moneymabel

Dilli-its ok now! damn computermabob! I've done a new blog post all about your invites-if you want to send me a couple of photos I'll put them in my post if you want, I specifically mentioned the pink shoe one and the pop up garden one but any will do :-)

Have done all my listing etc,including refunding someone for something that hasnt turned up ...grrrrr. Plan of action for this afternoon is claiming through Royal Mail for said item :-(

I was looking at a seller on Etsy who does polymer clay beads and has something like 5450 sales(!!) and she does Dora the Explorer, even Disney, and I would have thought she'd have been done by now but apparently not, unsure how it works when it's your own interpretation.
I want filthy-mouthed old people in my post office! We just have to avoid the drunks outside...nice. Just had a long chat with my sister about jobs, she was telling me about someone who's as bad as me, she can't decide she wants to do forestry, floristry, or social work! I needed to live in the days when you had very little choice, all this opportunity confuses me...

Eek the oldies in my town would rather deck you with there walking sticks before looking at you. They actually sit and watch me struggle trying to open the door with the pram!

The babies trying to eat my CC statement :jif only it was that easy to make it go away lol.

Listed 2 items on eBay.

Got clubcard vouchers through, I now have £12 saved up, woohoo. Lol.

Actually, not sure I'm allowed to post a link and accuse someone of copyright infringement, but just search Folksy for twilight pendant and you'll see what I mean.

I've had a look on ebay and there are a lot of people selling "twilight inspired" stuff with hearts and apples and wolves and stuff, but very few using the actual images, so I suspect ebay are a lot more careful about this sort of thing. Would be interesting to watch a newly posted one which uses a film image and see if it gets pulled at any point.

Oh blimey, should I be starting the seeds already? I thought it had to warm up a bit first (not much space inside so was hoping to do them outside in a plastic greenhouse)

sorry everyone, off topic dribble!!

Depends what you want to grow - although all our stuff is indoors to get the extra warmth. We've got some early varieties which need starting now, but lots of things are ok 'til next month. I f you want to grow peppers, aubergines and some tomatoes, those need to be done now (indoors) as they have a long growing season.

Have a look on the gardening board - there's loads of advice on there.

AAArrrgggghhhhhh!!!! Just when thngs start looking up there is always something to put a spanner in the works!

Oh made an arragement to pay mortgage as due to him being made redundant we had to put a claim in to out payment protection and it was no where near full amount. assuming all was good i let him get on with it, have just recieved a letter saying he missed this months payment meaning we have defaulted the account, are in £900 arrears as he was only making a nominal payment, I knew there would be some but hoped my overtime would cover them. So now I need to do something fast to get us out of the mess he has put us in! S much for new job new start.

Sorry to post here but I really want to cry and with the kids here I can't
