The Turn £100,00 into £10,000 by the end of 2010 all dribble unofficial Thread

HopeAndDriftWood

Oooh yeah that would be a good idea! We should definitely suggest it. It'll mean if anyone needs anything we are selling there will be a good list, too, so we can support each other!

I think I'm gonna hit the hay now, I can't wait to wake up! I'll talk to you tomorrow, PM me your website if you get it finished!

Speak to you tomorrow,

being able to have a few years off with your kids young is priceless, that is worth more than any amount of money in my opinion because you can't buy back time...... which is alot to do with my motivation to want to be at home with the kids while they are young at least, be here when they get home from school and all. I think there is so much emphasis put on making loads of money these days or both having to work, often its necessary but sometimes just cos we are used to having everything we want (materially) when we could prob make do on alot less and give the kids the time.....I know which I preferred as a kid, didn't have my mum at home after school etc and god I would have loved too.

Thank you, that makes me feel good about staying home with my kids
I'm not kidding when I say this thread has made me excited to get up in the morning, even in January! I'd been dithering about whether I ought to get a job, feeling guilty because I wasn't properly 'providing for my children' even though everyone said it was good to be there for them when they were little. Now, I feel like I'm dealing with my debts as well as being able to spend time with the children (10K would get us completely out of debt and I would be able to start driving) and I don't constantly feel like I'm struggling to have some 'me' time - I can do internet stuff, charity shop shopping, and crafts with or around the kids without ignoring them and I feel like I'm doing something for ME! I also like that I now have something to talk about with OH when he gets in; instead of talking about what the other mums on the bus were doing I actually have something interesting to discuss with him love it. My brain is working! Woohoo!

Well now I have woken up from the excesses of goulash and red wine and literally dribbling.

As much, as it I don't mind being a dribbler, it was used in a very derogatory way, and we are all aspiring to great things, and giving it our best shot, and I am reading great posts.

So for the longer term, in my humble opinion, the word needs to go from the title of the thread.

It's only really there for a joke isn't it although tbh when i go to mse and forums it's usually right there on the forum list as being the most recently posted-to thread, and all I see is 'The turn £100 into £10,000...' anyway! I haven't subscribed as it sounds like facebook, they keep sending you emails to tell you someone's posted, or have I got that wrong?

reading all the activity overnight I'm really happy about this thread again.
Can't believe whitewillow. from no inspiration to niche business in a matter of hours :T:T:T:T
would say to google to see if there are people doing this but not on ebay as if there are you need to be looking at their prices and service when setting yours up. But great that no one else is on ebay.

Also offer to link to all the paintball places who let you publicise with them. It will give you a great links section and improve your search engine stuff if they do a reciprocal link on their website.

Wow, it is all change! God you dribblers have been busy. I proudly declare myself a bi-dribbler! I am going to post on both threads.
Well done whitewillow two thumbs ups

Mornin everyone!
Blimey Whitewillow you have been busy-well done on the new business idea!!
Just proves that the chat can make all the difference. I've been feeling a bit glum that people are coming up with business ideas when I forget that i already have my wedding jewellery website and I just need to get it noticed! I have updated my listings on hotfrog and tweeted and facebooked :-) Going to look into gumtree later.
Then i will tweak a couple of my ebay listings as they need a bit more ooomph! but first i'm gonna finish my tea and toast...marmalade if ya wanna know lol and take the dog out for a walk. See ya later :-)

Have you tried advertising on established wedding blogs or just a bit of flyering. I am going to a couple of bridal shows next month and I will be giving out some portfolios and flyering while I am there. It is a good way of drumming up business. I am starting my site over the next few weeks and there is a blog attached so I am more than happy to give you a mention - but I have very low almost non existent traffic at the moment.

You're right, and things seem to be progressing as normal, and Bing0 seems happy, so maybe it's best all round. .
