Hi all!
I have had a massive read-a-thon this morning just been catching up with everyones posts:

Yukkibear – hand crafted blog sounds great I want to be on it
Saucy – hope you are feeling better. You said someone tweeted images without mentioning you. Put a url or watermark on your images so that they can be traced back to you easily.
Steve – Keep on posting your updates are just as helpful as everyone elses, and they help spur me on. When you hear other people are doing well, you want to do well too!
Amber – I saw this over the weekend and thought you might be interested it is online editing work and they are looking for people/proofreading www.wordy.com
Skint- The corsages are lovely! Really nice well done you J Well done on setting up the folksy site too!
Mambury – great news about the mentoring for jewellery – great news.
Em – Go Rubix cube J

As for me the weekend treated me the way that a baby treats a nappy. As you know I was really excited about the wedding shows as it was going to be a golden marketing opportunity. Screwed up both! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The first wedding show which was the designer wedding show in Battersea I completely missed, I managed to convince myself that the show was on the weekend of the 27th when it was valentines weekend. I have been kicking myself ever since.
Also, I was really excited about the national wedding show as I had a free ticket. However, there was a fault on my laptop – for someone reason the Bluetooth devices had uninstalled themselves and were not showing up on my computer. So, my Bluetooth advertising software would not work. It took a 48 hour google search and various solutions to try and get the bleeding thing to work again which happened at 8:45pm Sunday night. I spent the rest of the night sulking about having to go to work. Just really disappointed in myself because I should have checked my equipment in the week that I had off grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr – Golden opportunity wasted. I could kick myself.
[FONT=&quot]The icing on top of the cake is that OH might be made redundant and he will find out this Friday, on his birthday, which is both nervewracking and crap he is putting on a brave face, but I feel really bad for him.[/FONT]

Oh hun, big hugs! I know it is frustrating about the wedding shows but there will be more and next time you will make sure that everything is ready and perfect and NOTHING will go wrong! Re OH been there, my OH was 'under threat fo redundancy' for 18months and then it was all resolved with hardly nay redundances, but now all up in the air again. I used to get really stresses as I am a SAHM and we live month to month with 0 behind us but realised I couldn't do that and what ever will be will be - works most days! You will be ok, when one door closes another opens..... ((HUGS!))

Dillidalli - that sounds so frustrating. and so difficult having to wait to find out about redundancy.
Hope the other parts of your week go well.

Mummyand paige-I reckon go for it re the books if you have the space to store them-gotta be worth a shot!

Dillidalli-hugs for you hun,hope things get better for you soon.
Welcome back Munchki-hopefully you will be back in Scotland before you know it.
I am putting off going to the post office as I have 5 parcels to send and they are all big, will have to go in twice :-/
Might have a shower first and then think about it again!

Paula - I second the wanting to have a nosey!

Dillidalli - Try not to stress, whatever happens will happen, you just need to formulate a plan B, we are all here to help in whatever way we can.

Munchki - close the curtains and stay on here! You will be moving soon, just keep thinking that and you will get through!

Nixi - I know the feeling, OH is a fisherman, we live week to week and if the weather is bad, we have nothing except the tax credits (like this week).

Going to keep an eye on the books, but blokey-who said that it doesn't have to be EBay, he has got tonnes, all I need to do it ask.

sheloveshimsomuch - do you have a garage and would you like some books?!

Jo - only used Paypal postage once and got it a bit wrong! Missed of a 0 in the weight box, as I sent it recorded had to go to PO, I paid £2.76 and PO gave me receipt to say £8.50 postage paid.....ooops!
