    Hi Jwil! :hello: Welcome to the board!
    Well, that didn't go according to plan! I got bored with knitting and it was a beautiful day so I bought a chocolate brownie and decided to sit in the market square and "people watch".

    Whilst sat there, I was approached by a researcher from our local BBC radio studio asking about the town. As conversations do, the chat wandered through all sorts of stuff, then I mentioned I was trying to set up a business making corsets. We spent the next 20 minutes taking about them and my business plans and now they want to do an article about me! :T

    That may have been the most important £1 chocolate brownie I've ever bought :D

    That is FAB!! I reckon you could include that in the "Make Money" thread!!! :T

    Hello to regulars and new posters :j

    Didn't manage to post yesterday as I had to attend an evening meeting for work and was shattered when I got back - still am, must be getting old :( - or most likely, did so some time ago :rotfl:

    Today I have / will:

    Posted ebay sale

    checked online banking

    Meals from stores - tonight I have got a sweet and sour thing that I made from pigs trotters and other bits out of the bottom of the freezer :eek: but it was Hugh Fearnley - Wotsit's recipe and he is usually reliable :) Wish me luck - it looks and smells ok. I put it back in the freezer when I made it, but have brought it out now :eek: It was actually really nice - a bit fatty, but ok as I just had a spoonful over a big pile of stir fried veg and a couple of Jersey Royals (funny mixture I know, but I am using up things out of the bottom of the fridge and it tasted nice!

    [STRIKE]Will walk small dogs and water plants in a minute[/STRIKE] done

    Will do some comps that I cut out of a magazine the other day and get them ready to send off (the ones that have to be posted that is)

    Will sort out cc payment - only £7 something

    Sold a book on Green Metropolis, so must print out the details and get it ready for posting tomorrow :D It is a recipe book,so will also look through it and copy out any recipes I want to keep (there may be one, not many or I wouldn't have put it up for sale).

    Better get on :eek:

    Have a nice evening everybody :T

    Oooh, I have never tried pigs trotters, but I would like to. Did you get them from the butchers?

    Don't feel I really did much today DFW wise but did have a productive day work wise, so my list is rather short!
    • Brought lunch and snacks to work
    • Availed of free tea
    • Had dinner from batch cooking
    • Posted off Ebay item
    • Checked online banking
    • Had my 5th NSD!

    That's it, I think!
