    Afternoon everyone,

    It's a shame about bingoport, I think I'll struggle to make £5 a week too. I hope you manage to sort out the ebay problem Yukki.

    I'm getting there slowly with the business stuff, I wish it was faster though as I could really do with the money. I'm waiting for my supplies to arrive now (they come from China & the US). I have been trying to sort out new banners and the website design, but I need to make decent banners which means downloading a trial of photoshop which my computer doesn't seem to want to let me do :(. I'm also having problems with how slow my computer gets after it has been on a while because for this I need to have it on a lot. The computer I want is down to £720 now but I can't justify spending all that money, I'm in a bit of a catch 22. I could get a lower spec computer, but I really want that one and if I'm going to spend even £400 I keep thinking I may as well get the one I want :(. On the plus side my boxes arrived the other day, and the jiffy bags I bought for them are a perfect fit.
    Finally bought a home

    Nicki if you need your pc for the business can you not buy it and then claim part on expenses?

    Thanks for the suggestion Yukki, but I'd need to be VAT registered to get that part of it back. You only need to register if you've got a turnover which exceeds £67,000 which I know I won't have, so I'd rather keep it simple and not register so I can do my accounting, plus I buy most of my supplies from abroad so I wouldn't be able to claim any tax back from them.
