Breaking Through, Travelling On

Everyone seems happy today. That's great to hear:j

Yay :beer:

I'd love a dishwasher. I actually won one in a comp years ago but OH made such an issue about having to move cupboards and resite lots of stuff (our kitchen, though big, having a strange configuration with too many doors and windows to make many walls usable for much) that I sold it still brand new and in its box:(.

Another of his objections was that we have no use for one, only being the two of us, but I cook from scratch every day and seem to have a lot of washing up. I know you absolutely love yours, KC, and rely upon it, and there's only one of you!

I really, really do :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: what a shame you sold yours! I couldn't have had one in my previous house without doing that rejigging, which was always impossible when I worked from home, but I'd never be without one now :j

I've just had an idea for another retirement income stream for you, Karmacat:j

Someone who used to post on her diaries on MSE over several years,hypno06, and who was a great inspiration to many of us, used to record motivational/relaxation CDs to sell via a website. I know she used to write/compose the scripts herself and I listened to one once and it was brilliant. Will try to dig out a link if you like but I may have deleted all traces by now:o. She hasn't posted on here for a few years. Just an idea to start you thinking though.:beer:

I remember that! Don't worry about digging the linkie out, thats fine.

I don't do that sort of work, I'm afraid - plus the market's moved on since then, there are hemi-sync CDs still sold because they combine the sound in a very technical way (I've just bought two for my own use, actually!) but that kind of relaxation thing is mostly sold by mp3 now. I don't do relaxation tho - more the opposite and thats so full of pitfalls it looks like an open cast mine :eek:

Good to hear from you I wish you had your own diary and thanks for thinking of me

Awww, thank you :kisses3:

The tech doesn't really matter, but each unit is a lot cheaper - so, less to be made from it I still make notes for that on cartoons of therapy metaphors - the latest is about the different ways we recycle rubbish - upcycling things we love, giving stuff to the charity shop, reselling on ebay, used batteries to the bin at the supermarket, recyclables in the green bin at home, some to the council tip, some has to be put into landfill - and how all that relates to various feelings. I love that sort of thing

As for what I actually do ... there's an issue around focussing it so its therapeutic and not what's called re-traumatising ... which is why a recording of any sort would never work.

I still like it that you thought of me, though :j

And I still want you to write your own diary :j

Hello Hollyboll :hello:

Ooh, a lurker delurking :j excellent!

As for dishwashers - not only did I grow up without one, they weren't around you'll have gathered I'm comparatively ancient I've had the d/w for 5 years now, since I moved to this house, and its the inside-light of my life

The cat blog - yep, I'll pm you, it's not even monetised yet, which is shocking, and I want to do what another blog does that I'll show you, as well.
