Wow, I have some much admiration for people who are making things themselves to sell. It must be so satisfying and rewarding - kind of puts my little enterprise to shame.
Love the sulkies!

I go through phases of loving ebay then hating it! Why don't people just pay straight away when they buy something? I sold an item for £2.99 BIN to someone with 100% feedback on 800+ items 5 days ago. They still haven't paid. I'm scared to open a NPB dispute because last time I did that I got negative feedback calling me impatient!! Its just not worth a possible negative for £2.99. But arghhh!!!
And ebay won't let me add pay immediately to my BIN items for some reason - don't you have to be a business seller for that?

Copperjar.... I would send them a polite email/message via ebay to say that if payment is not received within x days then you will, unfortunatly, have to open a NPB.... works for m, no negs from NPB!!

MMTWGR - wahey!! Glad things are looking up luvvie....glad to have you back... we need your inspiration....

Mabel - tattoo logo?? FAB idea!!

Been to the garden centre, sorted out all my seeds, OH has offered to cook dinner :eek: so I guess I will have to get on with my ironing

Hello! :j I'm back from my walk along the coast! We were walking for two hours but didn't notice as we were chatting (dribbling) so much! It's beautiful out there - i feel sunny at the moment too :j

I have also created a blog!!! :j Well, it doesn't have words yet, just a title and a pic of the ducks but for me that was the hard bit - thanks for your encouragement Jo, you were right as usual about just getting on with it :T I hope you're managing to clean your kitchen! At least purple seems to be a popular colour

Off to sort the veg for the roast now, yum!

MMTWGR - welcome back
MMabel - can't wait to see the new stuff but might hold back from looking until after pay day!

Bye for now :j

Well done Em - love all your smilies too.
Off for a shower while Dh looks after kids.
The paint will be fine - mostly cleaned and DD loves wiping things so she did quite a lot of it once I'd got rid of the puddles. Will need another wipe or 2 later.

Well utter crap, listings have ended: one of my coats no bids at all, the other only a starting bid at £15. I'll have to decide whether to let it go at that, although my gut instinct says no - I had a look at the profile of the only bidder, same one who asked if I'd take off reserve and wanted to know how much I'd let it go for (didn't reply to that last question), and she sells items similar, with a current one on at a start of £20 and buy it now of £49. I don't want her getting this for a measly £15 then selling it on herself! Grump.

Jo, thanks for your help with the seeds, I had a brainstorm this morning and wondered if the site didn't like the address format we were using with me living in a flat, so I went on today, change the way I wrote the address, and it worked fine.

Off to sulk now.

Youre safe Em -it wont be on for a while hun!!

Thanks Mambury-I've got a black rose tattoo that I have had for about 20 years-tend to forget about it, but just glanced it in the mirror and thought it would be a good logo. Have found something abit more fancy which is a heart shape with 2 roses in -quite delicate but tribally. just wish I could work out how to get photoshop to open it ..grrrrrrrrr stupid computermambobs

Moneymabel, I'm not expert by any means, but I think you might be having a prob because it's a gif. Try opening the picture in paint and resaving it as a jpeg, that should work.

lol-well your obviously better than me coz I have no idea what 'paint' is!!

moneymabel

ahhh i've found it-no idea I even had that on the comp!! i'll give it a go :-)

Crafty_Toots

Hehehe, ok - if you go to the picture in your folder, right click, then click Open with..... Paint should be an option, click that and it'll open the picture in paint for you. Then all you have to do is File - Save As - then save it as a different name. You should then be able to open the new picture in Photoshop. I think.
