    morning everyone,

    hope we are all good. busy day today as it's DD's 4th birthday so won't be on here much. I couldn't get to sleep either as my head was spinning with possible product ideas. that notebook by the bed might be the way forward for me too.
    Hopefully this morning, I can get up in the loft as my wife has a load of piggin ornaments we can sell, I know they don't go for much but some are collectors/members only pieces and some signed by david corbridge, the guy who started them so might bring in a few pennies.
    dillidalli - re advertising. depending on your market I would say social media is a fantasic free advertising medium, facebook, twitter, here, other forums, all good sources of generating traffic to a site. i'm sure other posters can think of other ideas

    thanks, it's a small one this year as money's tight. a game for her leapster and a giant fairy kite from costco. luckily she has a lot of aunties and uncles so her present count will increase by tonight.

    Know what you mean-My neice's birthday is Dec 13th, she had loads of presents for her birthday and then a week or so after another load for Xmas-it was too much,shes only 3 and it overwhelmed her a bit i think! I think relatives will be told to cut it down a bit next year. At that age they dont really care what they get. her favourite present was a little tub of bubbles that I got her as an additional pressie. Her Gran bought her a really expensive crawling doll but she cried and was shouting for the bubbles!! (oops!)

    oooooooooohhhh, bubbles! DD is the same, tosses everything aside for bubbles! DD got one of those rattle and go pooh bears for Xmas last year, she screamed that loud everytime it was turned on, we had to put it in bag in the back of the cupboard, bless!

    Morning all,

    Think I need a haircut, it officially hurts to have it in a high ponytail due to the weight of it!

    Think I am going to stick with housework today and try and clear some serious space, weather is good (not windy) today so OH has gone out to sea and taken the van driver with him, so no books today. Think I made a booboo, had a measure up of the shed and I think I can only get 30 boxes in there max, don't know where the other 42 are going to go :eek:

    Glad to see there is not too much to catch up on this morning, hope everyone has a nice sleep!

    Hope your bulk buy arrives today Mabel and you make lots of pennies! Don't forget to hide the best ones from OH! x

    Thanks Mummyandpaige :-) have now got a mental pic of you trying to get the shed door shut with books falling all around your head! Bulk buy has been sent special delivery before 1pm-typical as i've planned to go out! oh well will just have to go pick it up I suppose.
  • haha lol, think I am going to have problems!

    Isn't it a bit big to send royal mail? Hmm, don'y know what your house/area is like, but I leave a note attached to the door signed, to say "please mr. postman can you leave it in the blue bin" and he always does.
