    Ahem. Erm, the website is still there! Hasn't progressed in a long time, I can't build websites!


    :eek:Wow i dont think i have ever seen your website before - you are very talented!! Did you do that painting based on a photo? I would love a painting like that!

    Plus between his work and mine is Middlesbrough, and you couldn't pay me enough to live there! We're very much country people, neither of us like big towns. Different locations suit different people, and one of the villages over there suits us for the community, the tranquility, and the good schools.


    :rotfl::rotfl:I went to Middlesborough a very very long time ago....i take it it hasnt improved then :D

    Depends if you like cheap drugs and parmos really.

    Thank you Flower, I'm blushing! That's a huge piece, about 5ft by 3.5ft, one of my favourites. Currently hangs in our dinning room and I'll only ever be able to do prints of it after the bunny managed to nibble it. That painting is based on a tv episode actually, there was just a really nice shot of one of the characters looking all lost and yearning, so I paused the episode and got sketching!

    Loads of people seem to sell original paintings on Etsy, and prints seem to fly off the shelves at $15-$25 for an A4 (up to $100 for a limited edition, which I think is mad!), I'm sure if I had time to do some I'd be able to make something of it.

    I definitely think you could do it! That one on your website is brilliant :D

    Hi Dinah,

    That painting is fab! I draw a teensy bit but will never as good as that, and I cannot for the life of me, paint, but would love to. Sure you'd do well if you got more paintings on there.

    Hope get news soon about your latest offer!

    Ooo you'll have to keep us updated on the offer, Dinah. Exciting!

    In the office we have got the Xmas tunes on, we are getting all Christmassy! I love them especially the cheesey ones. Normally our boss vetoes them but he is away so I have got the Spotify all to myself.

    Just ran another budget and basically I need to be bringing in a minimum of £820 for the time being to enable us to continue to have our current lifestyle. That's not so bad, as I earn double that at the moment, so even if I had to keep working when we have children, we could afford for me to be part time. So now my challenge is to get myself an etsy shop turning over that much a month :D Think that could be my 2010 resolution.
