    Tries to remember how to wave back...:wave:

    Butt kicking required as funds are now severely depleted due to failed business venture, lots of holidays and supporting myself for about six months. New job isn't well paid but it's ok and should be fairly stable.

    Aha ... I remember you saying your back ... So as you know ( and have seen the actual evidence) my food challenge has started, now i know you will beat the pants off me there, cause well lets be honest even the queen spends less than me on food, but I also remember you mentioning a selling challenge oh whilst we were horse hunting.. I'm just utterly useless at selling, but as you know I have so much crap i need to sell ( Goblets anyone?) So how about two things a week advertised? ( i probably wont sell anything though as im crap at descriptions etc)

    So you have this deposit to find... I have a bedroom to do probably roughly the same amount of money ( remember i have bloody expensive taste)

    What say you ?

    Right got paid yesterday so have moved money to savings immediately - do not pass go, do not look at sales just think of bigger picture!

    So it's a start... got a week off in February so hoping to use at least part of it to make some extra money.
