Just got off by the skin of my teeth with the Bank of Scotland. But not out the shit yet! the weather has turned thank goodness, and the heat is finaly building up. Ebay doing really well, despite the poor postage service on Surface mail. got the cheque off for the Tax, and we should just make it tax-wise. On reading the hypnotism boo, some very interesting things come up. The business of sending a message from the left side of the brain to the right is all important. The right side of the brain...

Money coming in?
the b Money coming in? although it looks like we might be Ok for money, it will be touch and go. With the Tax bill and the rent all falling at the same time, we will be stretched to the very limit this month. funny thing is, the book sales are through the roof. ebay has proved more than enough to get us out the mire. If I'm still writing these things in a months time, then we lived to fight another day. The holidays are upon us. When I worked in the factory, this was always the strat of holiday...

Hospital
We visited the hospital today. I don't know what all the fuss is about, with people winging about the decay of the NHS? It looks in good shape to me. At least the Edith Cavel does in Peterborough. Financialy things are on the up. Paypay has turned around more money in the last few days than Abe and amazon put together. Good old Ebay! I see tony got off the hook again. What's new? Thisnew inquirey could be nothing else other than a white-wash. Although I still think Sadam has weapons of mass... Sign in to see full entry.

Bank trouble
with the impending doom of bank loans having to be repayed, I tried to sort things out by asking for financial advice. At first my blood turned cold, but with the help of business Debtline, we are out of the worsed of it. Far from over, but we live to fight another day. the irony is, that Ebay have more than saved our bacon, but last years business, Gardening lost a lot of money. with compound interest, it has put us 30,000 in debt. We can't pay that back, so bankrupcy loomed! Now the Birmingham... Sign in to see full entry.

Keep going
Can't think of anyhting else to call this today. Ebay things are good. Radio 2 stuff about Ebay was good. Even though they got scammed. Went to Uppingham book fair, poor showing. got the silliest notion about logging onto a gambling site to see if I could turn my fortunes around. The Bannana one seems eaiest. Of course I can't rememeberthe old ones, when the old computer went down, but what the hell. Had some good ideas about Magick. The one overriding thing is, that it will be my inner world...

Open Uny
After watching the open university program about the publishing world, it doesn't make happy viewing. basicly the odds on getting published are little better than the lottery. so why bother? No, the real answer is to press away with the non fiction writing. this site could be a gold mine if I could just get it going. But by far the best rout is to bring them to me. I still like the idea of travel writing. apart from the obvious handycap of never having gone to the places, I think i could do it.... Sign in to see full entry.

Business on the up.
Good news for Ebay, who are selling our stuff faster than we can put the books on. running out of stock on their pages. Only another 50,000 books left to go! Reading theIndie' today, I saw the young soldier had only done 31 weeks training from leaving school to being shot dead in Iraq. This must be a quicker turn around than WW1? What are we coming too? Young lads must be worrying about the draft in this country? They must be running out of people to stock the army? Still, it means there could... Sign in to see full entry.

Book sales
Having slagged off Ebay/amazon ect, they are now turning around. Not a fortune, but better than the last few weeks. Of course this puts a stop to any writing. Read a really good artivcle in the Indi' about Jewish refugees fleeing nazi Germany and Soviet russia in the 30', to end up in Shanghi. It turns out the Jappanese government during the war, actually protected them. Seems they bank rolled the Japanese modernisation in the 1920-30' so they felt they owed them one. Strange world.

Life goes on
One thing which has struck me about this blogging, is that you have licence to write any nonsense you like. when you look at some of the others, and I mean the top ones, they are full of rubbish. Now maybe that's Ok. But what does stick up my arse, is the fact that these people get paid for this. Some must make over a hundred quid a week! Far play to them, if people are stupid enough to part with their money, fine. So why can't I get on this kick too? I can write stuff just as crap as them, and... Sign in to see full entry.
