    lol wish I could do that Dilli - have to iron school uniforms and OH's shirts (I know he could do his own but he goes out to work so I can stay at home and do these jobs!) Also I could make life easy if I was quicker getting everything hung up from the tumbler but I have soooo much washing that I never seem to have time to do that...one day I will get organised

    Now I get hump day - I like it!! :D

    Nice to see you on here, are you at work today? Has it settled back down now?

    I do edigital mystery shopping (online stuff) hasnt been bad for the last 3 months but not much this month. Not good on the telephone so dont think I'd be any good at Lionbridge. god I'm on a downer this morning-ignore me! Just need to get off my !!!! and try listing some of those piggin scalextric cars on ebay again,will get OH to sort some out tonight. There sorted (if any actually sell) Going to take the dogs out for a walk before it starts piddling down again :-)
  • Hi everyone
    Getting a bit more sorted,dishwasher wasnt working.....the plumber blamed the joiner but someone had left the bung in the waste outlet and it broke the machine,having to wait in for men to come and fix it, losing hope now,they said they were coming between 8 and 10 and its quater to 10 now

    Have just dropped off DD for her first day at new school and she was really nervous, poor soul shes a quiet girl anyway and a worrier like her mum

    Giving up hope of making 10,000 unless I have a lucky lottery win, it just aint gonna happen
    Nothing is selling on etsy,ebay is a nightmare,I need to find some new way to make money,I love doing my paper crafts but no money to be made there
    I have dabbled in jewellery making,but a lot of people are doing it so you have to be good or very original in your design

    Got DGD here causing havoc,shes lovely and cute but a terror,she can open the doors here as well, could do with some peace to get on but her mum thinks I can deal with GD when shes here,also they are staying in the room where I work so Im struggling to get anything done....have applied for job at new look apparently there wanting more 'mature' people, how depressing being refered to as mature lol

    OH s getting on my nerves too...feeling a bit down...maybe anti climax after all the rushing about, all he seems interested in is getting internet on but unlimited for his gaming,also he annonced he needs £60 worth of geekery to get it streamed to his computer as wireless isnt good enough either, but has said DD carnt have sky, so just to suit him really he said he had put shelfs in linen cupboard for me , but when I went to put linen in all his comuter gump was neatly lined up on the shelfs.....funny that, as he doesnt put anything else away

    Well the dishwasher men havent appeared yet and its 3 mins to 10...suprise, suprise

    Morning all

    @MM - hope the day improves for you, I hate it when I wake up feeling miserable.
    @dilli well done on the client


    The party items I managed to buy last week are selling consistently which is good. I'm not sure I would be able to get more though which is a shame as I could do with finding something that sells well for a profit.
    Think I'll have a hnt around today.

    Nixi -I still remember to this day I said something that really peed off my mum she refused to do my ironing, so I started ironing from age 9!

    As for work, It all seems to be a bit more settled. It was just a crazy few weeks - I had problems with a website not working properly, trainees, then a last minute changes to jobs and such and then the invitations which I had to get reprinted it just all mounted up into a bit of a frenzy, and then the computer breaking at work. All settled now - although I bring in my laptop to get work done as the main PC is not fixed. No skin off my nose anyway it means all my files are in one place now :)
