    Well ive now added the how to iron the transfer onto the t shirt under the purchase section. I was going to add a sheet with every purchase, but decided it would not only save paper and ink, it would send the customer back to the website, always thinking!;):rotfl:

    I feel like I haven't achieved anything towards our target as my financial total is not worth mentioning BUT I have:
    :jstarted selling on ebay (only things from around the house so far!),
    :jstarted a blog and got 19 followers to date....really want one more asap lol
    :jand started writing a childrens book,

    all thanks to this thread and the confidence you have all given me!!

    This is the most positive thing in my life at the moment (thinking my dad!) (and excluding my family!!) Huge thanks to everyone!!
    Life is a work in progress

    Munchki that reminds me of a story - buddhist I think of a farmer whose horse runs away and the neighbours all rush round and say poor you such bad luck and he just says maybe.
    the next day the horse returns with 5 more wild horses and the neighbours rush round saying wow such good luck and again he just says maybe.
    next day his son is thrown from one of the horses and breaks his leg and the neighbours rush round again poor you such bad luck and again he says maybe.
    next day young men from the village are conscripted for war but not the farmers son due to his injury. again neighbours rush round fantastic news such good luck and again he says maybe.
    anyway you get the jist of it.

    I have heard that story and love it....I am by no means, out of the water and not far from drowing but I do have things in my life right now that make me so incredibly happy that every part of me tingles......if that makes sense. The past 15+ months have taught me about what is really important etc and that even with all the hell I have been through that sometimes we have to just see and allow ourselves to feel and accept and eventually you start to see what is most important in your life and what you thought was important never really was..I am pretty sure I am making no sense at all lol............sorry but I do know what I mean lol

    Thank you for that post MMTWGR, such positive vibes in here tonight and it's so contagious. I've lifted myself out of my mini funk and got my butt in gear tonight.

    I wouldn't be doing anything at all if it wasn't for the support of the Dribblers, learning something new every day and the knowledge gleaned from the dribbling in here is irreplaceable. What a fabulous fabulous bunch of FRIENDS you all are! :iloveyou:
