I'm up to £400 so for around 90 domains
tbh If I can't sell a little of what I've registered to cover that I deserve to lose the money

You got some crackers, you'll easily get your money back.
Where are you selling these on?
Any suggestions for a newbie on where and how to sell?

Do you have landing pages on the domains? or an obvious way to contact you from your whois information?
If they're good, people should come to you
You can also try your luck on Domainlore.uk

I got a couple of confirmations from 123 too
I had an inkling I'd nabbed them because the TAGs were EVOHOSTING and MONSTER.I got a couple of confirmations from 123 too
I also just had a confirmation from 123 saying they managed to pick up GasEngineer.uk for me, matches my earlier reg BoilerEngineer.uk.
Pleased i got these.

I would welcome your advice on this one.
I've recently launched Sportsweek.uk (also have the .co.uk and .com) and went for Newsweek.uk as a natural development of the content that I offer.
GoDaddy have captured the url and I've been invited into an auction for it. So far, so good.
I've just done a bit of due diligence on the name and have found that Newsweek.co.uk is actively forwarding to Newsweek.com. Yes, that one - with its 26 million unique visits in May...grrrr.
Clearly I have no wish to pass off as Newsweek, but I do like the name as a fit within my roadmap. If I was spending a tenner on it, I'd happily close the deal and crack on.
However, if I end up spending a few hundred pounds in a GD auction, and then find myself in the shadow of Trump's wig....I'm going to be pretty pissed off.
Is this likely to happen?
Do these guys forgo their brand rights in this market post the RoR period?
Can I expect to get what I spend at auction back should the wig come-a-calling?
Does the wag who forgot to register the domain at Newsweek keep his/her job?
Might this be my first headline story....

PRECISEMINDS also got nurses.uk, which was one of the ones I went after (being a nurse myself).
And they got opinion.uk as well. Looks like their scripts were running well today.
Still happy, because I got 7 out of my 11 targets.

Wednesday: 0/7
Thursday: 7/11
Friday: going for 6...
Dropcatcher has been best for me, with 4 catches out of my 10
