    Nothing happening here... Need to weigh up the pros and cons of paying for more space for my website :rolleyes: not getting anywhere fast with that :rotfl: Back to work tommorow, it has to be done eh. Feeling more motivated to go back though after I have been playing with figures, hopefully by October my savings should be just over £2k :j Now thats not far is it? Woo hoo...

    Hi PaP - Give it a bit of time - I would imagine that it's a bit quiet for everyone on the 'card' front at the moment. I wouldn't spend any more on your website for the moment - wait for things to pick up a bit - they will.
    In the meantime, we need to think of ways that can get publicity for your website without costing you anything.
    Glad you enjoyed your 'holiday'. :rotfl:

    Well thats it rog, I dont want to spend anymore. Its £16 till november but at renewal its the whole year basic and then a whole year for the extra space :o I think I will have to take some of my 'older' not much liked cards off the site and keep putting new stuff on the site etc. I may also play with the photo sizes, before was too small but maybe if i get somewhere in the middle I could get it just right? Just had another order for a cake and card though :D shame its in 2 weeks :eek:

    Anyways back to it :rotfl:

    Can't rebuild it, it was from my student grant, thankfully I had it. I just don't earn enough to save anything :(

    Fingers crossed you'll be able to save that amount for Oct, not long to go either!!

    How are you advertising your site? Search engines? Link exchanges? Remember the only way you'll get more customers is by advertising it properly.

    How did you first day back at work go? I have all this week of so this coming Sunday i shall be feeling the same way you did!!

    Maybe that's why you aren't having as many orders hun, wouldn't it be better opening an ebay shop? At least that way, ebay does the advertising for you and it's easily searched by thousands of people. Just a thought...

    Ah i see, sorry i thought you were back today. Long working week then hun!!
