    Help With Images For Press

    Thank you for all of your replies! Gemma - Hello and thank you to another Yorkshire lass!!! The camera I have taken them on is a 12 mega pixel Lumix, it usually does fine for the web images but I know that print is another matter! I do understand that a photographer would take a far better...

    Alliance & Leicester - bunch of Chavs.

    Business banking account here too. Its just one excuse after another,despite my case being 'escalated' they still seem to be incapable of using their fax machine. Luckily (for me) some poor chap gave me his name so I will hound him untill I get my problem sorted:eek:

    Opening a Shop

    Hi, Not looked at either of those options and will look into both if I decide not to go ahead with the shop. However there is part of me that says I have to give this shop a go and if I don't do it now I never will. Vicky

    Opening a Shop

    Thanks for your replies, Luckily the property does qualify for the 50% relief - even better from Oct 1st till Sept 30th next year there are no rates to pay at all! No lease on the property - its rented from the council, that however is causing me quite a headache, I don't think that they...

    Mums in business

    Hi, I'm near Wakefield so not too far from you. I find being a work at home mum frustrating sometimes as friends and family don't actually think that I'm working as I'm at home. It would be good to hear from other poeple in the same situation.
