    we contacted cyprus yesterday but the market is flat as pancake! our hope is that in the spring things look up.

    We are exactly the same age...which is why I first read your thread.....cos of the title.
    I think you are me. I am meant to be uploading my new website and, not having had time during the day, I am meant to be doing it 'in the evenings'. I just keep putting it off.

    OK you have kicked me up the a$$ too......tomo pm I will do it. I will not potter on MSE, google myself and faff about. If you finish yours I will finish mine.

    And Ebay......come on..I am staring at boxes of old stock and second hand items are selling for more than RRp on ebay..I mean.....how doh is that?...but have I sorted it all out, taken pics, listed and so on?...nope...as I am too busy with other stuff...but I could fit a bit it in if I really maxed out my day.

    And another reason to kick myself into gear...Egg look like 35% is cool....so what an incentive..another one could bite the dust.

    google myself... oooo i want to do that.... i hadnt thought of googling myself... but nothing would come up - would it!?!

    ok i have done 2 pages now. what i would really like is a pipe like an intravenous drip of coffee attached to me..

    tell you what, fc123 you do my website too and i will do your ebay listings!

    Sounds like a trade off to me but I am not great at webby stuff.

    I am not the techiest of people and do glaze over a bit when sat at a screen for more than an hour....except on MSE...why is it not the same?

    I like doing the pics though....crop, enhance and mucking about with them.

    Fighting procrastination is the hardest thing about working for oneself sometimes.

    Is that writing for google robots? I will stop pestering you now so you can get on :D..mind you..I need to go to bed. There is a poster on the other board who loves doing that.....PM me if you want to contact her...she is unbelievably clever too. She has written about it.

    Got to be fresh and perky tomo so I can try and drive through the slush and snow without crashing into anyone elses car.
  • Hi Mrs C,

    Are you still being horrid to yourself??

    You have got to set a good example cos us youngsters (mere 45 year olds) look up to you, you are a roll model ( a model for rolls??)

    I think it is great that you love ebay so much and you have done amazingly well at it so you are certainly going in the right direction if you are considering making it the day job. Good to have a plan, a vision, that's half the battle. You are sooooo getting there!!!
