    EEEEKKKK, loads of reading to catch up on!!! Have been hectic in shop, hence my lack of procrastinating!

    Happy birthday for Sunday Horace!!! And Mrs T & MoneyMonkey for Monday, incase i hit the wine over the weekend and forget to say it!

    Mabel & JP i'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling too well. I think when it comes to mental health, not taking anything away from others though, when you are self employed there is that extra pressure to find an income to pay the rent/mortgage and feed the family. Ok, we survive without buying shoes and handbags every week, but when you have to think so carefully when you're doing the weekly shop, it does get depressing.

    Hugs to everyone who needs them & welcome to all newcommers. Welcome to the mad house that is self employment.

    PS. Mrs Tine, I have a hooker who comes into my shop..... i will ask next time i see her what she states as her living!

    Ace! :D I know it's a totally odd thing to wonder isn't it? :) But there you go... my mind wanders onto some pretty odd topics when it gets going ;)

  • I'm a Bzz agent too! Ive only had one campaign so far but have only been signed up about 6 months. I'm gutted I missed the iron thou, ours is crappy!! However my campaign was for chocolate :) which was nice. Been offered a couple since then, but none suited, one was for hair straightening serum, but i dont even blow dry my hair let alone straighten it! (Its dead straight anyway and on the odd occassion I go to the hairdressers, they ask me if I want it straightened and I just look at them funny!)

    Been having a funny couple of weeks, docs have changed my meds and its totm (i think) and so im sooooo snappy and argumentative, I feel v sorry for my OH, who is being a dear about it. I think I need to send him to TCM's OH with some advice about how to be nice!

    Yum..apple crisps:D

    I shall submit a few reports for this toothpaste - its the first thing I have had from them, I hope to have more nice things that I could possibly give away as presents:D Hair straighteners wouldn't be any good to me either - my hair is straight and there is nowt I can do about it.

    TCM - as for your customer do you mean that she plays rugby or is she a woman of the night?:eek: Thanks for the birthday wishes xx

    I have some of Lula's happy dust (Lula is a friend from another board) so I shall sprinkle it around and send love and happiness for the weekend. Signing off now..over and out.

    Horace I think she means lady fo the night ;) Because I was wondering what the author of "memoirs of a callgirl" put down as her "business type" on her SE form :rotfl: follow so far? :D I'm an odd person - my mind works in weird ways and these questions just POP up :D

    Hubby has decided tonight is a great night to get possible sinusitis... so I had to bundle myself down to Tesco after feeding the baby and medicating her with her ABs and get him some sinutab thingies. Got some sinuspray stuff too and wowee did that unclog my nose! EEEEP! Well maybe I can actually get some sleep tonight now LOL
    Just as well as if hubby has acute sinusitis (sp?) then I will be going to A&E with him instead of me enjoying a nice day at the good food show tomorrow :( Last time he had it he spent a week in hospital on a drip... joy! :S What a way for me to potentially spend my 30th birthday weekend *sigh*

    Anyway - moan over... going to finish watching Lie to me on Sky then head to bed...

    afternoon all, its very quiet on here today is everyone busy rather than procrastinating? I'm still stuck had to go back to doctors this morning after having another 3 attacks and am now on diazepam for a week to try and get me going again. Found out sister in law has shown FIL everything i wrote about him on facebook including the bit about hes lucky he sees the kids after he threatened to lock them in a room, I know it was the wrong place but i cant excactly say it to him when im 200 miles away. Somehow though its stopped me panicking, at least i know he knows and hey i only said the truth, so if he starts again im ready, my mum nearly thumped him for what hes done, and anyone that isnt related or knows him well knows hes nothing more than a bully, all i need is my mum dad john and my babies, and anyone who calls my babies can go jump.
    rants over now sorry i just only feel safe on here now, unless anyone here knows my inlaws????

    Hope everyones having a good day? I'm hoping to do some paperwork soon but im sleepy of the tablets, and on 600m anti inflamatries to stop the pain so pretty drugged up, hope i can get in touch with the people about the tv thing and explain im not slow just sick, have a good weekend everyone.

    happy 30th mrst, hope you dont spend it in hospital, and hope you get spoilt rotten
    back to comping in 2017, fingers crossed :beer:

    I should have added....

    I import all varied items from China to resell on ebay. Not a bad venture but a bit wary of suppliers that wont fulfill orders
  • *Hugs* JP Your FIL doesnt sound like a very nice person :( Fingers crossed the drugs start working You need to get urself feeling better ready for the Reebok!!
  • OOOOH half my new pc has arrived... but the other half is coming from a different shop and I there was a chance that it might arrive today, but looking at their website it hasnt been shipped yet... I was hoping my OH would be able to build it for me over the weekend (ive ordered all the individual components cos it can work out cheaper if you know what you are doing)

    Looks like I shall have to wait til next week to play with it :(
