    Munchki - Hunni I really am hoping everything works out for you. It's really really tough, I just wish I had a magic wand for all of us xxx

    Nixi - Great ideas thankyou xx

    Just replied to a few jobs on my hammer on Oh's behalf. Don't know if anything on there would be good for anyone just taking a look there was a pet sitting job for £250 in stirling was for 2 weeks and not sure if they wanted live in? There are loads of catagories may be worth a look.

    Off to figure out gumtree now report back soon lol x

    Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

    I think that's a really good idea about having someone care veggie plots in your garden. I have veggie plots but most of the veg dies or gets eaten by bugs/pigeons as I don't truly have time to tend to them properly. If all people had to do was go into the garden and pick the produce, then that would be fabulous! He'd also know where the surpluses are, so if one customer had a gazillion runner beans and another had a gazillion courgettes, he could maybe swap some? If you did that you could raise the small plants at home (maybe if you had space) and sell any surplus at car boots? (Don't know if you were one of the people who was going to do this anyway.)

    mimms, sorry to hear about the job, but hopefully it will lead to something else.

    yes you can, I have a foundation account through natwest that is free for two years, took less than 30 mins to sort it out as well and have a proper debit card etc.

    That is spooky nixi as i found a same ad on gumtree the other day for the exact same thing in another part of the country. very interesting indeed

    and yes now that is a good idea about ringing round to other dealerships! Now see that is why I love you all so much!!

    Btw, just got off phone, have another interview on Tuesday next week, if successful will have a second interview on friday and if chosen would start on the following monday! Not getting my hopes up but who knows.

    I had a quick flick through the paper this morning, and unusually checked the job pages, thought of you (for a split second thought about trying it myself too lol) and then was about to recycle the paper but thought - I'll keep it and see, gald it was worth while!! I will get rid of it now :)

    No probs Shell - they are a bit jumbled because I just typed without thinking so I hope you can glean something!! Also if youknow any firends who have lots of friends who use gardeners....can he offer to do your friends garden in return for word of mouth is they are satisfied. Might involve some free work.....oooo and of course put your leaflets in local nurseries/doctors surgeries/dentists.....anywhere that people linger!!

    If you know what you want to call your business and the domain name is available I would get it now and start building the site while you apply for a business account then you will be ready to go!
