Saucy hugs for you hun :-) you are doing really well, don't put yourself down. Soon you'll be in Spain with a succesful notebook business , sitting in the sun and all this sadness will be forgotten. Ps how much will postage be from Spain to England coz I really need a new cashbook?!

I've just written to my doctor. The hospital ignored my email, so I'll try and post it tonight...its basically just a letter saying that I need help, or I don't know what will happen. I can't struggle on anymore, no matter how much the hospital think I should. Being young doesn't mean I should be in pain like this...I'm so sick of it. No one wants to help me...sometimes I wonder if they actually believe me at all.

Thanks guys I'm back to cashbook making now. And Spain will be good, if the uni decide if I have a place on this course...expected to hear yesterday but they didn't know. I'm worrying!

Postage from Spain...I hadn't actually thought about it. I'll post things to the inlaws for them to post out if I've got a good business by then, they owe me, lol! Hopefully I'll have a wedding book and some cashbooks to show you all by tonight. And maybe a new website too!

I'll quit my moaning

Saucy, better out than in I had my moany day yesterday - and trust me you are being really upbeat most of the time considering how much pain you are in.
Saucy I was going to ask are you going to do any notebooks with squared paper? I love those and they are great for sketching graphics in.

My DD is 12, so top end for you, but here's my thoughts anyway :

What books do they enjoy reading?
> Harry Potter, Twilight saga, Percy Jackson books, vampire diaries, Hunger Games series

Do they have any favourite games (from outside with firends, to on a Playstation)?
> mostly on the Wii she does Wii fit, Mario and Sonic.

How do they enjoy spending their free time?
> on the computer! MSN with friends, iPlayer, etc. She listens to music (Pixie Lott, Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus are faves at the moment).

What do they spend their money on, e.g magazines (if so which ones), sweets etc?
> She likes teen girl type mags (can't remember the names - I tuned out when Jackie went out of business!), make up, music, clothes, going to the cinema with friends

Do they have any hobbies?
> music. Plays violin, piano and saxophone. Plays in string orchestra and regular orchestra.

What are their favourite school subjects?
> music and maths

Any school projects which they have really enjoyed and wanted to know more about?
> enjoyed doing ancient Egypt in year 4.

Favourite tv shows/films etc
> Twilight/New Moon, Harry Potter, EastEnders, Lost (shouldn't really have got her into that, but she's as obsessed as me now), Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Hannah Montana

Any topics they are passionate about, eg my boy LOVES volcanos (but he isonly 4 so a bit young for my research!)
> Greek and Roman myths. So she seems to be into ancient history but never really did the dinosaur thing.

So annoyed. I have been trying to do a balance transfer for about 3 weeks now. I have enough credit but they keep making mistakes or giving me duff information. so twice after a week I have had a letter saying they can't go ahead. So now spoken to someone who has sorted out the mistakes and setit up agai but will still take 7-10 days.
need it to clear some space on dh's low rate card to make final payment to builders.
Dh's other card which we were going to use to do a zero % money transfer using c/c cheques is "in review and not eligible for balance transfer/ cc cheques. but we have always used it this way with no problems and they haven't lowered the limit and we can still use the card for purchases. they never wrote to tell us but we found out when we rang to say his new card hadn't arrived. we had already written a cheque so had to ring and say to them not to bank it.
They wouldn't tell us any details on phone and we have to write to find out details.
Surely they should have let us know that we were no longer eligible to use credit card cheques.
On top of that kids are really arguing and fighing today- prob cos I am distracted.
Sorry this prob doesn't make sense but needed a rant.

Caseyface - your website is really good, must have taken you ages! How are you doing it, dropshipping? It must have taken you ages! Also, really cheeky, but can you get hold of bigger car seats? Won't need them for a month or two, but am going to need 2 oif them!

Thanks for your feedback, it didn't take as long as it looks, it's a really easy package to use and i have very little experience in web design.:o

I am indeed dropshipping, tested the water on ebay and sold a couple of things which all went smoothly but the fees fleeced me so i decided i might as well try and go it alone. Worst that can happen is nobody purchases anything but i can cancel at any time. I've been doing lots of marketing so hopefully will have some buyers, had quite alot of interest so far and it's been up less than a week.:D

I can actually get bigger car seats, or at least i think i know the ones you mean. I'll upload some more later tonight.:T

Thanks to everyone who looked and commented, it really spurs eachother on to do well! Flaming marvellous work everyone xx
