    Part of the Furniture
    New customers starting to respond to the direct mail :) And I've done 3 things off my to do list that I'd been avoiding cos they were boring. Feel much better now they are out of the way.
  • Ah, that's good 2Cats.
    I need a to do list, but I'm not sure what I need to do.
    Daily life, which is hard enough, lol, and then making new stock which I am in the process of doing, and working on either improving the website or promotion, but I'm clueless on both.
    Prrffttt.

  • Hey folks - still really tired today. Same symptoms as I had before, to do with my surgery. Usually only last a day or two, hope so cos I don't want it to mess up my trip. I really need this time off to recharge my energy and return refreshed to the challenge.
  • Funny, I posted late last night and it isn't there ... blummin puter as knackered as me I reckon, keeps freezing ... grrrr.
  • Where are you going Amber?
    (Sorry, terrible memory and foggy head)
    I hope you feel better soon x

    UK, to see family. Nowhere near you, alas.
  • Damn, that sucks :(

    At the moment we have the added bonus of volcanic ash floating around, and a really cold and gloomy day :P

    Amber, sorry you're not feeling well, hope you feel better in time for your trip!
    hhonlyfan, well done :) are you going to put the money saved into your 10K fund?
    MrsMoney, I think it was you, thank you so much for the tip-off about the interview thing, I've got an appointment! Woopadywoopwoop :j
    I was supposed to sell my brother's unwanted mobile upgrade - nokia 6700 = for him a while ago but I smashed my own phone and asked him if I could have the 6700 and sell my upgrade for him when I got one. Now I'd like to get a different plan and drop to £20/month, which I could get on vodaphone with 600 mins and unlimited texts, and quidco are doing £90 cashback, which seems like a really good deal; I just need to get at least £100 for this 6700 now! Am thinking ebay but not sure if it's best, dunno what else though...
    I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @ss.... and I'm all out of bubblegum.
  • Have you checked the phone recycle sites?
    I'm not sure if they pay out as high as £100, but it's worth a check. How old is it?

    I did, it's only errrr, four months old? The best paying one is £80 quid but they have a bad reputation? think I might be able to do better on ebay as have found one that went for £115, just need to think what to start it on xx
