@qr_io you are holding me to ransom! I wanted a static code for a community board so chose you. FAQ's say static continues after free trial but you say its dynamic and have deactivated it unless I pay and are ignoring my messages. #badservice #con #choosecanvaifyouwantfree

@emmanuelarnaud you say @HomeExchangecom is there when things go wrong. Why have I had to wait over 2 weeks for ANY response from your team? Why are they not adhering to your guarantee? I submitted agreed invoices 10 days ago but have received nothing. How can you fix this?

[Ruth Chapman @RuthChappers]

@HomeExchangecom is your guarantee just false advertising? Compensation was offered following cancellation so I booked a hotel in good faith. Now you are ignoring every message I have sent you and have not paid within the guarantee timeframe. #homeexchange

[Ruth Chapman @RuthChappers]

@HomeExchangecom am stressed about lack of response following cancelled exchange. I was told to submit invoices as per guarantee but haven't had any reply for a WEEK to confirm receipt / processing - despite detailing how upsetting the lack of comms has been.

[Ruth Chapman @RuthChappers]

@HomeExchangecom how are we supposed to resolve a last minute cancellation when you don't respond to emails? We are en route and have nowhere to stay and no idea how we access the compensation.

@FrannGriffin I've only just seen this - sorry! Probably too late now.

We've been getting some fantastic coverage for our quirky carbon-neutral eco cabin - The Vacationist. From an unwanted hay bale trailer to a luxury cabin that catches the eye of interior design specialists in just six months. Not bad! #glamping #glampingspecialist #ecocabin

@FrannGriffin It was 5 years ago but I got married on a mountain. Marriage rules are different in Scotland to England, so we took a humanist on a hike with us up Stac Pollaidh - she married us half way up, we toasted with whisky and then those who wanted to carry on to the top continued!

@janeeknight I am a writer who runs two luxury, off-grid glamping units (converted American bus and an eco cabin - launched last year - on a retired hay bale trailer). We have partnerships with locals to include extras - a gin experience at a distillery and a cider workshop at a local farm.

[Ruth Chapman @RuthChappers]

What happens when you find out the bus you had driven Florida kids to school in, is now parked up in Sussex offering luxury glamping breaks? Check out the 'reveal' video and story on our blog https://t.co/1Raf798KDA. @bbcsoutheast @brightonargus great feel good story.

[School District of Manatee County @Manateeschools]

The results were fantastic! @Manateeschools employees couldn't believe their eyes. Their former school bus is now creating new memories.

Lots of smiles, laughs: "23 years and I remember this bus," said Mike Vickers. "I have worked on this bus... oh my gosh, that is beautiful!"

[Ruth Chapman @RuthChappers]

@Manateeschools we are a British family who bought one of your retired school buses and shipped it to the UK. We thought it would be fun to connect!

[Ruth Chapman @RuthChappers]

@vaxsupport why don't you respond to emails or chat? I keep leaving my details and nobody gets back to me. You've had my machine for 2 weeks and I've had no update on the repair.

[Ruth Chapman @RuthChappers]

Work is well underway with our Skoolie conversion. I’ve added several new strings to my bow...angle-grinding being the favourite! #glamping #skoolie #busconversion #ukskoolie

[Ruth Chapman @RuthChappers]

Three months ago we returned from our epic year-long road trip around America in a converted bus.

Now we are bringing some of the bus-magic back to Sussex. I'm on the hunt for a little patch of land, helpers and ideas on partnering to turn our UK bus into something super-cool!

[Ruth Chapman @RuthChappers]

@ClaudiaCanavan @UKWomensHealth @NikkiGatenby do you have a story?

@theadegallier I'm 40+ and have just bought a 38ft American school bus. My husband and I are renting out our UK house, taking our 2 kids out of school and travelling North America for a year. I blog https://t.co/x0OUvyzDWW

[Ruth Chapman @RuthChappers]

It's official - we now own an 37ft American school bus. Time to jack it all in and hit the road. #familygapyear #freelancelife https://t.co/NzVn5N1Koe

Great initiative - we’ll be there @TechTakeback #recycle #reducelandfill
