    What a lot of news on this thread, it's like a soap opera!

    Sorry about the bad news on your knee, Shaun, I hope they found a way to sort it.

    Now you GCSE mums, how do you get your results? One of my DDs took a GCSE, we got nothing in the post yesterday. Should we ring the school?

    Hi Seaxwyn! I think the results were available to those who went to collect them from the schools yesterday.

    If you are waiting for them to be posted, I expect they will arrive today or tomorrow. But a phone call to the school would clarify whether they have been sent out.

    Good luck for the result - which GCSE was it?

    Italian - one of my DDs was picked to do it two years early.

    I just wish they'd told us we had to go to the school for the results! We were all waiting for the post.

    I've just had a look at your downloads page - very professional! That would certainly encourage me to buy if I wasn't such a skinflint non-spender!

    Thanks!! I just did the work on the downloads, another guy has a recording studio and I worked with him, he then did all the techie stuff to get the crackles out of the voice etc, then the third guy is the one who did the website......and I have noooo idea what he does.....just that it is now there so hopefully we can start making money!

    We all gave our time for free, so hopefully once we stop paying google for whatever we are paying them for, we can make enough to pay for a small holiday or something.

    I am not expecting to get rich from it, but if we can each get enough out of it to be treated as a nice bonus, then that would be excellent. Personally, to be able to pay for our holiday with it would be a dream!

    I am just glad it is now "live" - it is over a year ago that we did the bulk of the work!!

  • The site looks great.I have long been a believer in the powers hidden within ourselves, and have a few CD's myself...and books. I do feel energised by them, and really should listen to them more often.
    I like the ideas for the children's relaxing tape, as we live in a stressful world and i think it is more so for children nowadays.
    Good luck with it all.

    Thanks Bob.......it is a start, anyway. The idea is to add more titles, but the time involved in getting a good quality recording is phenomenal! Plus, I need to write more "sessions" and that involves brain work :o :rotfl:

  • Good grief, will you be able to find the time? You have so much on your plate..But if anyone can, then you can!

    That looks great, hypno, its a really good idea. Sounds like you're paying a *lot* to google tho - I must say, we don't belong to the adwords thing, tho everyone recommends it for actually selling on the web, cos we don't sell, I just put in every search word I could think of, and linked to a few people (with permission, natch) and hey presto, good search result position. Mind you, there's not much competition for my particular little niche, which is probably why :o:o

    Sorry, I know you're not a techie, and neither am I really, but it did work out. This sounds like its going to as well - hope the sales really start soaring. :j
