    Cross posted with you Kec, but glad you see you're still around MSE. I was going to pm you, but didn't want to put you under any pressure. We are here if you need us, and I respect that you need time.

    Just do a bit at a time, it's hard to stay focused when things are bad. We'll be here, when the time is right for you.

    Forgot to say hi DDraig. I would love to see what you are doing. Come on - get that camera out girl!!! LOL. Rufus' shop on folksy is up and running, and looks brill. You should go and pop over there, you might be able to sell some of your stuff too.

    Mum2one hope tomorrow goes well, and miss hoodie is not upset in any way by it. I bet you will be relieved when it is all done.

    Kec keep posting. It will give you something to do hon. Be gentle on yourself.


    I'm about to call it a night. I wrote a DY review, and then copied one over to ciao, and made a sugestion so another review should go on tomorrow.

    I've also referred a friend to ciao.

    Night all. Sleep tight x

    well thats 2 more guides done so going to give my brain a rest now haha Need to have a look through tomorrow and find what I can write the other 2 on. Might try and get them done tomorrow too!

    Glad to see you popping back on Kec. Please try and eat and look after yourself and as Elysia says, we are all here whenever you want us :D

    Kec so glad you popped on to let us know you are ok but you really need to try and eat sweetheart. That in itself will make you feel worse.

    mum2one thinking of you all today, hope that it goes ok.

    Well I have just done my first guide and it was a lot easier than I expected. Going to go and do some more now and hope that they are ok. So if anyone else is unsure go for it. Believe it or not once you start they don't seem such a huge task. Thanks Elysia for the push to have a go.

    Take care all

    Morning everyone

    Well done all of you with the guides, you have been working hard. I am pushed for time today as meeting my friend this afternoon for a chat so will just stick to T this morning.

    Kec - nice to see you on here again, we are all thinking of you, well done on doing the baking, its a start to get back to some kind of normality again.

    I have updated my home page with a link to my new shop (sounds posh lol) hopefully it will inspire some of you to do the same. I have put some pics of some of the things on the blog too. Hope they dont mind me linking to my shop on there, cant see anything that says you cant and it lets you add links. Couldnt find out how to put a logo or anything like that so just the link. I am sure I have seen links to shops on other blogs with logos but hoping someone on there will comment and let me know some hints and tips.

    Have MIL coming for the weekend I think so wont get much done now till Monday.

    Just editied to add: Not that sure how to promote the shop apart from just telling everyone about it but I have made up a new face book account with links on it just for the shop so if anyone fancies adding me and posting a link on theirs would you pm me please? Never know your luck.

    Well I have found 2 more things I can write guides on so going to try and get them done now. :D. I wonder when the first payment will be made? Would be great to have it banked by the end of the month, it would really boost this months totals!

    Rufus: Wow those cushions are STUNNING! They would make a perfect moving in present for someone that has a new home. Make sure you keep us updated on how you get on with your sales :D. In terms of advertising it, a facebook fanpage seems to be the best form of free advertisement.

    DDraig - you'll be fine - you can edit it before it gets read. It'll take a couple of minutes to alter it and add a few links. You'll be fine.

    Ddraig : Mine kind of alternate between reviews/comparisons. The way I see it when you are 'reviewing it' if you are saying whats bad or good about it compared to others then you are making a comparison. Hope I have done it right :S. If its wrong it says it will be returned for editing so you will be given the chance to alter it. I have just finished my 5 (1 has been published) so think I will wait and see if the other 4 get published and if not I will edit them.

    Grr I never get anything on OP and when I do I get screened out because I have no children haha And nothing on Viva for me yet, grrr only need £1 more for my next redeem! Really want to get it this week hehe

    Well its my brothers birthday today (24, eek makes me feel OLD!) so think I best get some housework done ready for visitors later! Luckily his GF is coming round to make abit of a buffet so I dont have to worry about that this year.
