    Yawn ... morning! I only got up at 7.45! Haven't done a stroke, I've just been rabbiting about on here :o Thats it - I'm going back to the bedtime hours I made myself do while I was trading - aiming for lights out at 11pm.... this is ridiculous.

    I don't have any paid work today, tho I do have one mystery shop on the phone and one inputting. Scratches! Seeing my partner for a natter. Following up on the s*dding emails that people aren't responding to. Oh, and today *will* be the day I post the big-stuff-for-sale-on-the-web.

    Have a good one, all!

    Hellloo... only 7.45 - that's when I get up every day! :o

    What's the link to your blog again? Thought I'd saved it in my favourites but can't find it!

    Edit.. it's OK, found it - some great updates there!

    :rotfl: thats made me feel better - 7.45 felt *so* late :)

    You've checked up on the blog! Thank you! I'm used to the to-ing and fro-ing on mse, so its weird writing on the internet but knowing so few people are going to see it. I've no idea how to publicise a blog - its about checking others out, basically, isn't it?

    My list is going okay - tho I still have two emails to follow up on, and the big-stuff-to-post. I've been going at stuff steadily. And my god, I cleaned (part) of the table - admittedly, it had soil all over it, but it was *so* dirty, even I feel slightly ashamed :o

    Must do those two emails, then I'll have a break - I need a cuppa tea:coffee:

    Yep I think so, and passing it on to anyone you think might be interested, and they might do the same.. having it in your signature if you're on any relevant forums, e.g. greenie issue ones (if they allow links in sigs of course). .maybe put the link on your Facebook page too or would everyone on there already know about it?

    Hmmm tea :) It's definitely time for that (and a little bit of chocolate :o)

    Thanks for that Squizz - a couple of green forums in particular is a *really* good idea, and I have a garden blog I can reactivate and adjust for the new place. Ye gods, I can't even remember the name of it now :o but I can certainly use that as a green blog for the garden for now - I'm getting a sense I want them separate.

    Facebook :eek::eek::eek: I think I'd want another persona, but of course, that wouldn't publicise it to my existing links, would it .... I guess I can put the link there for now, and delete it in future years, when I'm a Martin-wannabe in earnest :o:o:o

    Damn, I'm hungry again.... however, emails are done, people are chased and have answered, its good, extra railticket is bought. The only thing left on my list now, which is a pleasure really, is to send a graduation card to my youngest nephew. And then ... oven chips and quorn sausages with Heinz ketchup! I don't care if its hot, I've been looking forward to that meal for ages :rotfl:how pathetic.

    KC, I've been trying to find a link to an article I read (on a green, simple living kind of blog) about getting your blog out into the wide world... but I'm struggling to find it! Will keep digging... Forums is a good one, commenting on other similar blogs, er, that's all I know about :) (and I promised to put yours on mine - which hardly anyone ever reads anyway - but I forgot! So sorry! Could you post the link again? At the very least you might get a visit from my mum!)

    Thanks Cheery!

    I've just been having a look at where I used to have a *sort of* gardening blog - when my brother in law died, I just stopped, and now I'm moving, its really not relevant. But I might well change the name, or start up with another name, more linked to my green website idea. I'll keep puttering on.


    Ooh, and I have one more mystery shop to input ..........

    Hi KC waiting for the kids to finish tea so a few minutes before bedtime and I thought I would try and catch up on a few threads you have been busy. Can't seem to find if you have a definite moving date yet?

    Thanks for the kind posts and for those from other people on your thread I really appreciate the support and it is easier than dealing with people face to face at the moment although there will be plenty of that on Monday but I am trying to build myself up for that. We are trying to keep things as normal as possible for the little ones and that helps us get through each day and don't beat yourself up about comparing your problems to mine they are all important and certainly any health ones need dealing with we have learnt that lesson from Taxi.

    So look after yourself us oldies need to stick together.

    Love DTxx

    Oh sweetheart, thank you so much for posting, I really appreciate it. It makes sense what you say about this being easier than face to face, and about keeping normal, and you need somewhere you're used to being where you can be yourself, and not have to be strong for anyone else at all. You have that here, whenever you want it.

    The moving date is 18th August. I'm on holiday from next Friday, for a week, paid for by my sis and my mum.

    With love.
