Shell06 - ribbon would be fine but depends on age of your dd and width of ribbon as to how easy she would find it to thread them.
nixinixis children are quite young so thought she would be able to make the beads and them do the threading -but older kids would quite enjoy making them I think.

Thats a good price for low mileage-mine was £3995 for high mileage but it was from a garage. If you go to look at it make sure you check the panel at the bottom of the rear windscreen (where it goes into the boot bit) notorious for rust which i found out after buying the car to find it was nearly rusted away :-/ New panel is £700!! luckily managed to get a second hand one.

Sorry to everyone we have gone really dribbly and off topic. Mimms feel free to Pm or email me if you want any info/chat/dribble!

hi wayne thanks for the post regarding my site. Indeed free postage has been worked into my price. However what i have done for now is to try and market my products at low prices taking a slight knock onto my profit margins but to try and drive sales. My dad who runs a retail shop suggested this as this is what he did until customers were coming in repeated to buy then to slowly increase the prices. I thought the offer of free postage would work well to drive in the people into my shop at least. As for the kinks i think im slowly getting there. More and more people who comment the better in my eyes so i can perfect the site to the best of my ability and as dillidalli suggested moving onto a paid package.

Right my turn! If I could get hold of a bundle of clothes for silly cheap, including these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Citrus-Chiffon-Sequin-Cocktail-Prom-Dress-Size-10_W0QQitemZ380169216471QQcmdZViewItemQQptZWomen_s_Clothing?hash=item5883d9e1d7

for £3.20 each, should I go for it, can't do it til next week and I get some money together, but min order is £800. OH is due a £1000 payout from the windfarm to buy his rights to fish where they are putting it. Am going to butter him up to loan me the money, but am in real need of an objective opinion. Am I going to be doing right by getting the lot? I think so, but they say that judgement is always clouded when it come to yourself.

It is a mixed lot of 314 pcs btw, only 12 of these dresses, but other items are similarly resaleable though.

Mambury, where did you get your mannequin from, think I may need to invest in one, hope I am not treading on your toes btw!

Also, decided the toyshop may be a good idea, but to be safe, I would need about £40k start up capital, so that is well and truly on the back burner, but jsut say that I were to open up a shop or market stall, could I do that on ex chain store stock, as long as I didn't say where it came from?

Cheers

bloody animals! been wondering all morning what the god awful smell here was, chnged both DD's nappies thinking it was them, but no. Postie just been, got my shiny new CC (for EBay purposes only) and I found the smell! Looks like it is too cold to go outside to poo, blooming animal did it right below the letterbox as well, and post has just dropped right on top of it, great.

Anyone want a cat that doesn't like the cold? White with black tail and ears, long haired, size of a rat??? Free postage, will send first class!

moneymabel

Urrrrggghhh-no I think you can keep the cat!!!!

Dont know about the dresses-I am no fashion type person but sounds ok if the rest of the items are similar quality. its a pretty dress :-)
