    woohooo , I've had my first ebay sale - some one bought my maternity swimsuit for £8 on BIN :)

    Thanks very much for your help people - I am now the proud owner of my very own blog! I will have a play with it and set it free on the world at the weekend hopefully :)

    It'll be about the thing I know the most about - cats. I'm thinking that eventually, if I can get any interest on it, I may have a dabble in selling some bits and pieces too. I hope I'm not one of those people who gives up after a couple of months but with the encouragement on here I have a good feeling about it. Thanks again :beer:

    Totally random dribble (sorry) but have Survivors on in the background at the moment. Isn't it nice that one of the survivors was a hairdresser? Must have been, cos that government minister woman always has an immaculately trimmed bob.

    Right, that's me stopping work today, started briefly last night and have just worked it out that I've sorted out 333 banners for my website into 18 categories and made up a spreadsheet of it all. If anyone is interested in Affiliate advertising and was wondering which companies are signed up with Affiliate Future, then ask me :) lol.

    Ebay looks to be very slow tonight, no bids as yet on 43 items, never mind, am looking forward to re-sorting out ALL the books that I had sorted out for free p+p and then re-doing all the prices for the capped p+p, Joy is life and all that. Got some DVDs to put on n all and a stack of father day cards. Bit concerned that neither lego buyer has been in touch yet to say items received or left feedback.

    Not on my list, but I've spent the evening doing 11 packs of flyers to go out to people who will distribute them for me. So that's 530 flyers going postal. Not all will meet their intended targets, and not all of the ones that do will become customers, but it can't hurt. This is main business stuff and wasn't on my commitments list.
