    totally agree with everyone else NLID - read the post and jesus that was a toy throwing moment. Seems to be a lot of support for your site and i truely believe this could do you well. Although on the other thread i did notice the comment about eby going after you because of the name. This actually happened to a friend many years ago when trying to create a site so please be wary about it. Ebay has a funny way of working

    I had already been thinking that as well. - need to get the new logo sorted for the new domain I purchased today but once that is sorted.

    NLID - they are comparing you to goofbay and also worried about signing up for a free trial..... need to work out why you are better and worth money compared to goofbay, and also address why you are getting them to sign up for a free trial. I don't mean stop doing it but they seemed to think it could be because you were going to sell email addys...so need to make it clear that you aren't etc etc

    Just another thought on this NLID - put up a big disclaimer about data protection etc and that you value all of your customers privacy! I am a bit of a DP guru it would seem, so I have been told this week at work. Here I thought I was only the lowly temp!

    Hey all,
    Apologies for the massive post I have M.I.A the last few days I have honestly felt really worn out. I have also been swallowing day nurse like pick and mix as I have had a stinking cold. I thought that having a 5 day weekend would be great but it has been hijacked by the other half who took a days leave yesterday; and a sick day half of today as he has developed a special illness that affects his glands but still enables him to play playstation.

    I have spent the last couple days cleaning and thinking; the two seem to go hand in hand and I had the following epiphanies:
    I am doing too much to carry our household and have allowed my husband to behave like a child instead of a husband. Although I am a nurturing person, a bit of tough love is required it is not acceptable in a relationship of equals to behave like a mother when my role is to be a wife and best friend.

    I am terrified of succeeding, I have got so used to failing; that the more I achieve on this challenge the more scared I get. This is the furthest I have ever got with an idea, and I am fighting to keep believing. Also, I am so used to climbing – I don’t think I can accept not struggling. I need to believe that I deserve to achieve.

    Dilli, this is one thing I can relate to 150%!!! I still struggle and probably even more so now that things are slowly improving in my life. I am scared to properly launch my business, or to make quillows or do a host of other things as I feel like I have had so much failure over the past 2 years and just cant bare the thought of more. Yes, I know just about all that happened to me was out of my control, but unfortunately my mind does not see it in the same light at times. I am endeavoring to take back control of my life and rebuild and live it my way and yes that means i am going to have to take the plunge in some areas, whether scared or not!
    I made it! Flight left on time, no problems at all. Hope I get back fine!

    Ohhhh Amber, I so wish I could get down london way......heheeh too bad you cant get up this way....you could help me unpack!!
    I am somebody. I am me. I like being me. And I need nobody to make me somebody! Louis L'Amour

    Evening all,

    I'm not going to get into the whole cally thing, other than to say I miss having her around and I appreciate the help offered by her re seo, affiliates, blogging and the p&p spreadsheet. If she is still reading this thread I hope she knows that some of us do still think of her and wish her well and good luck in her future ventures.
    I don't say that to rub anyone up the wrong way either, anyone who does not feel the same way as me that is their perogative and I don't hold anything against them and would hope they don't have bad feelings towards me for my thoughts on the matter.
    I know that each of us have our own reasons for being here and if at times I don't feel like posting I won't and if I ever feel I no longer wish to stay a dribbler then I won't but thankfully for me I don't feel like that right now, and even though conversations go on here I don't take part in, ideas are shared amongst some that I'm not involved in and I rarely get a PM from anyone damn, come to think of it I've just relalised you all hate me really - well tough, I need you all in my life right now. Each and every one of you.
    You contribute to my daily life, whether that be a simple smile by a humourous post or some fantastic advice which leads to an idea which in turn leads to a potential revenue stream or even as a listening group for my ramblings.
    I know that may sound corny as reality is we are all virtual friends and without you life would still go on but amongst the madness and dribble here I find peace.
    Now what's all this about a party for Munchki ? If there's karaoke, I'm in. Put me down for money for nothing :-)
    Would like to: Retire at 54. 19yrs .Clear mortgage by 50. 16yrs. Clear Secured debts by 43. 8yrs.Clear Unsecured debt by 39. 4yrs. Gain full control of my finances by 36. 1yr.Keep my head above water. Today.

    Awwww Cagne we luvs ya!! Just glad youre feeling better. I think we dribblers have got past the pointless arguments now, just make our point and move on so everyones opinion is valid! We've managed politics and religion without arguments lol.

    The gardening programme is good but I'm finding the woman a bit annoying!
