    Make it a swimming pool full of Baileys and I'm in.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    A paddling pool - how lovely, and we could sit on the edge dangling our feet in .... yes, I'm sure Richard Branson's island will have one of those :rotfl:



    Well, another day dawns .... and I continue to experience the breakthrough! I did the little 5 point trade on Tuesday, 2 days ago, and today, I've just done a bigger trade - *and* I did it on a more expensive thingy (I'm keeping it non-technical right? :D ). And I just made 17 points - £17 sitting in my account, hurray. I did glow a little bit when it shot in the direction I wanted, I must say, cos it was *quick*. I've just looked at the trade notes, and it lasted exactly one minute 4 seconds. Blimey :eek: but I had so many classic signals, it was just... right to do it. Even if it had suddenly gone the wrong way, it would have been right, because of the number of signals. So I'm happy on lots of levels, because what's been stopping me is not listening to my signals.

    Other news: one of my scratchcards has reached the magical £10 level (I never get the fivers that Hypno seems to sometimes :D ) so I'll withdraw that tomorrow so I have a positive balance, however tiny, in the account.

    And I did Sun Bingo yesterday for the ipoints, I can now get those £30 M&S vouchers, which will have cost me £10.

    Congrats on your £17! You obviously know what you're doing (does anyone else here have the first idea what she's doing?!).

    I've given up on the scratchcards, it took too much time to log in and so on so I'm sticking to Bingoport instead for now.

    And count me in for the island trip too. I'll have to bring the whole family of pandas - can you ask Richie if he can arrange an au-pair for the week? Although the pool full of Bailey's will probably keep the kids quiet...

    Thanks Panda! I need to write about the trading, but I think it might now be time to take it off mse - its not breaking the spirit of mse, but it might be starting to break the letter, if you know what I mean.

    The scratchcards - I can keep at them simply *because* I'm sitting in front of the computer doing nothing for long periods of time - I can't do anything thats in the least taxing, while the trading is live,but a few clicks while I'm waiting for a signal to build, yes, thats do-able.

    I'm sure Richie will have au-pairs available. Me and him are like that, y'know, me and my £17 after all!

    Hi Mizmir! - yep, welcome to the island trip! I'll let you know the itinerary later, okay? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Can you let me know before the end of the month? Only people are already booking leave at our place for next year, and I'd hate to have to resign just to go on holiday.

    And a pack of long straws so we don't need to get up off sunbed.

    I've taken care of suntan application by packing George Clooney for that duty.

    I've already booked most of my leave for next year, can you let me know the dates so I can start painting spots on or invent a cough a few days beforehand ;)
