We will see if country girls are as decent as pi keys

What you got worth ebaying?

I do have a little brass candle holder I was thinking of throwing out. Can't think of anything else. We car booted anything worth bothering about.

P.S. Who's a country girl?

PS I'll leave new thread till tomorrow - would be a shame to interrupt the conversation rudely.

Why not a cmbination of all help offered?

Sue, I think re the financial concerns it would be best if you could cope if we sent you the stuff to ebay...that way there is no risk of any infiltration of anyone's accts

A misused ebay acct isn't a major problem; it's giving out my paypal acct I'd be wary of doing, wageslave as - I think - it = free money. ie like access to your bank account?

Not sure, as I'm not v technical and have never given anyone else access to my paypal account!

But I'd be wary of you doing that - even to me or sjay.

It just seems wrong.

Does that make me very mean and untrustworthy?

Dunno, maybe just very mse?

And no, I don't have any better ideas...

No, its sensible.

I can still keep control of my paypal account. Think about it

Are all you country girls so distrustful?

In many ways, this has been an education to me.

And an odd way to start a new one.

It comes from being done over so often....I think we've covered this ground Elsewhere?

LIR is entirely right, we need to get practical.

We need to know how many are in and what we can expect cash wise.

We have plenty of time and we need a grand.

Not a insurmountable amount of money between us.

SJay get out your envelope.

We volunteered you in charge:p

I am my harshest critic and yes, I do always compare myself now to how I used to be.

It can also be handy though when there are people using the old single parent, never worked thing....I can hold my head up high and say I was a success..once..

I feel kind of uncomfortable venturing further into this convo with you as I know you are far too polite (your upbringing) to tell me to eff off

I hate failure, I am a bit of a taskmaster and demand perfection in all that I do...I can't help it, it's the way I am and it does do more harm than good sometimes, I admit I can get a bit OCD about it

At times I think my brother and sister just can't be my siblings as they don't have the same ambition gene, they are perfectly happy to sit in dead end jobs not going anywhere and run a mile from any kind of promotion they are offered, whereas I have always grabbed the progression and promotion in both hands.

I guess I'm just wondering what it would be like to not rate / compare all the time? ...Although I accept most of it is probably so ingrained its virtually subconcious.... Only bringing up as I think my upbringing was very much focused on the importance of status etc, I (obviously :cool:) rebelled against such values, which is not entirely good, but I just feel perhaps that tagging along with family line is less applicable now to you and your family given the circumstances? I'm rambling... I think I'm just saying, forget your siblings- what their choices say about them, forget the DM ranters- what their opinions say about them, forget the LPs (teen / divorced/ working / chav or otherwise) & what their circumstances say about them....

...forget all the imposed beliefs, stereotypes, fears - get out there and recognise what you've done, especially given your resources, and be flimmin proud of it. Also (and again, as with the rest of my useless tree-hugging post:D - this is just my opinion) if you get the opportunity, share your experience / knowledge/ love & intelligence - which you have in abundance- with others, if possible :A

I don't care how it is done

But her kids will be grown up before you lot make a decision.

I like things decided.

Also and in case anyone hasn't noticed, I am a bit of a take charge kind of person.
