Munchki - Why are you not a buyer??? Seriously if you have a talent for it why not?

BetMunch - pm'd you

SkintBint - you got snow?? we have has a slight dusting. look online for a contract that will suit you and call O2 saying 3/orange/vodafone will give me 500mins and unlimited texts/internet for £20 a month plus a newer handset. Can you match it?

You should be a buyer ... and your ex boss (and any future boss) should have had you on commission. It is an art form to get real value when purchasing and you sound like a natural .

Where as i spend £17 on little glass 'L' 'O' 'V' 'E' letter things that are actually plastic with 'made in China' on the bottom, I now have £2.70 of my budget to last me til Friday and i'm not even a remotely smushy person so not even very 'me' :rotfl:

hope you got a nice bonus on those savings you made! glass of red sounds nice but have a stinker of a cold - was looking for that crabbies alocoholic ginger beer thats just been released absolutely delicious! but cant find it anywhere here:(

That sucks I love ginger beer. Although I never have it, whenever I feel sick I feel too rubbish to go get some...I guess I should buy some in advance? Lol.

I am looking forward to not getting up at 8am...it was just too early, I don't think I've ever seen that time of day before!

Plastic Love ... for those who aren't really serious about it this valentines day (has to be a market for it ). We should compile a book of all the strange and wonderful things our minds persuaded us were a good idea over the course of the year ...

awww thank you for that. I would love to be a buyer, but you try breaking into it without having that lovely piece of paper (qualification) that says you can do it!! I have given up on the thought now

hi Lilac - no snow here yet - blowing through earlier - forget that just checked all white now just what i need, thats me on the paper round with the wee man at the back of 6 - dont let him go on his own when the roads are bad.
did you win on the bingo last night - hope you had better luck than me!Have you thought of trying that posh dress shop in the East high street in Forfar or Dorothy's Dress shop in Castle Street in Forfar, also Fashion Flair in Letham as outlets for your jewellery? what about that Stawberry fayre shoe shop in the Ferry, or down the westport in Dundee - you know opposite the Globe not sure whats there now but used to be little expenive shops. What about a cabinet at
Abernyte Art & Antiques Centre - £40 a month or so

Right guys - I think i need some help!!! :rotfl:

no - seriously! I have ideas of what i would like to do but dont really know how to go about them or how sellable they are!

My only 'talent' if you can call it that is im very good at making hampers/gift boxes etc up - here's a pic of one i did a couple of xmas's ago for a gift for my auntie



So i was thinking about doing smaller sized (gift box size) ones - possibly with make up in???

What do you guys think????? It's taken me nearly a week to build up the courage to ask you all what you think - daft i know coz i know your all great!!

Hales, I work in a big office block and our postroom is a kind of walk through area - people put second hand books for sale, Avon books, odds and sods they want to sell on or give away in there. Not sure how this could help you, but I'm thinking that where there are a lot of women, there are a lot of opportunities for gift boxes and make up. Do you know anyone who works anywhere like that who could put a sample somewhere it will be seen? Or could you do a leaflet advertising what you do? I'd be happy to pin a leaflet up for you at my place.

ETA I can't see the pic, not sure if that's me or you!

ETA again - lol skintbint, that answers my question!

I could easily fill half the book with the sort of stuff I buy and regret :rotfl:

Very weird shop it was aswell. My friend told me it was amazing in there (she furnished her house with things the shop threw out, some nice bits though) and they had a £1200 dining table in the window; half the stuff in there was total carp and i'm sure some was second hand, it made literally no sense *Insert confused smiley*

Hales you piccy isn't showing for me.

Make up sounds a good idea, any way you can get loads of freebies?? possibly ask at your local department store and test the market. I think they would sell well with valentines day and again Mothers day 14th March or something. My husband knows i use clinique but wouldn't have a clue where to start, I presume this is a typical man thing but if he saw a little box with the title 'perfect for mothers day gift box packed full of clinique products he would think great not what is my paypal password.
