Faye unchorfunately they've put those horrid lines through them so not really :mad:
They got in those photographers that do the whole "old style" dress up scenario. I am thinking of just using the difference between what I get from HIPG and whats owing on my studio account to pay for maybe two or three poses. His biological dad hasnt seen him since his birthday last year so it would be nice to send him at least one-as its his last year at nursery. And my parents havent seen him since his first birthday and he'll be four in June

Well - I've finally done it and made some cards and put them in local shops advertising my services - as a personal tutor (times aren't quite that desperate yet!)
Who knows, I may get a little bit of interest as its runs up to GCSE time?
Apparently the going rate is £30 an hour (according to the teaching unions) but I think I'll do it on a case by case basis from £20-£25 - might get a small word of mouth effect that way?
If all goes well I can put up prices next year?

Have pondered starting a tuition business if a suitable teaching job doesn't materialise. Hmmmm - we'll see......Would be nicer than teaching a class of 30 charming 15 year olds that don't want to be there!

Sorry me again!
Have to tell someone!
I have a bid at the reserve price of £50 on my ebay item!!!!:j:j
There's still 4 days to go so hopefully it will rise but if not at least someone wants it - it's been in a drawer for about 6 years:D
Its like having a pot of cash that I forgot about - I may be a convert.
Might have to have a think and see if there's anything else that's worth anything that I just don't want. Exciting!

My aim is to make £120 to pay the CC bill this month - I may just do it you know!

Sorry for being excited - I know its quite sad!

Rachel, do you have the box for your Montblanc pen? If not I have one you can have, you might get more for it! I bought sort-of-OH one but the pen got stolen so we just have the box.

Thats a shame - I did have a laugh though at 'biological dad' my kids father is definitely a father of the 'non-biological' variety - I think he's one of the living dead - nothing with a pulse could be so ungrateful and unhelpful!

*peedie rant over*

Rachel - well done

Glad it wasn't just 'me' that read it 'that' way - personal services and all that :rotfl:

Hi folks, its my day off today and i had a lot planned but I have a shocking head so have rearranged / cancelled.
DD got a new cream from dermatologist, put it on for the first time last night but woke up at 2am with burning , think it an allergic reaction so got her in shower to scrub it off - waiting for GP to ring now with advice.

Today I have / will :

• checked online banks - no change, payday in 8 days
• meal from stores / plan borritos for tea and need to stretch 2 servings to 3
• rare NSD
• HC x1 - dry on airer , we have no sun and it is cold still waiting to go on airer
• cath up on sky + brain now mush
• Pack ebay parcel that should have gone today , now going tommorow still not done this !
• Quick tidy round emptied bins , thats about it
• Surveys - £1.50 so far
• Competitions done the itv ones , might go back and do the dailys
• Not going out now so saving £15

Have been offered a small , nearly new tumble dryer for free. It will come in handy for emergencies and winter but a little worried about running costs. If i hide it in my spare bedroom i might forget about it

Struggling to get off sofa i'm afraid, think its time to open the wine
