    At least it's a good problem to have, right? and you will be getting the balances down in no time :)

    @Mrs Robinson... if you want the toast stamp for mothers day... then would need to post tomororw to be on the safe side! as for red spotty things... there are lots of other red spotty things that match the items we have listed! pink spotty too!

    @millionaire in training... yes when the money finally arrives bearing in mind its in euro's and currently tucked up in cyprus at the moment.. we will all dance a jig! but i feel bad for my friend today with her problems.

    But this is a good problem....:D EBay sales stress me out..isn't it silly? Must be the Feedback thingy at the back of my mind.

    Good news about the stroppy customer...we got royally scammed today for £100 in Real Life. A PITA.

    I am getting into FB too...slowly mind as I am up to my eyes in other stuff but managed to post something today too. Thanks for the inspiration..it was you who pushed me despite having been nagged at by others for ages.
    Just need to get some party pics on there from my other admins.

    OMG 11k odd.....My instinct is to stash it for a while ..as emergency whilst your new venture builds up it's turnover....depends on the interest rate situation is though. Maybe a F+F to one or 2 of them...you could 'phone and ask.
    Swipe a little out of it to build stock levels with more variety/more lines maybe?

    Sorry to hear about your mates burglary.....and the get-outs insurance companies have are a scam too...my mother ran an antique jewellery business and her house was like Fort Knox but they had to exempt (or something) from alarm the kitchen/diner as the cats were in there at night.

    I didn't Twitter today as I was too manic.:o

    I have done it and it feels fan-diddly-tastic. It was one of the things I dreamt of that kept me going during that hard times in 2007.
