    Take the plunge, El!! You will soon get into the swing of things and make yourself lots of lovely extra money.

    Just remember to estimate your postage and packing properly - you don't want to undercharge and be out of pocket, but equally if you set it far too high you will put people off.

    It is easier to get to grips with than matched betting :p

    Hi KC! I have a small "kitchen garden" plot in my garden. I have herbs - chives, mint, rosemary, parsley and thyme - some strawberries which gave lovely sweet fruit this year, courgettes and fennel (:confused: )

    I am hoping to make more of that bit of the garden next year, and will be growing some potatoes (thanks Jamie Oliver for your TV ideas) peppers, garlic and tomatoes. I also have two butternut squash seedlings but I think it is a bit late to plant them out so may bring them on in the conservatory instead.

    Thanks P!

    I have just ordered another voucher from Pigsback - £10 added to the Christmas present list. These vouchers are ideal presents and I now have £30 for nothing more than clicking!! Woo hoo!!

    DD has just called to say she has forgotten her homework diary, and could I take it to school for her. So better get on so that I can get there before I see my client. Best get on xx

    Happy birthday to young Hyp. (Hip-young Hyp?) hope the day turns out well for him. Many years ago before mine were out of nappies, I read a hint that teenage years are a lot easier for all concerned if the teenager involved has an interest or skill. It helps:
    a) to occupy them (preferable to hanging round the station as they do in our town)
    and b) gives a much welcome boost to their fragile self esteem as they develop a skill

    hi chaps and chapessess (!)

    Following on from the amazing support I have had from you lot in the last few days, I pm'd the great man :money: asking if MSE towers had any ink cartridges and he responded by saying if I start a thread he will try and put it in the weekly e-mail. This really is an opportunity I can't afford to miss!

    So, despite saying I want to keep things in my diary, I have now started a thread, and want to say thank you for the ideas and the support etc.

    Hope no-one minds:o
    Love you all xx

    Yes we do. I'm really glad you had the idea to ask Martin about the cartridges, he must have read your thread!

    Hi Hypno, happy birthday to your son.

    Good luck with your ink cartridge requests - sounds like it could be a real money spinner. :money:

    I've had a manic week - registering new students at work and travelling to another site, trying to keep in touch with OH despite the time differences and sorting stuff out at home - didn't go to bed til 3am but I'm surprisingly not tired now, won't be saying that in a couple of hours I suspect. :rolleyes: Better get on with my work but thought I must have a quick MSE fix ;)
