From Trash to Cash: the Dribbling never ends

Rosie

Morning everyone. The sun is shining here but still cold.

Nixi so sorry to hear your news. (big hugs)

Hello everyone - been away from the computer all weekend just about - so I'm never going to catch up now!

Nixnixi- sorry to hear your sad news - doesn't matter how long it is since we've seen a person - to hear they've died in such sad circumstances is always distressing. But you have a happy memory of him, which has stayed with you for years and may bring comfort in a note to his family at some point.

Went to Weald of Kent Craft Show at Penshurst Place, Kent on Saturday - lovely -nice atmosphere, great food and lovely things to look at and the rain mostly held off apart from a few light showers.. What struck me most was that there was no hand knitting or patchwork and many of the craft items really could only be categorised as "ornamental" - I always think it's good if a beautifully made item can have a use (jewellery, a crochet blanket, knitted jumper etc etc). I have no more room in my small house for something, however beautiful, that has no function. Pity.
Anyway- have sold 6 new DVDs over the weekend and a huge photography book (all on Amazon). Am in the process of (slowly) listing around 400 classical music CDs that were my FIL's. It ocurred to me that I can't have too many listed at once - can you imagine how difficult it would be to search through 4 boxes of CDs - just looking for the one you have just sold?:rotfl:

PS what's a mini move???????

Thank you Rosie and Mrs Money. A bit shocked really.

A mini move is like a mini challenge - Jo's fab idea! She is going to suggest a mini challenge for each day that will help us focus and achieve our £10k targets. Yesterday's challenge was to save £1, which we could add to our total, and todays is.....hold on I'll find Jo's link as she is much better at explaining than me.....I'll be back!

I'm back - here is the link: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=32448099&postcount=4170

Sorry don't know how to do a posh short one!!

So sorry to hear that Nixi!

Ive done my mini challenge for the day - and god I have a lot to do.

Of the 89 affiliates we added into our system, 5 were a match for the previous system. Meaning I have in excess of 140 affiliates to put into the new system (which is a time consuming process but from what I know this will definately earn revenue as the old system has been earning a steady income for the past 2 1/2 years without so much as me making any changes!

Morning all,

I have been in and out of the thread lurking this weekend, instead of a mega post I ended up giving lots of thanks instead. As for me, nice relaxing weekend – got quite a bit done. Still finishing bits off on the website Mabel – but nearly at the finish line. And I know what you mean with projects Mabel– I get so excited by new projects that sometimes I lose focus on the old one.

Jo – I love the mini move by the way. Saving a pound a day – well at the start of the dribbling I started making my own lunch. Central London is like urban food robbery average decent lunch is about £4 per day. So, since January – I have been making a pack lunch and making sure I eat a large breakfast. My daily spend for both breakfast and lunch is now about £2.50 per day.

NLID – I can only do it as I am a borderline design psychopath. I am seriously addicted to graphics, my life’s obsession lol! I tried emailing you again – gonna PM you in a bit.

Also, the new ready made invitation range is going really well too. I have designed 2 invations of the weekend. I just have an invitation suite to finish off completely, and there are some other invitations that I am going to play around with too. Really excited about it all. I also decided to add some ready made wedding sites into the range. I have 4 templates to complete and I have given my self another two weeks to get things finished off. I hope to have samples ready to got later on this week. And then I will need to the lovely Nixi. (I am going to PM you later on today, as I want to get your site sorted.)

Also Nixi, I almost forgot to add my condolences too xxx (((hugs)))
[FONT=&quot]Oh, that did turn into a long post after all LOL!

Waves to missing dribblers too including MMTWGR, Saucy, Amber! (I know that there are more - but I am very old and it is very early in the morning lol!)

Sorry to hear about your friend Nixi that is awful :-( Thanks for sending off the stuff to the mag in advance!!

nixinixi

Dilli - can't wait to hear from you!!! Excited for me and you!! and thank you!

NLID - I am intrigued by your websites which generate you income, can you share how you do it......either on here or a pm would be fab. I would love to be able to create some affliate websites that could generate me an income...... any pointers you can give would be fab as it is over my head at the moment.

Mabel - I am printing the pics as we speak!!! :j
Thank you - I feel really sorry for the family.

Okay...life jobs done...took way longer than I wanted but heyho...

I have decided on my mini movr for today. I am going to try to plan a strategy for ebay rather than just listing everything at once.

I will pop back later once I have written it!!
