  1. Sometimes I am really not in the mood for people asking for $5 off over and over on a small order.

      I'm often in the mood to add $5 every time they ask (time is money!). One day, I'll make that one of my basic business principles, a FAQ, and a Quick Response. 😅

      An essay about my best price as a Quick But Long Response could be nice too, but I have this vague feeling that it won't be appreciated.

      I'd appreciate it

  2. Finally moving house tomorrow. 

    I had my busiest month ever last month and am still trying to finish off a few orders. Had to just pause all gigs to allow me to get some free time to move. It has been a week of 12-14 hour days and early starts. Gonna take a few days now to move and settle in I think before getting back to work.

      Did you live in a quaint little Irish town before?

      It looks so modern. I hope you won't be eavesdropping on Google's HQ, looking for some secret sauce ranking tips. 😉

      I lived in various areas in Dublin for approx 15 years then moved to one quite quaint small town/village when I started freelancing. I moved to a slightly bigger one (Kilkenny) during Covid and the opportunity to house share with two friends in this area came up so I jumped at it. They will be moving in next month. 

      It's a far more vibrant area within walking distance of everything really so yeah, really pleased. 

  3. Got vaccinated today.

    Was fine, feel a bit of pain and extremely tired but otherwise I am

      And you have a greenish forum background! I hadn't noticed there are different ones before. Did discobot give you green because you're from the Emerald Isle ...? Ah, no, no discobot no more ... and my bg is purplish ... 

      Anyway, good to hear you're vaccinated and okay so far. 

  4. Testing a potential great use for this feature - One problem I had with the old forum was that you would often get responses from people who's opinion you may not value who then derail the thread from being a useful discussion and back to "halp me" type discussions. 

    If this type of quick post is only seen by followers of mine (mostly people I follow and who I respect), then is it possible to have a near-private discussion here with like-minded and experienced/capable sellers? Let's give it a go and discuss something here and see if it gets invaded by the masses.

    When moving house, what is your biggest peeve or greatest joy?

      I hate everything about moving except for the fact that it gives me a chance to find all the stuff that has been missing for months or years when I clear the place out 😅

      Ooh, good question! When moving houses, my biggest pet peeve is that something always gets lost in the process 😩

      And my greatest joy is probably what @vibronx said- finding long lost things when I’m cleaning out!

      That experiment looked so satisfying lol! I actually tried something similar at home called elephant toothpaste.

      Thanks all. I've moved quite a few times before and most of the time it's been positive. Moving from a house in a country town to an apartment in the very centre of Dublin (our capital city), so it's going to be quite a change.

      I'm also going to be sharing with 2 students I know so quite an adjustment but looking forward to city life again - lockdown has only really begun to be eased here, so as you can imagine, everyone is dying to get out and enjoy the summer.

  5. Bit of news for me - just signed a lease to move back to Dublin city. When I began freelancing I moved away from the city for financial reasons but after 6 years of work, development and planning, I have taken the plunge and am moving back. Photos to follow.
