    Bl**dy h*ll didn't expect to see that when I refreshed.lol.
    Bingo we should warn you that the chat part is as strong as ever and often strays into discussion about merkins and all sorts of other bizzare topics including ebay foot fetishes too. If you can hack it you are welcome as far as I am concerned.
    Hows life and 10k making gone for you so far?

    Yay, Bingo's back!

    Hi everyone, just calling in to say a quick hello. I've been skimming but not had time to post properly.

    Spent all day in the garden today - went out to do 15 mins deadheading the roses and ended up cutting back all the bushes and bagging 6 green sacks of garden rubbish! It was lovely though - my cats all came and helped, (for "helped" read "laid nearby me in the shade sleeping") and I feel as if I've had a very productive day whilst getting a bit of a tan! And to finish it nicely we had 15 minutes of downpour at about 5pm, so I didn't even have to water the garden. :p

    Foster cat and kits are doing really well. The grey one particularly is just adorable, but they both have really big eyes and are lifting their heads to look at me when I talk to them. Mum is lovely too, a real lap cat.

    I just read on one of the other threads that Quidco is in trouble and not paying out, has anyone else heard this? They owe me £130, so I'm praying it isn't true. I never depend on Quidco money, but it is nice for a treat and I've been looking forward to getting it. :cool:

    Paula, the cake toppers are absolutely fantastic. Stop beating yourself up girl, they will fly out!

    Nixi, sorry to hear life has given you a kick. Here's a virtual hug, and hope you are able to kick it right back soon.

    Jo, nice to see you back. I'd die if I didn't have internet access. I've been trying to wean myself off the laptop for the last week, but even when I'm rushed off my feet I always seem to gravitate back towards it as soon as I have a few minutes! I think I'm seriously obsessed.

    Ooh, and I forgot to mention, just received £19 from Taste Radar - bonus!! Definitely worth doing if you can be bothered to spend a couple of hours describing fruit and veg every month :p

    Joey it all sounds fab (except quidco) busy but fun. glad kittens and their mum are doing well.
    Tried to get on taste radar but never got a reply to my emails. might try again at some point if they are still recruiting.
    wow this glass of wine has gone straight to my head.lol

    Thanks for the vote of confidence......I've had a great year so far and have been very fortunate as far as my challenge.I have found it tough going for certain items and people / dealers in areas such as buying gold have reported very slim profit margins.People in general are being very cautious with their money,as you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know it is a tough market out there.
    With the market being tough for some,this opens up a vast area to monopolise on,and this is what I've done.It's still possible to find items for £1.00 and sell for £££'s....
    As it happens I'm on holiday this week and away until next Friday,but I'll be back and ready to pass on any info that comes to mind.Have a good week,keep smiling,look forward to making some serious money from now till Xmas.IT WILL HAPPEN !!! ;)

    Hehe! Wasn't expecting that! Hi Bing0, be interesting to find out what you've been up to.
    Jo, great you're back! And thanks, I tried to get the bride looking like she was in control and the groom looking sheepish lol, she's my friend from school, she's texting me atm to say he's out on his stag night and is being fed shots, she'll be collecting him around ten and have the bucket ready...not a big drinker lol!
    Joey, thanks, I seriously hope so! Cats sound lovely :)
    Nixi, I didn't see what had happened to you somehow so big hugs and hope you're feeling better?
    I think Taste Radar is the one I couldn't apply to because of region but I could be wrong...xx
    I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @ss.... and I'm all out of bubblegum.
