Chat thread

[#1]

I thought a chat thread would be good for sharing just about everything as well as having a good old chit chat while we do so =)

At the moment I am eating cheese and crackers and then I plan to research the restrictions that were on women in the eighteenth century. I have an assignment due next Friday based on the visible and invisible walls in womens lives.

How about you?

[Lunadesigns101]

It really is. Too much to juggle!

Well the little bit got eaten up by something else- but congrats on the 2nd interview!! Good luck - didn't realize been 3 days since been here - trying to spend less tiem on the net - but run 8 other groups in a whole different site (non-selling) and trying to water the onions on crutches still.

Carrie - good luck with the "life" thing - if you figure it out - let me know, -hehe

General shout out - I just got a new monitor. All my pictures now look horrible!

Cheers guys! x

Sorry Lisa - no idea -

[Lunadesigns101]

I think it's to do with your contrast Lisa

[Former_Member]

I think your pictures look fine. Try fiddling around with the contrast and brightness settings on your monitor until everything looks normal again.

I've been quite productive today. Got a good portion of notes and reading done for uni work and managed to fit in a trip to Starbucks with a friend and some shopping with the Mr as well.

Not had an awful lot of time to spend on here though, which is a shame. Still getting a few sales here and there though which is positive.

Can't believe the amount that postage from the US to overseas has gone up - decided I'll raise them half so only losing a little since I do have several international sales and one repeat customer in the UK but makes it almost not cost effective for people.

Carrie - glad you got a lot done.

Luna- hope you are doing well.

Linda - your photos in your shop look great to me - as well as your products.

[Lunadesigns101]

I'm ok Vallee, thanks. Just feeling a bit under the weather. Got a really bad headache and stressing about my car. AGAIN

I've got my second interview tomorrow so nervous about that too.

[Lunadesigns101]

Quick question, can you have someone order using a bank card?

[MeAndMomsCrafts]

Pssttt.....hi! :-)

[EnchantedRoseShop]

Luna - do you mean like a debit card? If it has a Visa or Mastercard logo on it I would think it would be the same as a credit card - but not 100% sure. How did the interview go?

Hi MeAndMom'sCrafts

[Former_Member]

I am closing shop June first as I am pursuing other ventures. Thanks for all the support. I am offering all items at 50% off using coupon code JUNE1. I am open to any reasonable offer. Thanks!

[Former_Member]

Sorry to hear that Jodi, I wish you all the best in your future ventures.

Luna, do mean like with Direct Checkout? I don't think they've rolled that out over on our side of the pond yet but I'm not certain. There's also the option of paying through Paypal as a "guest" with their debit card if they don't already have an account. And how did the interview go?

How have you been Vallee and MeAndMoms?

I've not been around much this past week. I've been very busy with the final push doing all the research for my dissertation. I've given myself 1 week to type up 8000 words, silly me. So I won't be around much in the following few weeks either what with revision and exams and all. I'll try to pop in though every few days to say hi =)

[MeAndMomsCrafts]

I have been doing well Carrie. Sounds like you have quite a bit going on. I'm busy too but with different things than you. I think busy is good though. Keeps us on our toes! :-)

[EnchantedRoseShop]

Jodi - looking at your shop for a possible trade - unsure what I can use but would you be interested? Would help dimenish your inventory.

carrie - trying to raise $1000 for my hubby's dental work by a certain date so may start doing great sales - in the meantime have my nerve induction study to be done on Tuesday - results the next Monday and dealing with veggies in the ground but freezes and still on crutches. Working more on my Weebly site - etsy is expensive when you have no $.

MeandMom - hello - love reading your blogs every Monday.

[MeAndMomsCrafts]

Hi Vallee! So glad you enjoy reading my blog. I enjoy writing it! :-)

[Lunadesigns101]

Sorry got some family chaos going on so haven't been able to visit.

Got my exam next monday but then my first year of uni is done.

I've started looking at moving out now. Trying to work out how could afford it.

[EnchantedRoseShop]

My pleasure - MeandMomsCrafts. I blog all the time though they don't always recommend it - lots of different things - poety, etsy items, sales, poetry and life....

Luna - hope you can move and good luck on your exam. I understand the financial stuff - we are barely scraping by right now with my husband needing some very necessary dental work.

[Lunadesigns101]

I got the job!! Sorry am so excited just had to share ^.^

[EnchantedRoseShop]

Congrats Luna - I am SO happy for you - I am doing OK recently with my shop though lots of work and way behind financially. Forget - any luck with a car? I recall you had problems with another car.

[Lunadesigns101]

Thank you ^.^ And I'm glad you and your shop are doing well =)

My dads girlfriend said she'll sell me her old car now she's just bought a new one. So I just need to sell this one now. The good thing is I know the cars history so I at least now how it runs and everything. Plus it's cheaper to insure than mine.

[Former_Member]

Congrats Luna!!! *happy dance*

I've started applying for jobs now, currently waiting for a recruitment company to ring me back about an admin position.

The dissertation is finished!!! And handed in, so now its completely out of my hands and I no longer have to worry about that.

Good to hear your shop is picking up Vallee, mine has slowed to a stop lately, but then I haven't spent any time on promoting or anything lately, just not had the time to.

[EnchantedRoseShop]

Luna - hope it workd out for you wit the car.

Carrie - fantastic you are done with the dissertation and praying for a job for you -

I have been promoting a lot since REALLY need the money - too much on FaceBook - they have banned me again from doing many things - only reason doing well right now - lots of work - is my work not the SEO's though always keep those in mind. Just listed another stretch bracelet - now that I see the photos would do it a different way but have 2 more ear-rings to post today or tomorrow. Mother's Day is 2 weeks away here in the USA anyway -

[Lunadesigns101]

Congratulations on getting it done Carrie! My best friends just finished/ finishing hers to hand in too and I know she'll be so relieved to have it done.

Good luck in the job hunt. I know what a pain it can be waiting for people to get back to you. I hope the shop perks up too.

Good luck in getting everything done Vallee, although you do seem to work yourself too hard sometimes.

[Lunadesigns101]

You'll never guess what...

I've just been contacted by a gallery to display my bracelets!
