now my head is full of jewellery type ideas you lot are evil.

No mortgage updates for today, broker called me at 10am to say OH employer would not confirm or deny he worked there without his written authorisation so it was quite call to OH to get him to pop into broker office and collect a 3rd party disclosure form and get it handed into his payroll office for 3pm then call the broker and say it is done so he could call lender and say you can call the employer now they will tell you. Why on earth the payroll lot couldn't of just called OH and asked if it was ok to disclose I do not know especially as he has already needed to ask them for a copy of the bonus section in his contract for the application so they are well aware he had applied for a mortgage.

Annoying burocrats. At least progress is being made.

checked PP account. ebay profit plus some pine c0ne surveys mean I could withdraw £290. Keeping that in my *spare* current account for the move.

I would also like to see your new website LP, sounds a lot of fun and a great money making sideline, considering you make a couple of hundred already from the wedding shop, just think of the possibilities I see the problem with the time and space issue though. who knows you may need to employ someone haha.

well done on PP account, thats a good amount. I never let it get that high, I always take out £20/£30 when I can

TBH I had frgotten my password and with the whole moving, not moving, moving before christmas OMG what will we do type thing it was only when i sat down to today and relaxed that it just popped into my head oh i know what it is.

Jewellery is a funny thing. I seem to be a bit mixed, I do the whole tiara, facisnator thing along with wedding type jewellery alot of perals and crystals but at the same time I want to be more contemporary different textures an materials. Silversmithing is great but butane blow torches and houses just don't mix, At the moment I work at a chest of drawers in my bedroom and keep beads/tools/wire/boxes in wardrobe. I could not do that with some kit I would need to aquire.

At side of new house there is a bit of land that some people have shoved a single garage on without compromising drive size. I half wondered about a work shed/summer house. Rear garden is south facing so not sure of the natural lighting or the possibility of getting electricity in such a thing. Also no idea if i would need to pay business rates or anything. We haven't even signed missives yet so trying not to make any firm plans or focus that much time on such a thing.

Jewellery making definitely takes over your brain LP! I spend half my life shifting my 3 tool chests full of beads, wire and pilers between one room and another, making new things, taking them apart again... trying something else.

My favourite thing though is when someone gives me an old piece of jewellery they don't want anymore... and I get to break it up for parts! Freebies rule!

I think I'm going to be more of a bead and wire girl than going as far as silversmithing, but I will be keeping an eye on your antics LP
