    Jo - I'll definitely share it - i was reading it earlier this evening and was totally captivated. About how to accept your child is doing their best even if it appears like they're being difficult. It took me back to my childhood and was a really powerful message about my own upbringing as well as how i intend to bring up my children, when they eventually come along. I really admire you and your values. I'm really interested about your decisions to educate your children at home - i can see you're doing a fantastic job. Actually, fantastic doesn't do it justice, but i'm in awe of what you do and how you do it.
    Just £10,852.28p to go...

    :D

    Trust that little voice in your head that says "Wouldn't it be interesting if...";
    And then do it.

    Don't be in awe Em - like I say I often talk the talk better than walking the walk!! But the more I think and write stuff the more I live it so blogging it certainly helps.
    Thanks for the lovely comments Em - I was so not expecting to see that when I refreshed the page.

    Edit. now I've just seen what you've written on facebook and now I officially have tears in my eyes.

    Munchki - I think when you look at a post on facebook there is a little linky you can click to share it. It will show up on the news feed of your friends.
    At least I think thats how it works.
    Also if anyone feels like sharing my blog anytime - I'd be more than grateful although I realise its a bit of a narrower field. But if you don't ask..........

    EBAY ALERT !!!
    Thanks for that - no wonder they've told me I've got to upgrade to a business account! But that was over a week ago - why don't they make these announcements first? They've obviously found they're losing money on the 99p listings! Bl***y Ebay!
    Anyway I'll upgrade, I suppose, and try to really start a business (not sure what yet!) and then open another private account for my household junk and only list on that on free listing days! Got nothing listed at the mo - first time since April last year! But going to sort it all when I get back from Easter holiday.
    I've actually sold a book on Amazon today:eek: (profit of £2.26 - woohoo!) it's only the 5th one I've sold since the beginning of October - I've got about 80 books listed and sales are non-existent. I have 3 boxes of books getting in the way on my landing (don't have a spare room) and I'm considering delisting all my 1p priced books and taking them to the charity shop - just fed up with them hanging around.
    Have a nice Easter all - hugs to all those who need them - and there seem to be a few!
    How will I ever catch up when I get back after a week away?:rotfl:

    Mrs Money - hope you have a lovely holiday. You have been through a lot lately and I know its still ongoing so hope the break is a little oasis of relaxation for you.
