Thanks, oops - I'm fine now, combination of too much fat and wheat in the prepackaged food my mum wanted us to eat while she was staying with me (I won't be doing that again, not worth it, I'll precook and use frozen veg).
Busted for the late-night walking! Nah, not really dangerous, its all along a very busy main road and then along the edge of a quiet village-type green where my business partner lives. No opportunist would dare touch me striding along in my trainers with a well-packed bag ready to whack all-comers (can you tell I've been to self defence classes in the past?).
But your concern is appreciated!
Addition to the small tasks: I listed two CDs on Amazon, the first I've done. Of the CDs I want to sell, lots don't seem to have isbn (etc) numbers, I haven't checked the titles yet, thought I'd do the easy ones first. How do people sell those, on ebay?
