    Good luck with the sales jwil :T Do you think its worth selling at 99p now due to the postage fees? i have been trying to get my head around it.

    I understand now with the work issue - definitely stressful but glad it is sorted for now and lets hope up and running for next week :)

    I meant i understood about the car issue having been there myself whils having bills and no money - hope it didn't come across as anything other than that hon x

    You're right - it is the first week and sometimes its easier to not things affect you when everything else is going well - i would definitely have had a cry / sulk - both :o

    Glad you are posting x

    Thanks guys :) Have pm'd you back DDFW :kisses3:

    I'm feeling better now. The IT issue is miraculously resolved, so fingers crossed it stays that way! :j :j

    Little man had a long lie in this morning, so I managed to get some listings done before I started work. I'll try and get some more done later.

    I've also done all the surveys for today so far.

    Better get back to it :)

    One other thing that DDFW suggested is to follow some more diaries. I used to pop into loads, but while I was off, had to limit myself to a couple, so I shall have to find lots of new people to pop in and say hello to, and catch up with some old friends too :) It really does help with the focus and inspiration.

    If anyone's lurking then pop in a link to your diary and I shall pop over. Otherwise, I shall have to go off hunting :)

    Hello stranger,

    Long time no see, apart from FB! I was away from this site, having a tiny person means no time for anything really.
    Hope all is well, will try to pop in sometimes.

    Thanks Tattycath, I'm always lurking on your diary, even though I don't post often. I'm sure things will work out.

    You are doing brilliantly :)
