    What a good idea! Why didn't I think of that? I only have her blog saved as a bookmark....and she's a friend of mine!

    Thank you, off to have a look at hers to ask the question.

    helloooo all

    well done on the comments re your writing - can only get better now. x

    boo re job application / hunting.

    I have a blog (youre welcome to read it if you like) and I went the google adwords route and started making a small bit of money and then they pulled it saying I didnt have enough traffic or some rubbish like that. oh well - perhaps its a bit too boring lol. I know there are other options but the main problem is I am not very good at keeping it up to date so might look into more ads etc one day.

    Yes please, I do want to read it, so where is it?:) Can you send me a link?

    I think I'll do one step at a time and get comfortable using the blog site and tools first. I'm pleased with the look and profile overview, sometime today I'll do the first proper post and think about letting you peeps critique it before going extra public.

    Get the ears out!! Get the ears out! Get the ears out!! (You can tell I am a frustrated cheerleader:rotfl:)...see if you can precariously balance with a camera in one hand just as you give Captain a sharp jab in the ribs...maybe you could get a quick photo then...on the other hand I don't know much about horses but he would probably flatten his ears against his head if you jabbed him..oh well back to the drawing board!

    Looking forward to reading the blog...now you have given me a categoric, cast iron assurance that you will carry on posting here:D

    Weather has perked up here. Has anyone got any plans? MSE or otherwise??:)

    I promise I will stay here!

    What have I achieved today? Not a lot really. I just could not get motivated on the housework, so I left it!

    An Am*zon payment of £19.04 landed today, I've moved it into my spare account. Once I get my new account fully up and running all earnings are going there. I called them to activate the online banking side of it. I need to wait for a card reader, then my safety net is ready. I've also got £120 sitting in P*ypal from e*bay sales. Still waiting for two items to be paid for, one is for £25 so it's irritating that it hasn't been paid when the auction was won. I haven't listed anything else today. I hope to get back in the swing of it tomorrow.

    Found a job to apply for at B*rclays, I've applied there before at least twice, they never come back to you. They worry about their brand, I wonder why...

    Took the Captain out, was uneventful may repeat the experience tomorrow. The sheep glared at him and may say something to him tomorrow. That'll cause the Captain to come to a halt and prance around like a pantomime horse!

    I've posted a link to my blog. I guess I need to get it out there and get a following, but before I do, let me know what you think, feel free to be honest and tell me if it's not right. The link is on my contact page. The ears are on the blog. Thinking about it, you'd better tell me if the link doesn't work!

    Link works :j Love the name of the blog and lovin Captains ears. You write so well and it will grow in time. In the beginning I started my blog to track my progress with a horse that I had just bought - unfortunately it was not meant to be and I continued the blog and its quite meaty now. I do enjoy looking back over it - its like a picture diary.

    Looking forward to reading more on yours xx
