    Good evening MG, good evening all,

    several things to report, really:

    1) Being home is so nice that I should have had more of this in my dream week. At the same time being at home is nice only in relation to being away - we are back to the laws of the Universe (this is the one of opposites, I believe).
    2) I am roughly up-to-date with Mr. Big's challenges - the one I am going to tackle big time is the contact list; and of course being me instead of focusing on the people to include I am focusing on the design of the database, Hope I'm not going to end up with a wonderful database and no one in it.
    3) I am ready with the 'Dream to reality wish'.
    4) The last challenge I find particularly interesting - have been just thinking of ways to bust the alibi 'I am too busy to keep fit' and one of the things have been trying to design is a 'time diary'. Am testing it myself (too much time on MSE website my time diary is saying).

    All the luch for the begining of the working week. I think I'll take at least the morning off.

    Black and silver is a good combo... think about it in relation to your potential emo franchise.

    Also, 53 fans now! hopefully that will lead to them buying something. Sorry I haven't put the christmas pic up, will do it tonight x

    My answer for the MrBig 5-9 challenge seems to involve a lot of time on here, mystery shopping reports, tv, texting, making phone calls, bit of housework, sitting on the sofa having tea and biscuits while doing all of the above, and not forgetting 7pm MrBig challenge:)

    Now if somebody else posted that I'd reply suggesting that they take mabye 2 or 3 evenings and do something different/productive from 5-9 then do the MSE/tv stuff from 9-11. Must take my own advice;)

    I'm a pretty pretty person like glitter and colour, so doing black is quite out of my comfort zone.

    As is making assymetrical (sp?) jewellery I struggle with that too.

    thanks again for doing the facebook page.

    Hello All

    Finally I catch up again.

    MG I would be happy to put my hands up and be added to your matrix.If I can be of any help.

    wooohoooo!!! you are number 50 :beer:

    I was just thinking that I can see a huge jump in new businesses in the near future and I bet the government will say it's due to their success :rotfl:We will have to make sure that they know it's all down to MG. :TOhh MG for Prime Minister :p:j

    oh matey - had too much of an interesting past to be in politics - although a part of it was in soho and did involve drag queens so i suppose the tories would have me:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. not!!!!

    Sorry too much chocolate today, I'm getting silly.

    Off to do some more planning.


    nothing wrong with being silly - i would join you with some chocolate, but this evening i wanted a plate of raw carrot, turnip and cauliflower????????????

    i think someone has kidnapped memorygirl in the night and reprogrammed her cravings:cool:

    You don't need to like all of the jewellery, you won't be wearing it;) someone else will probably love it. It's more important that it's well made than for you to love each item.

    Check out something like Twilight/New Moon on ebay or elsewhere for ideas for teenagers. It's kind of the polar opposite to teenagers who like pretty pink things and fake tan.

    So happy you sold lots over the weekend:T

    Good luck to @Memorygirl for tomorrow:)

    How is the juicing going Memory girl - which Jason Vale book did you use, I can see the Seven day, 14 day and Juicing for life which sounds scary.

    Any suggestions/experience?

    Nevertheless she persisted.
