    :T:T

    I'm proud to be a dribbler - with the constant support throughout the year I think we (the dribblers!) have all achieved so much and got through so much .

    So I second Jo. :D

    Yay for the Dribblers...or should that be hurray!!!? :rotfl:


    Well done on making your start Guesty! TBH not many of us actually started with anything never mind £100, so you have already done well.

    Here is some advice. If your pierced ears have nearly closed over, do NOT put cheap plastic-fronted earrings in to keep them open until you find some proper rings. I now have actual holes in my lobes (and not the stretched kind) after having to dig out chunks of mank from the festering wound that my earlobe has become.
    ...on the bright side, today I will be mostly rummaging! lol.
    Elly, tell them it's affected your sex life and caused problems in your marriage, see if you can get something more out of them! Am seriously loving the name Anal Plug for a duck.
    Amber, isn't it time for a new thread? :) xx
    I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @ss.... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

    Thanks Jo..... are you telepathic? struggling today, trying to carry on but emotions seem to keep catching me up. Sounds like your ducks are settling in, must be strange for them, but they will soon realise that they have a good home with you!! Sound like my kind of visitors!!

    Elly that made me laugh soo much.
    DHs dad married a mexican woman living in this town with her daughter.after a few years they decided to move over to mexico and have been their ever since. will be lovely to see them.
    oh Nixi its one of those times where I wish we could do real life hugs and cups of tea with biscuits. No idea what is going on for you but know its a big one. be kind to yourself and remember emotional , non-productive days are absolutely ok and probably necessary sometimes. hug hug hug hug hug hug hug hug hug hug xxx

    Morning all,
    Rosie – Yay!!! So happy to hear the news about your OH great stuff hon so happy xxx

    Cagne and Toots – Belated birthday wishes! xxxx
    :bdaycake::bdaycake:

    Nikki – Boo about the car insurance that is a bit carp.

    Jo – Hope that you are feeling better my lovely. Ouch your poor neck. Also saw the duck update on facebook – your making me wish I had some urban ducks. But, we have loads of foxes around our way, I know that they wouldn’t be safe, and we a had a fox set at one stage under our shed.

    Nix – blooming marvellous about the 3K well done you x (and OH :D )
    Paula – hope you are sorted website wise I was going to cosign and say Go Daddy or One.com or Bluehost.com

    Bingo – cosigning with the lovely Jo, Nixi and Paula – don’t know what I would have done with out your support you lovely dribblers and the rest : D you are all aces.

    Hope we are feeling good today – I am quite happy checked my blog figures and it has been a great turnaround after falling by 80% in google analytics, the blog is now at +2% in traffic and I am getting a very good average of visitors per day again.

    I am putting together a marketing plan for the rest of the year, and I am getting back onto making a to do list and action plan for the launch party and also working on press releases and the rest (waves at Nixi).

    After the networking last week feel really buzzed and happy about meeting more people. Also, if you have the chance, I had a read of Look Magazine, if you have a few spare pennies it is worth buying as they have a focus on networking groups (sorry boys) for women.

    I have had really great feedback from the networking and it is something that I am very focused on meeting up more often.
    Other than that courier picked up the giveaway package yesterday.

    And although my main focus is weddings I am pledging to finish up my general graphic design portfolio. The husband is away for a hockey tournament over the weekend so this will allow for plenty of time to sort out the rest.
    I have a few other bits in the pipeline – but I will share once they are up and running. I am going to have a look at the commitments that the lovely Hales had for me on the other Dribblers thread and go through that list and see where I am. But, I predict it being a coffee and redbull fuelled weekend of doing and lazing around.

    I have something pretty good and I need to focus on getting it out there : D

    Hope that you all had an amazing day also I have made £22.50 on daily scratch yays !
