    Can I ask for a non refundable deposit?

    Normally when I offer products for preorder I take payment in full and if the customer wants to cancel before it’s in stock I refund them, usually because the products are up to £60-£70 so it’s no great loss if I have to put another in to stock. I have a product coming in the will retail for...

    Child sickness

    They have been with us 2 years, the 2 days they are in are the time they are needed the most, I was thinking of changing their days with someone else, then if they are off it’s not as much of an issue, but I don’t know if I can do that and if I can it doesn’t mean they will want to change.
