I had a landscaper booked in. I paid £1,200 deposit for materials etc. the day before the work was due to commence he cancelled, and postponed by a week. a week later he postponed again by 4 days, then finally the morning off (today) he cancelled the job in full.

this is the message I received:

Hi I think the best I can do is offer a full refund. I was in a&e yesterday and got out late last night, trying to rush finishing this job and put the angle grinder sanding blade, kicked and deep in my leg above my knee, 10 stitches and off for a week do think it's best I just refund you.. I have no idea what we are doing, I'm the only one in household that earns but it's only fair you get your money back now, atleast you won't lose anything. Have to wait for refunds but all back by Wednesday latest. 

something about it just doesnt sit right with me?

he had apparently booked a skip to come today, when I asked if I should send the skip away he said he cancelled it last night? So he cancelled the skip last night but didn’t let me know he wasn’t coming?

i just have a vibe that he’s going to ghost me and i won’t see the money again. If that happens what can I do?

I have had a product listed on Etsy for over a year. it says on it ‘good girls read romance’.

good girls read was trademarked 5 days ago and they have filed a takedown against my Etsy shop?

it appears they are doing a mass takedown. the sell books, I sell e Reader accessories.
