Thanks Skint - just the type of thing I am after!! Though thing I need to get some orders in first before I order any lol! Wouldn't have thought about zip-locs....aren't they pretty expensive?? Hope you made the most of you and mad spaniel time!! I keep thinking that one day I will get a bike.... will be a summer/spring thing though, you are brave getting one at this time of year.... hope your OH puts it together soon. xx

Still in my pyjamas Skint.lol. done very little today and slowly feeling less like jelly but keep going hot and cold. Wish I could have a few days of doing nothing but not possible plus I'm already feeling stressed about what I've not done because of feeling poorly.
No drinking for me tonight but looking forward to it all the same!
fajita sounds great. Now I'm hungry all over again!
got to go help DD on club Penguin!

jo - it will still all be there for you to do tomorrow or the next day and the world wont come to an end! make a wee list and tackle it one thing at a time (leave it lying where o/h can see it) then when you do one thing on it -its less of a thought to do the rest either that hit the OVD black rum and crabbie's greenginger that'll sort you out one way or another and you wont give a monkey's chuff about what you need to do! seriously hope you feel a bit better tomorrow.

nixi - what about these works out 7 or 8p each or even the sandwih bags that have the little lip/foldover bit?

Lol skint. the rum sounds perfect!
Nixi if you look at skints link under eco party bags you can buy the brown bags in smaller packs of 10 I think so may be worth getting a couple of packs and some plastic ones for your books from there so you combine P&P?
Then when your orders start coming in you can buy more to meet demand. Any you don't use you can always decorate with kids using stickers or potato/sponge prints and use as christmas gift bags for family.

lol Jo - great minds think alike, I had wondered about using any I don't use for my two to draw on for gift bags lol!

I suppose I am reticent because I go into everything with such enthusiasm and have a very bad habit of not carrying on, even OH has commented that I will prob give up in a few weeks...grrrr! Dropped first books out today, used Sandwich bags but they are fractionally too small, but couldn't find any which were the right size. Avon do sell there own plastic bags for the books at 80p for 50 so think I will get those when I put my orders in and just use dodgy sandwich bags for those now, but will have a look at the eco party bags.

And Jo, Skint is right - don't worry about the jobs, they will wait - whereas your health won't!! Relax and ignore the jobs - honest they will wait!

Nixi,
now is the pefect time to be enthusiastic about it. perfect time of year for it and if you make a profit running up to christmas and then drop it thats not really a problem if its made money for you. Or you might just love it and keep going. either way I think its a good move at a good time. Go girl!
