And tonight I intend to weigh some of my old text books and work out if its worthwhile selling them on Amazon, postage wise.

Anything Business/Finance related?

No, fraid not, the list consists of:
The cultural atlas of ancient egypt
The archaeology of animal bones
Roux's Ancient Iraq

I need to weigh them and work out if I can charge enough to cover the postage as the first 2 are very large and heavy....there is only one other copy of the 2000 edition of the archaeology of animal bones on Amazon, and its going for nearly £60! But I doubt I will charge that much as there are newer editions going for less, so I doubt anyone will buy that £60 copy, I know I wouldnt.

Hi all, hope everyone has had a good day. Not much to report, managed to put some money in my ISA and am hoping to get it full in the next couple of months so I can get on with my house fund. Almost had an NSD but was dying for some fruit juice.

Have booked a week off for the week after next which means I will have to find ways of keeping myself amused very cheaply, have already put one morning aside to search for a Waitrose.

Today's list:

• moved £300 to ISA
• coins in piggy
• reap papers online
• free coffee in work
• got money off coupons for refurbished supermarket- £6 off £20 spend x 2
• bought 3 4 2 fruit juice

Great news on the ISA & all other money savings too

I have done ok today as well :

1 x £2 coin
1 x free pizza voucher worth £3.99 from Waitrose
1 x £1.50 off voucher for chocci goodies at Waitrose courtesy of lovefilm ( I knew it would be worth reducing my package rather than cancelling )
1 x free bottle of wine (gift)
1 x 'we want you as permanent part time staff on the payroll as of november' from work job boss)

3 x free cups of coffee at work


Off to pour myself a glass of celebratory glass of Pink Elephant.

Back in a minute ...

Doh , completely forgot about the forum downtime, typed out lengthy reply to makeup & it disappeared before my eyes :rolleyes:

Thanks to both for encouragement, I am really pleased as even if it's only 2 days a week at the moment, it's replaced the work I've lost at the home job, & is better paid too . I was almost giving up hope of ever finding anything suitable or someone who would actually give me chance without requiring a full working history & CV. Last week I was asked whether I would be interested in increasing my hours / days when DD goes to secondary school. It seems that being very enthusisastic was the right answer to give

It's probably not much comfort to you right now makeup, but I believe that things happen when the timing is right, so maybe it just wasnt 'your time' or for some reason the chapel wasnt right for oyu at the moment. Something preferable will appear / happen when the time is right
