    lol thanks Elly, they are now standing with their arms folded on my windowsill, glaring at me from their burned eyes as a reminder to make sure the oven is on 'oven' and not 'grill'. I'll get pictures up on the fan page lol, only when I've got some more successful ones op! Please please clay come today :)
    I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @ss.... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

    Morning everyone. Oh no Paula, that's rubbish. I have managed to burn my clay beads loads in the past. I have taken to covering the dish they're in with silver foil to keep better even heat. Don't know if you do something like that.

    So today's plan is to take some nice photos of my sock pets and get the blog started. I started making an owl last night and need to finish him today. Trouble is I keep thinking of different things I can do to embellish them and keep needing to buy more bits to do it though lol.

    Hi,
    I'm a lurker to this thread but have been inspired by all the different ways you all boost your incomes!!

    I have a question about paypal that I'm hoping you maybe able to help me with?
    Does anyone know how much it costs to transfer money from your paypal account to your bank account?

    In the past I've not had to do this but now I want to get at some of the money I don't know if there is a fee?

    Thanks in advance for your replies :)

    2cats, really sorry to hear that, hugs for you x

    inaminute -I think anything over £6 in your paypal is free to transfer now.

    Hello all, Hello Shiny new thread, & Happy Monday
    Hugs to all x

    Cally – My condolences, sorry to hear about your OH Dad. And I really understand what you mean with the parent issue. I am the family ‘good girl’ and unfortunately it means that we are held to a much higher standard than our siblings. I don’t have anymore wise words to offer. But, the one thing that did help me was reading Emotional Alchemy. It is a self help book but I found it a good read and a great way of seeing my family through a different perspective.

    Craftytoots – those links are hilarious! Made me smile big time Also happy D day. x

    2cats- sorry to hear about the cat hugs x

    Babymoo – belated hugs x And I will catch up your blog a bit later.

    I was meant to post here all weekend; but the weekend ran away from me and also felt really rough! I don’t think that my body is designed for Caffeine anymore I had two cups of coffee on Saturday and the descent into crapdom started from there – I ended up throwing up about three times. Then, ironically reading the Metro on the way to work this morning they were talking about how coffee has a bad effect on the stomach acids causing all the ‘symptons’ I had over the weekend.

    Other than that, just going to try and take it easy today. The insomnia has come back with a raging vengeance – I did have a disco nap in the afternoon of about 2 hours. But, I only went to sleep at 3.35am this morning. Up at 6am for work and the hormonal thing – burst into tears for about a half hour, I just feel a bit all over the shop. So, I have resolved to book some time off. I guess, I didn’t take into account how stressful starting the new business would be.

    Don’t get me wrong, I am super happy and grateful – I am so happy that I have something that I love to do. But, I am just really running on empty and all of this coupled with housework just seems to have overwhelmed me this weekend. But, I am going to have a big mug or horlicks, a hot bath, and chocolate when I get in… and the thought of treating myself is enough to get me through today.

    If I have left anyone out: sorrys :/ , but I did catch up on about 30 pages of dribble, and you should know that you are all special anyway. :)

    Inaminute- yep it's free! There used to be a charge but they stopped it a while back. HTH

    that ebay car ad is the funniest thing I've seen for ages! Think I should mention it in the woohoo bingo chatroom I'm sure it would suit one of them !

    Hi Jenna- one day I'll be on here at the same time as you!
