I was reading all the way down these posts and it seems that Faye and Notso have already said what I was planning to say. It will surely be the last relevant one on the history list. Hope it turns up nanaej

I was waiting for a confirmation e mail from my online security and it was in my Spam file, as Notso suggested!

So tomorrow I'll be....Making DH's packed lunch for his fishing trip, putting out the rubbish, feeding chickens, walking dogs and wondering if nanaej's skip has turned up hmm

Good point notso - also, nanaej don't beat yourself up about it! You are not going doolally, you just have other things on your mind. Have a brew or a wine depending on the time of day and don't worry!!

Have you checked your Spam folder for the confirmation email?

Good idea, Faye the last one looked at will be the one nanaej ordered from. Whenever anyone said they had found something in the last place they looked, my father would reply "Of course - they didn't look anywhere else after that"

nanaej phone your bank they will confirm who took the payment, if the order has not gone through they won't have taken payment so you can reorder.

Can you look at your history nanaej as that would show you exactly what you looked at a particular time and day when you were searching. On Internet Explorer I found it under favourites and under Chrome it is under tools.

I will give it until after lunch for an email to arrive then re think! Thanks for your advice smile

Good thinking green - except that nanaej doesn't know which firm she ordered the skip from! confused

Don't feel daft - bet it's just because the confirmation email just hasn't been sent out yet. When did you order the skip? If you haven't had confirmation by tomorrow morning, why not order another, and if the original one IS delivered, tell them that you thought it hadn't gone through as there was no confirmation. In that case it would be the company's fault for not confirming, anyway.

I have tried that merlot but I looked at so many and the websites are all v similar!! I have wasted over an hour revisiting skip websites!! hmm

green I did the order via their website so not listed on emails and was paying cash on delivery so at least money OK!!.

Am worried the order did not go through as I have not had a promised confirmation so then there will be no skip on Wednesday when needed!!
I feel such an idiot! Am normally better organised.

Just type skip hire into your search engine, nanaej. Most recently visited websites should be displayed on the left. Visited websites are normally coloured purple rather than blue so you might be able to pick it out.

greenmossgiel Mon 09-Jul-12 21:15:07

Hopefully, it'll just arrive, nanaej? Can you not find it by going back through your sent emails/card payments?

Anagram Mon 09-Jul-12 21:12:43

Well, when it turns up you'll be able to check! Don't worry - why do you need to know now anyway? It's ordered, that's the main thing. smile

I ordered a skip online to help my SiL out who is coming to put new patio down for us this week. Supposed to be arriving on Wednesday. Have not had confirmation email and cannot remember name of firm! Wrote down 3 that I contacted but were too expensive. I was obviously so excited to be quoted a better price I did not write their name and number down...just went on their website and booked it! All efforts to track back have drawn a blank! I am so stupid. confused
