    I hate the spending too :D:D:D
    Hey the toyathon was a great success 4 black bags and a huge box for the charity shop. I feel so much better now - its mad though how a tidy house=tidy mind.
    Even better I lost 1lb in Slimming world tonight ( not deserved though I add). I need to meal plan now although bit difficult as on a very tight budget this month as OH totally overspent on his French trip :mad:

    Wow Bella congrats! Knew you could do it. Don't forget my toy supplier if you're bulk ordering may be worthwhile.:T

    Well done Shelley on the weight loss! :T

    I now have 5 orders for the next few weeks. (our IT dept have been very busy! I want a job in IT!:rotfl: ) I had an order I had to courier out and I used parcel2go as recommended by Rusty (thank you!) and assuming it got there undamaged I'm really pleased with the sevice. I put it on a 72hour economy delivery, they collected tuesday and tried to deliver yesterday but the recipient was out, looked on tracker again tonight and it was delivered this morning. Very impressive for £7.80.

    Thanks girls im really pleased but have just spent £150 in stock arghh! 20 blue teddies, 20 pink, stemtex, rose leaves...etc etc. Had no choice as minimum order was £150 so i spent £150.66 LOL! :rotfl: Still it will keep me going...just hope I dont go off the teddies now!

    Shelley- those tidying days do wonders for your spirit- you end up with a weight off your mind and feel sooo cleansed lol! Well donr on weight loss hun! I have lost 10lbs since Jan and only 3lbs to go now! On the weight watchers.

    Fantastic news Becs! I always use parcel2go too. They did put their prices up a few months ago but very quickly put them down again thank goodness. I sent a winnie pooh cake to the USA yesterday by royal mail and postage was £21! ontop of price of the cake...couldnt beleive they wanted to spend that much...I hope it gets there in one peice!

    Good luck riggerz with the shop let me know how you get on. I'm going to approach a few gift shops near all the local hospitals here and see how it goes. I'm offering a small commission to them that doesn't eat into my profits much at all.

    Julie- i think they only do wide stemtex in America!

    Bella who do you have an account with? I presume it is an account with it being a minimum order?

    Also can I ask what kind of commision you offer to them?
