    Mabel hon, why not used some really nice wrapping paper or wallpaper samples that was how I did my backgrounds for my website.

    MummyandPaige - you have my full sympathy. The OH told me that he only wanted a trophy wife not an entrepreneur and I was basically there to be an ornament. And, that I want it all and I need to accept that I can't have it all. He delivered the best line ever which I still mock him for:

    "Look at this, Look at me - I deserve adulation" :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Really, he is a legend in his own mind - I think I blanked him for about a week. I still pull that one out of the bag when I need to put him in his place. Mummy, just keep on going. You are doing marvellous so far so just ignore him and then wave your 10K cheque in front of him at the end of the year x


    OMFG!!! he said what???!!!!! that is hysterical!!:rotfl:

    wrapping paper is a great idea for backgrounds-I just need something to display the (you know whats) on so people know what they are! might just look like an escaped hamster on a bit of wrapping paper otherwise!!
    I've also got another idea in the making that i'll need a display mannequin for anyway so wont be completely useless :-)

    Okay, Myspace problem sorted. It wasn't the email address, in spite of what Myspace was telling me. Grrr. Now, do I need to keep updating them or can I just leave them be?

    o - anyone who is around, I am stuck on a word for describing the bride to be that Mabels new collection targets...... my thoughts are (but these are wrong)

    discerning
    adventurous
    modern
    mysterious
    romantic
    daring

    Hi Nixi ***big wave*** I feel like we have been ships passing in the night lately. I always seem to be off when you are online. How has the writing been going?

    Mabel - I wouldn't worry - if people are shopping for a merkin, trust me they will have a pretty good idea of how it should ahem go. Sorry, just the idea of it being on a model/mannequin is hysterical. I keep having flashing images in my head.
