Catbells look at businesses in your own area too and not just London. Confidence can be a tricky issue especially if you're not used to working alone - it somehow tends to slip away:rolleyes: but you can stand in front of a room full of kids and teach them which is more than I could do - I would run away screaming.

Amber put your website on your profile on MSE as your homepage - set up a blog too and use twitter and perhaps LinkedIn. It all helps.

Might go out later - the sun is out and my car needs a run.

Hellooo :-) i've been a good girl and updated my blog on my website-trouble is I've done womething wrong and its not displaying right, gonna have to get my webperson to have a look at it, she knows she shouldn't leave me unattended to do computery things!

Just sold my first item on Ebay that i bought for the £100-£10,000 challenge..a whole £4 made but it's a start!

Horace

Woo Hoo Mabel.

Havent long come back from a business meeting with some award-winning serviced apartments - I now get preferential rates and 8% commission:cool:

Took some gold into Rex Johnsons too - its stuff I have either never worn or have worn but no longer wear (eg. not worn for years) - it was only 9ct but I got £105 for it:cool:

Need to cancel my Business Link courses that are on tomorrow and again later in the month - I cannot see to drive to the venue so rather than put myself and other road users in danger then its best to cancel.

Have a good day all.

website now fixed-for some reason it didn't like numbers in the webpage title...stupid pooters :-/

Well done on your comission Horace-what happened with the band youre managing-did you ever hear back about that support slot?

Am going to ring a wedding shop that i dealt with a few years ago about stocking my jewellery again..tried last week but noone was there-probably snowed in I guess.

Typical-woman I need to speak to not in til the end of the wekk, still at least I did it-one thing complished today woo-hoo :-)

I never did get them a gig - I tried and tried hard - in fact I made a decision today and won't waste any more time on them, I have emailed them and called several times since Christmas and they haven't bothered to respond - if they can't be bothered to respond then they can't be that bothered about their careers:rolleyes: You can't dance to their music but you can commit suicide to it:rolleyes:

Managed to get in touch with BusinessLink today and managed to cancel the course I am supposed to attend tomorrow (can't see well enough to drive there) and the one that I was supposed to go to on 23 Feb has been rebooked to the 16 Feb at a more central location. Unfortunately, they are not doing the marketing on a shoestring one again (well, not in a place that I can get to):mad: One thing that they did tell me was that they have some free podcasts which are available on https://www.howtosithbl.co.uk - you need to register on this site but it may be useful to someone.

Oh great jewelery making DFWs... I need to pick your brains!
I've agreed to make my friends crystal bouquet for her wedding - have the 4mm bicone crystals, have the wire... but the seller I bought the crystals from seems to have stopped selling so need to find someone else for some 6mm and some 8mm bicone clear and maybe purple beads. I ideally want crystal or at the least good quality glass... Any suggestions for a good/cheap supplier? Bear in mind after this I never want to see another crystal beed for as long as I live :rotfl: (I don't know how you do it, I really don't!)

Horace

No idea MrsT but you sound like a glutton for punishment making a crystal bouquet (I have no idea what one looks like because I have never seen one - so once you make it please post a piccie).

nosecsjustgems is another i use and gem junction as well are all good and reputable.
Your brave doing a bouquet, im hoping to do some for my fayre just need to kill the pain in my shoulder first. You will have to post a picture when yur finished i love crystal bouquets.
Hope everyone else is having a good day.
Im trying to sort my wedding stand but havent got the funds to make it as extravagent as some ive seen so im trying to be creative as much as i can. Got issues with in laws again as sister in law has taken i on herself to make sure everyone knows what a nasty piece of woork i am and constantly mess us around as well as getting the people that supposedly hate my in laws to keep going round now so my 2 children are like strangers. Im getting fed up of it all now, fed up of it making me ill and my marrage being on the rocks because of it. I dont know what to do at all.
Never mind in 14 weeks ill be sunning myself on a beach and having the greatest holiday.
horace how you feeling today? hope your feeling better?
