Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I don't like the T shirt, either. It's not a very clever fraud, is it, if you've got the delivery address? Has it been reported to the police?

£110 for that T-shirt? There's an even bigger fraud there!

[Just as long as you didn't phone the number or clicked the link on the payment notification email :-o . Always source contact numbers independently from any notification emails ;-) ]

That’s exactly what I did, Dec

There were no contact numbers or click through in the email anyway but I logged into my account separately and could see the pending transactions.

Then I found a contact number on the PayPal website.

Then I Googled the contact number for PayPal to make sure they corresponded.

Then I called them, went through the world’s most frustrating phone system, spoke to three different people, and spent 20-30 minutes on the phone.

You'd think they'd have a more efficient system than that. It must be a not-unheard-of occurrence.

I've had an email to say that a teaching resource I uploaded to TES resources years ago has received a 5* review and a nice comment. I'd forgotten all about the stuff I put on there so went onto the site to have a look. Turns out my resources (none of them terribly exciting or clever, especially when I compare them to current stuff being offered on the site) are still being downloaded regularly and get good ratings. I'm glad about that, as I was always very grateful to the teachers who put *their* resources on that site to share for free. :-)

I met Liebling.
I have never met Liebling before.

I was running on the South Bank and she was coming towards me. I ran past her, thought, "She looks like Liebling" then decided to turn round and just ask if she was who I thought she was.
Turns out she was :-)

She's lovely :-)

A very far from mundane coincidence
