  • My little one does a corker every morning. The bedroom reeks when I wake up and then I have to stumble around half asleep, elbow deep in green poo and 3 other kids shouting where's my shoes mum. Not nice. But every morning without fail. I even tried to wake up before poogate so I was in control but she had already done it. I give up


    That's sounds pretty bad hun. The first time my little man did a poo on his potty he sat there shouting 'I need all the grown ups in the bathroom right now' all matter of factly, waited til everyone was there and stood up all proudly(bless) and asked me to take photos of it (not so bless) :rotfl:
    He still likes to have a good look at his poos before there flushed, he's a strange one.

    Yeah !! Glad you decided to go with it - I think its a popular, tried and tested idea and its great. What did your OH say? Vistaprint are great for business cards, especially if you will need new ones soon when you are no longer a student. Ebay has some great logo design packages on there. I got alogo designed for the plastic storage company I have from an ebay seller in USA. Think it was £12 !!

    OH was fine with it, think he knows that its my hobby and I could make some good money from it :D Even more when I'm fully qualified.

    Will need to buy some towels too (from poundstretchers) but don't no what colour to get. Lemon maybe? Nice and fresh looking?

    I'll check out Vista print. I'm going to scour google images and see if I can find a logo idea that will stick in peoples head. Would help if I had any idea what I wanted :rotfl:

    Poo gate :rotfl: I'll need to remember that one.

    Do you fancy a buddy for matched betting in February? Might make it a little less scary!!

    hi paulabear.

    Not feeling motivated yet. Only had one cup of tea so a few more to go yet.

    My problem is trying to spin too many plates. I need to back off a few ideas and concentrate I think. Ebay is slow. Play.com and Amazon have stuff on them so I can just let that tick. Need to do matched betting in February so might need to read through all the guides this weekend again in preparation. I have loads of stock, but I think I might wait a month or two and then put it on ebay so less sellers.

    I also need to buld my main business up but I am putting this off. Been 6 months now and I always come up with an excuse why it isnt the right time !!!

    Also got to redeliver two lids that broke in transit last week. Really cant be bothered !

    GET A GRIP MMTWGR

    What do you need to do to build your main business up? Are you on the Ning group for getting other people to do things (research etc) for you yet? My links don't tend to work so will PM you the address if not.

    You sound like you've got a plan though, that's great :) And you have four kids? We're thinking of having another one, everyone thinks we're mad but it must be feasible!:rotfl:
    I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @ss.... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

    Monring everyone!

    Just had a skim read of the thread to catch up so apaologies if I have missed anyone.....

    WIllow and Saucy - I would rremove your email addies from the thread in case of spammers trawling t'internet


    Cally - I would leave it until they contact you again.... might be genuine but it might not! BEst to play safe!

    Nikki - massage table!!! Are you near me by anychance ? Could do with one! Try Vistaprint for business cards etc, choose what you want, leave it in your basket for a few days and they nearly always reduce the prices really cheap or even better free!!! I need a logo too, so I was going to put a post on the small business thread to see what happens.

    Amber - can I help???? maybe a site for fetishists similar to ebay might be a goer, bit like ebanned but fetish only???? That way you don't have to do selling just the running and advertising??? I think that would work quite well alongside your dom site.....

    Cjj - try ebay with stuff you already have lying around the house to help you to learn about ebay, make sure you know what you can and c an't do on ebay. Check out the dvd listing and completed listings to see what sells. Don't forget you have to offer free P&P so factor your p&p costs into the start price...... PM me if you want any help!

    LizD - PM Amber with your email address and she will add you to the group!

    Princess - Congrats, he is very cute!!! I love babies, I have a problem when they start walking and talking!! LOL!

    Skintbint - fill your hotpad/bag with wheat...... it does leave a funny smell but if you add some lavender to the mix it just smells of lavender when you heat it up!!

    Jennyjj - you are at the right place..... just ask if there is anything we can help with!!


    well... I am off to do some more listing on ebay today.... try and get some stuff sold!!

    One sale on amazon last night....

    I am also going to place my first official business order today!! Wish me luck!!

    hope everyone else is okay this morning!

  • Morning everyone!

    Hope everybody is ok today.

    I am going to try and list 15 items today as it is my day off and everyone is getting paid this weekend so eBay should start moving a bit more.

    I might go to a car boot on Sunday if the weather is ok to have a scout around, I don't usually go until March because before then the dealers are there.

    mmtwgr - who do you think is ahead and why are you those getting vibes? I had that alot about a one or two people on the old thread but now that we have 'lost' the main one I feel a lot more relaxed about raising the money now - being pressured to raise money makes make feel uncomfortable and more likely to walk away.

    We may or may not get £10,000 but whatever we get will certainly make a difference to our lives and that of out families - but what we have learnt this year will hold us in good stead for next year. I have started a notebook, and have written everything that sold in Dec/Jan so that I can look out for it over the year ready for next Jan.

    Right off to list otherwise I'll never get that car or pay the cc off!!!

    see you later x

  • Main business is selling plastic storage boxes. Boring but brings in the money. I sell on ebay, and have my own website. Works fine, but to go from del boy to richard ranson, I need to seriously kick bottom.

    I have to produce a brochure and some flyers and send them out to one of my target markets. Simple really but amazing how much it pains me to even think about it !

    I have 4 kids and I am on my own. 12 yrs, 6 yrs, 4yrs and 3 months. I wanted 6 but had to be sterilized due to 4 caesarians. So I am gutted. Think once your house gets to a certain level of chaos, and the cobwebs get to a certain thickness, and the tiredness renders you close to useless, then thats it and it wont get much worse. You could throw triplets into the mix now and I dont think it would make much difference - I barely sleep, eat, clean or chill. Oh well, I adore them so I wouldnt have it any other way.

    I would love to join the Ning group but I can honestly say I have no idea what Ning is !!

    nikki2804 - Choice catalogue had some massive bath sheets for £3 !! They were great and would have been perfect for your business. Keep an eye on the grabbits section and you might pick up some cheap quality towels. Lemon sounds gorgeous. Think some places use black, in case of staining that doesnt come out in the wash !!

    Would love a buddy for matched betting but apparently against the rules to say that. I had a thread pulled for that. But I will PM you and talk about how we shouldnt be buddies if you like ;)

    Yummymummy - I want to live in your house - it sounds more fun than mine. I remember when the 4 yr was potty training - she was ages in the loo, and eventually I called her and she shouted all excitedly I've made a discovery Mum ! I asked what, and she said poo doesnt come off wallpaper !

    Well its definately not me ahead!! although have had an ebay sale this morning but now my printers packed up so thats that money gone..grrrrrrrr
    lol at the little lad and the poo photos!!bless him!

    Had an idea...ouch! what if we put anything that is 'important' like sales/ideas questions in red so if anyones just skimming for facts it would be easier..I know its hard to believe that there are others that arent interested in Arsenal and smelly socks but might avoid any more split threads? PS I like Arsenal and socks fascinate me so its not me!!

    Just an idea :-)

    I did think of black but I know from my black dishtowels that they fade really easy :mad:.

    My lecturer always said "a good beautician doesn't make a mess" :shocked:

    Erm yeah, I never make a mess **damn wheres the roll eyes smiley gone?**
