    Thanks everyone your support is much appreciated :)

    i think with regards to the sideline bit i will carry on at the price i have currently quoted as that is what the previous person charged ( although they were anything but professional) , but i think in another 3 months or so when i have hopefully got my 6 clients up and running i may slowly bring my price up ( say by £2.50 a time )

    i have organised the paper work for it all, and will be doing this project professionally so will be providing a professional service where as i know some of the people have had anything but so far, this way they will ( hopefully) happily pay the extra to continue recieving the great standard of service i will be providing

    i have put some more books up onto amazon fingers crossed they sell fast, didnt sell any today and part of me missed going to the post office to post the books away:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    the ebay is up to £9.50 now with 15 watchers, who wouldve thought an old DVD would be so popular.

    still waiting on the money from music magpie but i researched this and apparently it can take up to 6 weeks to pay out :eek::eek:

    mr el came home with 4kg of tikka chicken tonight which he bought on the visa that will give us £5 rewards every month, so we have £265 left to pay this month, but i will be putting more diesel on tomorrow and our shopping in Aldi, so we wont be long till we have managed the £300 required.

    mr el is getting up early tomorrow to go to the bank to lift the i.s.a money that is only earning 0.25% so that i can put it in the current account that is paying 5%

    that's about all for now as i am off to work just shortly for the start of my 3 nights night shift pattern, no doubt there will be messages for me doing extra shifts when i get into work

    Lovely to join your shiny new diary.

    Your discussion with your boss sounds really sensible and well thought through, best of luck.

    It is interesting that so many of us are busily ebaying and amazoning. I know the cash is a pretty big incentive, but I think it's also a tangible way of feeling that we are making progress. OPs are good for the soul, but pulling money out of PayPal makes me feel good, lol!

    And don't forget the clutter free houses we now live in. Spacious and tidy. In fact, the house mags we've all been buying will be featuring us all and our.Zen like calm some time soon.
    Ommmmmmm........

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
