    Bookie - I love you dearly and I know things are tough but you need to go and find some PMA before you drive yourself nuts!

    Thanks - that was my gut instinct too.
    So desperate to earn more money - any ideas?

    Right

    just a random list

    Dog walking
    gardening/shopping for the elderly?
    babysitting
    e bay
    offering to do people's accounts?
    preloved (selling)
    Green met (for books)
    Boot sale

    I am not sure this will help Bookie, its just some ideas.

    Edited to add - It must have been tough at the funeral sorry I wasn't posting that day, but I did think of you. We all believe in you ok. xxxx

    Not exactly. Its really daft that I am getting so upset. I just need to face my fear and go do it. REALLY. Stop nancying around like a big prat and LIVE MY LIFE.

    Bookie, if you're interested in the ebay thing then people on the ebay board here will be able to help you out on how to make a profit. There's someone on the NTN thread (3Dogs) who makes money from buying at auctions and car boots and reselling at car boots and ebay.

    Gemmzie, I hope they sold for something at least fairly reasonable.

    I'm back from the doctors, my ecg was fine, my blood pressure's fine, but I need routine blood tests. Why they couldn't do it at the same time as my ecg I don't know. It's appointments like that though that make me lose motivation to lose weight - it's obviously not affecting my body. But I have to keep reminding myself that it's not affecting it *yet* and soon will.

    Went to get my prescriptions and there were people handing out free bottles of Liptons Iced Tea, I can't stand it but my sister loves it so she can have it. Funnily enough I nearly ordered her some last night on my Sainsbury's shop for the weekend.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Hope you're ok Buffy.

    Bookie - What sort of hours are you able to do to fit in around your current stuff? All the shops will be looking for Christmas temps soon.

    Well I've walked for 4 miles, cleared out the utility room, sorted all the indoor plants, sorted the washing, hoovered all through downstairs, put the shopping away, loaded the dishwasher and put some stuff in the shed.

    Aside from making dinner, that's me done for the day, my glands in my neck are up and screaming at me to rest.....so rest for a while I shall.
