Hi Thriftymissus that sounds like a good idea thank you, but I am not even sure I will make money yet, I recently put an ad in Yell.com and there were loads of other businesses similar to mine in there, I have bought things though that will come in should I not succeed. Also one of the reasons for getting the items is because I can't run a business with the stuff I have although MD said I should have tried that. Anyhow I think alll the spending is over for now, So I should be able to collect a few NS days now - here's hopingXXXThriftymissus said:Number 4 for me today 👍
