    "Widget!" :rotfl: Seriously though, I hope you can take that step with the trading - once you've been brave enough to do it once maybe you'll trust yourself a bit more ;) Imagine earning £290 in half an hour...!

    Ooh! Thats all fairly emphatic :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Okay, I won't become a woman of the night :D

    Nor will I become a trader today, current job has *badly* interfered with the time I had available. Sometimes I really know why I don't want to do this so much anymore, apart from putting the dishwasher on, all I've been able to do is firefight :(



    EDIT - and you know what, s*d it, I'm going to have a second cup of coffee. Really strong :D:D:D

    Tbh once you start, even at a pound a point that trade would have been OK, although I guess that is a bigger trade than normal. That works out at 60 quid an hour!


    ETA: whenever people joke about 'risky' ways to earn money it reminds me of a joke my Dad told about a husband who told his wife 'there's nothing for it, you'll have to go on the game' I can't remember the rest of it but the punchline was 'which tight b@st@rd gave you 50p? ' Answer: ALL OF THEM!!!:rotfl:

    Just got back to the desk with strong coffee and the last of the choccie biccies I'd put into the freezer against temptation. Of course, when you have a microwave, 'tis but the work of moments to defrost them :D
