chewits - the debtquake monster is coming

A drop shop. You dig out stuff you want to ebay and we do it all for you and post you a cheque at the end.

Officially opens tomoz so it'll be interesting to see how it goes.

How are things with you? Has OH found anything yet?

Brilliant idea! Wish you were nearer to me. Good luck.

OH has no actual job, but he is doing a few more hours driving and gardening. And he has, amazingly, listed 8 things on ebay this week, stuff that has only sat in the dining room for nine months waiting for him to get round to it. So that's promising.

how are your coloured buckets doing?

He will be slightly paid therefore only partial slave labour. I have just shelled out £1000 for a school trip and was informed today that there's another £90 to stump up!

He'll get a small amount each shift which he can put towards spending money on the trip. It'll also separate him from Team Fortress which will require some form of anti-psychotic meds to help him cope...grrr.

Haha! I love Team Fortress

He talks to it...in the shower...with different voices. I thought we had burglars!

That's Team Fortress not IT!! That would be really weird as opposed to just weird.

Thanks SH.

How's the coaching business coming?

I've started coaching 3 pro-bono clients. You never know one of them may convert into a paying one. For now I am focusing on my website, and refreshing my coaching skills. I officially finish at my current company on Tuesday - and am now theoretically on holiday rather than sick!

I have an interview Tuesday which if I got it would be fab as it would allow me to continue to set up my business - paying for website etc - while still having an income. If I get the job - I would use my coaching skills during the day anyway. From some of what I've read it can take up to a year or more for my kind of business to take off. I figure - given the 3 to 4 hours (a day!!!) commuting time I will be saving that I can still work on my business evenings and weekends.

I reckon it could take a while to earn money from coaching and don't want to feel under too much pressure - especially while I still have debts left to repay.... The job I've gone for is within a mile or two from my home and is at a lower level that I usually go for so I am hoping it will be much less draining.... and more family friendly.

ouch on those school costs!! I've just paid a £30 deposit for a £115 trip for DS - I thought that was bad enough!

hope the shop opening is going well
