Hi if anyone is interested in having a look at the site I run Books to Buy and Sell - registration is free, and your first listing - then 25p per book (cheaper than Ebay or Amazon - and cheaper to buy). I started running last year, and it is growing but more members definately welcome.

Awww... What would we do without our warm and fuzzy Dixie?
Now, run along little one and find some more 'indie' news to slag off the governments that pay your Dole cheque and ensure your freedoms! That's a good lad!

Michelle, why is your authors A-Z page removed, and why is your fiction by category page limited to crappy chicklit and books by Alan Titchmarsh?

'vacs, I'm surprised you didn't note that Michelle's book club only has one member. Or least this is what I assumed from the section Member's News.
Soz, 'chelle, but I'll never buy anything from anyone who abuses an apostrophe in this way.

The 40 thousand banners at the bottom put me off from even browsing...
Looks like one of those 'affiliate' circle jerks on a Geoshitties website.

Thanks for that, just what I needed a big beat up on me.
I would like to say one thing though it seems to have all given you some fun with my posting.
I apologise for the wrong apostrophe! Sometimes when you are doing one million things at once while lookiing after children at home you make the odd mistake. We all make mistakes as we are all human. The a-z will be back just some work being done to it - that has to happen sometimes with it as it has so much info on it.
And as for the banners, there is only a few - of the main sites like boots, wh smith etc!!!
And to the Dixie Flatliner - it sounds like you are doing such a lot with your life!!!!
I am going to go now - have not been made feel welcome here at all.

Lots of people think this site is rude and unwelcoming, don't they? However, I think it's asking for trouble if your first post is an advert for your own site, and if you then decline to accept negative but potentially helpful comments.
It's a shame if you don't feel you can be happy on TMO, Michelle, but bear in mind that people self-promoting as soon as they arrive is going to be met with caution and criticism on most internet communities.

I think it was my second post - but take your point. And I wasn't meaning you, and who said I didn't take it - I am just pointing out maybe one post was a touch too far

and my pitiful excuse is
things have been a little bit hectic since chrimbo. spent two weeks over my girls where the nights that i would usually spend reading were filled with arguements, procreation or a mixture of the two. when the new term started i had to complete 5 months worth of lesson plans aswell as induvidual learning plans (ilp's for lecturers in the know) and pretend at meetings that i am on top of everything and understand my colleagues newspeak I am really enjoying the book and am looking forward to getting back to it but circumstances have prevented that from happening. I've only got about 60 pages to go if that is any consilation.

Sorry, I came over all Kovacs for a second.
Easy, Teflon
Don't worry bandrew, The very idea of a Bandy/Kovacs manjaculation event generates an image too hideous for me to be able to summon the mental strength to mock it.
Starving kids and djoeys I can do, But not that.
Even I have limits....
