    Have to have conversations on here, he doesn't reply to emails!

    Thats very possibly my ebay issue, but I don't really know what to do about it! I'd love to drop ebay but we need the money too much.

    I reply to all emails I receive. And yesit is the petrol one :p
    I'll sort out t'other thing tonight, and remind me to deal with paypal too.
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    Congrats Swintsie! hope you've not been too stressed with the house buying process!!
    Sorry to hear about the ants Cinny, sounds like you've got them under ccontrol. What's wrong with greg?

    Dinah it's a shame youve been blocked from Ebay but I must say - i get really annoyed when I don't get things I buy after a reasonable amount of time!
    Also love it that you communicate over this thread! so wierd but also quite cute!!
    Hope the 5 things list goes ok today.

    I've not been up to much really, trying to work hard but my heads not in the game :( I just got a new mpg app though which I am planning on using - filled my car up today and the cost totally made me wince! I'm trying to sort myself out but since I got paid recently I seem to have let my bank balance run away with me :(

    I have set myself a monthly May challenge though to geet up to £20 from my reviews on DY but to be honest it is harder than I thought it would be! I'm getting there think I've got about 9000 miles but we're over halfway on the month so I will need to work on it!
    If anyones got some old reviews on there, I've been posting mine onto ciao as for may, theres a 15p per review bonus for each review. I know its not much esp when my car is running at 15p/mile (ouch! was about 10p/mile a year ago!) but I keep trying!!

    I've also had some really good carboot sale bargains recently so top tip I always also see loads of baby things when I go to them so it might be worth a look for some of you!

    Anyways I know I haven't posted in a while but I've been reading. That hotel looks lush CMD - hope you had a good time!
    and I hope poppy and you get a better night sleep tonight Wendz!

    NIM in terms of registering as self employed, all i know if that you have to do it within 3 months of starting, and then keep all reciepts etc because there will be chargeable expenses which you can offset against tax i.e. petrol, parking etc.

    I'll try to post more often!! Sorry!!

    Well that went badly! Didn't get to bed until after 10:30 either.

    So tonights list
    [STRIKE]Do MS report[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Reply to designer[/STRIKE] Holding email sent, I need a good hour to get a proper one done.
    Wrap remaining parcels
    [STRIKE]Update MSE signiture totals[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Do court issues list again[/STRIKE]

    I might give up soon. There are never enough hours in the day. There are still 3 parcels to do but none are urgent, only sold on Monday after 10pm so sending Thursday should be okay. Especially since the one that sold on Monday only made £0.71 and I have to get postage out of that!!!

    Pssh, I'm always doing the lurker on your thread!

    The Ant Man has been! He's also a mole, and fox killer :eek: I get the fox part, but moles seem too wombly to do any harm to anyone! Came with his Ladylove and was done in about 20 minutes. Was only £45, and no ants this morning! Though I'm not allowed to clean the floors for 7-10 days :eek:

    That's crazy about your car mileage Tink! I wouldn't like to work mine out, but I've been granny-driving recently and got his MPG up to 40.9 which I'm quite pleased with. And it's just his brake pads, we can get them cheap from a supplier and my Cousin was a mechanic in the army so I can bribe him with cakes to fit them :D

    Hi Tink, nice to hear from you! Good luck with the Dooyooing, I've not been on in ages, should really get back in the game! I might have to take your advice about posting reviews onto Ciao too! :)

    Yay to the ant-free house Cinny! I think you'd feel differently about the moles once they've come and wrecked your garden, although I'm not sure I'd want them killing, more like relocating to someone's garden who I don't like! ;)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Moles dig up gardens Cinny, and in extreme cases have been known to do numbers on house foundations with their wild diggings.

    I hate ants, I moved out of a flat when I was a student as the landlord refused to sort out the extreme ant issue. I assumed it must cost hundreds to sort out, not £45!!!
