    Just tried to post a reply to Zed and Pippi 3 times with quotes and it won't have it - Grrrr

    Lol Z

    Thanks for the kind offer Pippi - I'll try and take a snap of my proposed plot later and come and visit your thread :)

    Morning KC - :hello: thanks for hosting the garden chat! It's raining here too today, hope it clears for you later so you can do some pottering after Ebay :)
  • Afternoon KC - hope you get a bit of space to yourself, its p**ing it down here too, but haven't got the energy to do anything much, so know how you feel.

    Good luck with the trading.

    Morning - loving the garden talk :D We managed to grow teeny tiny carrots last year in a container, didn't get any comedy ones but we did with the parnsips! I found broccoli tricky - too popular with the slugs, but did manage to keep a few plants and finally getting some sprouting now after planting it last spring (think it's the yellow Romanesco variety, but not totally sure yet).

    How did you get on with ebay etc yesterday Karma? :)

    Morning! Sorry I never got back on yesterday - I *did* do Sainsbury (it was packed, so I washed my eyes, gargled and washed out my eyes, in case I picked up yet another lurgy :o:o:o), and I *did* do ebay -railway sleepers and coolbox have 5 watchers each :j:j:j and even my little sewing machine has one, so its all good.

    I did work on the hotel thing, but mostly in phone conversations with family - four rooms, including for the father of the groom (my bro :) ) and the car situation for my sister.... as they say, its complicated, so once I'd sat down in front of Time Team, I didn't do anything else.

    Just been looking at the trading, tho not properly, because a signal had just happened when I went online - great result - I plan to stay at 15minute trades at first, because thats all I can cope with timewise, but I plan to extend that to use a particular exit signal instead, which will sometimes give longer trades - in this case, my entry would've been at 8am, and I'd have got out about 3 minutes ago (really, truly). The 15 minute timed profit would've been 8 points - the 1.5 hour signalled exit would've made me 100 points.

    :j:j:j

    Today, I've just got a couple of sessions, tho widely spread out, and I *have* to wash my hair, couldn't face it yesterday. It feels nice and springlike too - lovely blue sky, tho everything will take a while to dry out - we had some *serious* rain here last night.

    :hello: later!

    dudes :D

    Actually, I wanted to start it today - my business partner is coming to the house tomorrow, for the first time in ages, and I wanted to be able to say, hey look at the trade I did. But I also knew I wasn't well enough to put the alarm on at 6am and go from there - thats okay too. Its very unlikely anything else will happen after a move that big, so nothing today.

    Taxi, you're right, it was time consuming, I'd forgotten how long it takes to put stuff on ebay, groan - but its done now, thats something. Lots more on the hotels tho - I'll have a potter on lastminute and tripadvisor right now, actually (after another cuppa - got to keep my throat lubricated :) )

  • Have you got a day this week you could start properly? If you're feeling OK?

  • I can't believe I have missed so much I know I have been busy but time seems to be speeding up sorry :o

    Really sorry to read about the consultant but pleased you have focussed the bad energy in a good way :j

    You are not middle aged because if you are I am and I refuse to be so there :D

    Love the gardening tips macgirl what did you do to your rambling rose I have a very large rambling rose and a very large clematis all over a pergola which is about 20 feet long that badly needs painting I would really like to chop both right down to virtually ground level any thoughts anyone?

    KC when are you going to start trading for real this is bum kicking time if you wait for the "right" time it is not going to happen I have been reading about you doing this for ever just do it - OK you will probably never talk to me again but I don't care (well I do really) I want to see you being able to do all sorts of new things without worrying about the cost - ok I am going now :o
