    And I want to run away to the circus :)

    I'd better make up the spare room then. The clowns here will be pleased.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    This is not lostinrates but her DH. Her computer has a virus, she didn't want to leave everyone in limbo over Dog-Dog, who had an operation today. Dog-Dog is ok but she wasn't allowed home tonight. Lostinrates will be back on line nex week.

    Thank you for the update, foundinrates. I'm glad to hear Dog-Dog (and lir herself of course) are OK. Best wishes to the computer for a speedy recovery.

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    Give our love to LIR, and get-well-soon wishes to both patients, Dog-Dog and computer.

    I was wondering where LIR was. Must have been an ordeal for dog-dog if she isn't allowed home yet. Glad to hear she's okay! Hope the computer is sorted quickly - things must be pretty quiet in that house tonight :o

    I need to de-PC my house - when my laptop wouldn't boot I had another PC in the bedroom (drives the TV), a netbook, an old nokia tablet or a couple of smart-phones, and if all those failed I could go and use one of the PCs in the kids room or even have to go downstairs to use the main file server PC...
    I think....

    The netbook is 'borrowed' from work - the laptop is a 5 year old refurb which cost 250 which 5 years ago was well cheap. The PCs are all self built from cheap or ebay bits the most expensive is 3 years old HUKD which was 170 after cashback and quidco, the monitors were hukd deals or refurbs, most expensive was £70. Phones were either max price £70 on PAYG or free on contracts that were also free after cashback. You couldn't get the cheapest new Mac or iPhone for the total outlay.

    I think I just found my "next big thing". It's what I do ... seek my "next big thing". These are things I can do to generate an extra £1000/year... but this one's got more potential. I'm all excited. I think this could be ... my biggest next big thing to date. A random set of events lead me to it.

    I've just tweeted it and had 13 clicks so far.... so now need to add it across my sites.... and see what happens. *fingers crossed*. It should be worth at least £200-500/month... I hope. Need to get onto my host, see how I can mail out to my 35,000 double opt in members :)
