    Hiya!

    Ah.... its a subsection of Stargate enthusiasts - worshipping TWTID (The Wonder That Is Daniel - and his actor, Michael Shanks). I prattle on about him at great length sometimes, this being one of those times. The convention is Chevron 7, in Northampton in about 9 days time. But Claudia Black ( who is gorgeous) and Don Davis (who is funny) have both cancelled - so we're all praying that Michael won't cancel too. If he does, I'll still go, but not pay as much attention. I'll pop off to a local village called Flore - part of my lot came from there about 250 years ago, landless labourers, poor things.

    I haven't done much today:
    - got rid of some more rubbish, and chopped a few weeds that are reaching across the front path (I need to do *so* much work!)
    - have now done all the washing up - ahem, there was quite a lot.
    - ironed the sheet to use as backdrop for the magazine shot:s.
    - lain on the sofa and watched Stargate - well, someone's got to watch afternoon tv!

    Oh my goodness me. I have every episode, i love Stargate:D Have just got the Ark of Truth, well when it came out..and have the other one on order.

    I mourned the passing of the series:o Think i will hunt my fav episodes out now:T
    Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:

    - first things first: keep taking vit c, multivit, echinacea, start milk thistle for liver.didn't do this yesterday, will improve today.
    - carry on with my b365 qualifiers. Not a sausage. May be able to do some today.
    - investigate preloved - if they don't charge for listing, they may be a better bet than ebay, I'm *really* not convinced my stuff will sell, so Im not eager to pay upfront charges. Done. Have made the beginning of a start in preparing for listings, will be able to do more today.
    - in the garden, get the patio cleaned up (lots of weeds, and big, big spiders) and get the windowbox ready to plant stuff - lettuce, radishes, quick salad crops that cost a bundle. Very dfw. Absolutely nothing, tho I have thrown out a couple of bits of downpipe that were abandoned by the builders, and cleared the front path a little.
    - in the house, do a spring clean of the bathroom. While not strictly dfw, it will make me feel a whole lot better. I've been ignoring the bathroom so strongly, I think I've run out of smellies for the bath, very nearly. This one was abandoned in v2 of this list, so have't even tried.
    - and, most importantly for my future financial freedom, do live virtual trading according to my system: Monday evening, Weds and Thurs morning and evening, Friday morning if poss. Doing live trading will mean coming on here very rarely during that time - I have to check the markets every 10 mins, minimum, and I'll be doing a stream of consciousness Word document about the trades, including entry and exit signals, risk/reward/ratios, stoplosses and targets. As Z identified a month or so ago, my stoplosses are very badly defined, (I left them out of that list, had to go back to put them in). Absolutely nothing. Am about to have another cup of tea now, and have a look, just so I remember what it all looks like.
    - charge up my moneybookers account with euros from my French bank account. I don't have the proper space to do that till Wednesday. Thats really, really crucial. Haven't done it. I hate dealing with that bank, they're really rubbish.
    Today, I will do:
    - the first one, the multivit etc.
    - the second one, preparing for ebay/preloved/gumtree listings.
    - the virtual trading one.

    Elantan! I came back on to update my list and found this post of yours! Thats incredibly sweet! And I was, you know, my little Daniel-fest lasted for hours (I'm DVDing all the episodes, as I lost my VHS tapes). Awww.... :o :kisses3:
    Today, I will do:
    [strike]- the first one, the multivit etc.[/strike] DONE but only cos I was due to post on here!
    - the second one, preparing for ebay/preloved/gumtree listings.
    [strike]- the virtual trading one.[/strike] DONE see below

    This is the see below bit: only one trade, at 0905 on the FTSE chart, would have netted 11 points, at my target of £10 a point, thats £110 for a 5 min trade. Still fuzzy on the stoploss....

    Right, not bad. Got to get going on the ebay prep now - and get to a postbox for birthday for bessie mate in Germany.

    El - Oh yeah... Season Seven, otherwise known as Season Heaven... savedanieljackson.com has a lot (of very good tv) to answer for!

    Dragon - I've just started to take photos of the mags, but I have to work now... there's still ages to go, finish photos, download to comp, resize, write the descriptions, sort how much the postage should be, and THEN list - I forgot how much work is involved, I was mad to join the challenge this week! And I'm away at the end of next week.... at least it will be done for when I come back from holiday....
