    I apologize in advance for the numbness of this post, and for not reading back. Puppy has heart failure. He was given six months. I can't believe it.

    Got accepted onto a new course today too, one I applied for but never believed is get a place on and.forgot about. I'm so numb. I just cry, and cry. I feel empty.


    Oh Saucy.... I am so sorry to hear that. Give him lots of snuggles and take your time. I wish I could be with you.

    Afternoon everyone.

    I'm another 2lb lighter, YAY!!! no idea how though as had a pretty bad week.
    How's all the other dribble diets going?
    My bike is up to £245, 71 watchers and 1day 8 hours left to go.

    EDIT: Just caught up. PaulaB - Well done on your 13lbs gone, so close to a stone. Next week hun.x
    Mambury - I agree with others, you have enough on now to not be bogged down with another job.
    Nixi - sounds good about your PR opportunity.

    thanks Cagne.... I guess you are all right. I was really only applying for the job to ease the pressure off OH, but there are no jobs here for him anyway.

    Well done on the bike! Here's for a last minute rush ...

    Thanks for the kind words all. Really happy about the client he liked the invites and I have just been paid!

    M&P – hugs it sounds like you had one hell of a night!

    Mambury – No point in having money if you don’t enjoy making it, don’t take on more than you need I say this as the Grand High Puba of biting off more than I can chew. Too late glad you have made a decision.

    Nixi – great news about the PR woo & hoo!

    Saucy – I am so sorry to hear about the puppy. Big hugs to you both. xxx

    Cagne – well done on the weight loss. Good on you!

    Fantastic news Dilli!!! Well done!!

    Do you need to make yourself up a standard letter that you put in with your samples/designs stating your terms and conditions - e.g 50% deposit is required.... that way you don't have to remember and I find that once you have produced a terms and conditions it is easier to do as you are then consistent in what you ask for. I think we find it hard to ask for money but our customers are expecting to pay, so we need to make it easy for them to pay us!

    Thanks - just hope she calls, if nothing else I now can see someone elses website etc and see how she is doing, which apparently is really well!!

    Cagne - well done on the weight loss and thank you for my blog comment!

    Right back to the ironing :(

    Spam warning,

    anyone with a domain name, be aware that you might recieve an email from a company called asiadm. I've just recieved one. It read:

    Dear CEO,

    We are an organization specified at dealing with domain name dispute and registration in Asia. We have something important need to confirm with your company.


    On May 12 2010, we received an application formally. One company named "Hiasiatw Investment Co.,Ltd" wanted to register following
    Domain names:

    *****.asia
    *****!!!!
    *****.com.cn
    *****.hk
    *****.tw
    *****.us
    Internet Name:
    *****

    through our body.

    After our initial examination, we found that the keywords and domain names applied for registration are as same as your company's name and trademark. These days we are dealing with it. If you do not know this company, we doubt that they have other aims to buy these domain names. Now we have not finished the registration of Hiasiatw Investment Co.,Ltd yet, in order to deal with this issue better, Please contact us by telephone or email as soon as possible.


    Best Regards,
    Leather

    I did a search on whois and found the domain name is registered to a company called sk holdings company limited, a quick search on google came up with this.

    although I know you will all probably just ignore emails like this, I just wanted to make you aware of it incase you did get one.
    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.
