    Well done on the twenty pound find tallie, hopefully that is a sign to show you how prosperous things will be this year.

    I love massage and am sure you will enjoy your friend practicing on you. Thinking of doing reflexology next year, although am not sure!

  • Today I have...

    -Had an NSD
    -Paid some bills online
    -Eaten yesterday's leftovers (mmm reheated chinese buffet :drool:)
    -Figured out how to get visit my folks by train next week for £17 instead of £27 just by buying two separate tickets woohoo!

    I had planned to have an ebay, charity shop or bin sortout today but due to horrible random shoulder pain that has been tormenting me since NYE I have been in to much pain (and feeling waaaay to sorry for myself) to do that.

    However, I have had a nice "treat myself for free" evening...candles and fairy light on, hot water bottle and dvds in bed...bliss! :)

    I also do indian head massage and obviously ear candling! Currently trying to find cheap royalty free pics to put on my website for the candling but not many around.

    Will prob leave reflexology for 2010 as this year as part of my resolutions i have planned:
    -Advanced massage techniques
    -Hot stone massage course
    -No hands massage course
    -Pregnancy, babies and young children massage course
    -Body polish course

    Not sure if i can fit in reflexology with everything else:rotfl:Plus, still not sure about feet:rotfl:

    Hope you get plenty of revision in!

    Andan - the baby massage is great, when mine were babies if they were cranky/teething etc I often gave them a massge with baby oil and they loved it, really settled them down - quite often they would fall asleep.:D Could open another market for you with baby groups / mother toddler groups etc :)
