    'Tis quiet Bookie.

    Read back - you got a good stash from NEC yesterday:p!!!

    Squizz - I find I'm actually faster in the morning on the rare occasions I can lever my carcass back out of bed:rolleyes:

    I usually am too, was a serious struggle getting going today though!

    Thanks Becky.

    According to a management course I was on you have to turn your rocks (big jobs) into grit (little tasks) and then get rid of the grit!:rotfl:


    Awful lot of grit here!
    Nec was a good day out. Sooo thrilled with my SAGA bag :rotfl::rotfl:
    Will not be using that one in public.

    Being trying to work out what I could sell. I have a Sizzex system and dies but never done e-bay selling. :confused:Plus I think the postage would be offputting. Must ask Sally for advice.

    Luc - that'll be the tablets

    Bookie - whats a sizzex system!

    Grit - working from home, I am finding I am tackling lots of big jobs in little bits and I go to bed much more relaxed.....

    but now I am going to sit down and do myself a little timetable for next week cos I have an awful lot to do and I can't bumble out ad hoc...

    Bookie, no idea what one of those is, but could you could list it for collection only? Or throw in free delivery within x mile radius and £x a mile after that?

    Well done Chloe!! :T

    Luc, the tablets can have a few annoying side effects (like tiredness), but they pass don't worry.

    I was up till 2am, talking to someone ;) - is it Saturday yet?

    Got a hair appointment at 12.30 and loads of housework to do today so better get on with it I suppose! :)

    Bookie, how large is your shop window....could you not put it in there.....sold on behalf of a customer ;)
    Commission sales accepted.
    I was astounded how well knitting wool sold, but then I realsied that a lot of people don't have nearby shops and buy off the internet all the time.
    As long as postage and packing is a true reflection.....people are happy to pay it.....saves trawling round the shops comparing prices.

    I never thought of that! Stupid Bookie. My brain is just not capeable of thinking at the moment.

    I've got a Sizzix too. Don't thinkI've ever used it constructively - just kind of played with it to see what it could do...:o
