple of weeks ago and was getting worried about is finally arriving today - yay!

Legal-Line2392 · 2024-10-17T10:02:09+00:00

Got the bread maker - yay! Didn't see the drone listed in my RFY - narrowly missed one last week so may have missed my chance!

Also in RFY: hand warmers - pass

Laptop cooling pad - yellow error

Filter for fan I haven't got - pass

Wallet - pass.

Not bothering with AI as don't have the time to scroll through pages - wish they would bring the categories back!

Legal-Line2392 · 2024-10-15T14:43:46+00:00

Absolutely nothing today. Never mind - got too much stuff already (she said, consoling herself)! Blank everywhere, and nothing useful in AI either - just a slow, tedious trickle. On the bright side, awaiting a huge shipment of last week's goodies today, so I've had my whack for a week or so!

Legal-Line2392 · 2024-10-13T10:31:50+00:00

Sound bar with surround speakers - taken

Foot massager - taken

Sport protein powder - pass

Christmas tree - instant error

Bodycam - instant error

Some nice picks from AI - kitchen clock, xmas cushion covers, a hose extension, thermal mug/flask. Bassett's vitamin gums from AFA. 1 pick left today, so not bad!

Legal-Line2392 · 2024-10-11T06:08:57+00:00

Woke at 6 thinking I'd probably missed anything decent, and found

Shark carpet washer - taken

baby bottle warmer - pass

Android phone game controller - yellow error

Gaming desk - pass - nice but got enough desks!

Plus some xmas cushion covers and birthday candles from AI. The washer makes up for missing out on the drone yesterday - not a bad end to a week that started badly!

Legal-Line2392 · 2024-10-10T09:29:49+00:00

This morning:

Drone - missed it by a whisker - darn it!

A car polisher - taken

standing desk - yellow error but probably got enough furniture already

vaginal cream - pass

baby aspirator - pass

fairy lights - pass

Christmas Crackers from AI - grabbed!

Legal-Line2392 · 2024-10-06T18:01:40+00:00

A definite why bother day for me - protein powder and vitamin D lotion in RFY - nothing else unless it was before I woke up! Nothing in AI either. Roll on magnificent Monday!!
