    Are you at liberty to divulge your sideline? I'm very curious. Glad you had a good day. I think my shortest wash is 30 mins which is good for stuff only worn once.

    Hope you finish chores soon

    Not at the moment Bexster, early days and all that ;). Hope to manage to keep it going till end of the year :eek:, then we'll see, only and if only it takes off sooner :j, will I then reveal all :)

    O/p £6.04 tonight in the hope (if my calculations are right :D) of reaching the magic number, tomorrow, will check and report back.

    Finger hoovering above that "button" :rotfl:

    Calculated correctly - but forgot about the snails pace the bank work at, so my o/p has not yet come off.

    Maybe tomorrow, then day after, button will be pressed.

    On a better note, a property just like mine has went up for sale and what they are asking means my property has went up by 50% since buying, 6 years 2 months ago :j

    Best of luck with the sideline! Mine was the best thing I have ever done, and I now earn more from it than my proper job.


    ETA: great news re: property price. Mine has gone up a similar amount ( but in twice the time!)

    I think Jimmy was ribbing you thanks to a typo you made ;)

    I don't think the value of our house has increased in the 8 years we've owned it. It's probably worth a little less than the sum total of what we paid for it plus what we have spent on improvements! I still think it was a good buy though :)

    Thanks Bexster, I could see this going places, but still a lot of work so far, and not sure I want to be working all hours of the day and night, but could be easier once set up.


    Good news on the valuation too. :D
