    Hiya Looooou :hello:

    I'm really glad you started the positive thinking thread today - it seems to be working, I've sorted out some annoying fiddly things that have been dragging on for ages at work today :D

    Well I am glad that me giving myself a kick up the backside has helped someone else too:j :D
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    until recently I thought Greggs was a northern thing - mainly because of the actor (Paddy in Phoenix Nights) who does the adverts - I then saw one in Poole a few months back and was genuinely surprised! shows how our minds work with advertising.......

    ok.........shows how my mind works............:rotfl:

    They do have regional variations in what they sell though, so a northern one would have a few different err delicacies :D

    I used to work in one - the smell of the shops still reminds me of having to make egg mayonnaise at 7am... bleurgh... :rotfl:

    Being still enough to listen is always the problem. We think we are alone but we never are.

    You are right there Bookie, even when I am still and quiet I still chunter on to myself in my head..............I would love to empty my head of all thoughts sometimes.

    I have tried meditating before but I just cant seem to relax:confused:

    If your own kick up the backside was as good as the one you gave me then it should work a treat:D

    I've never been in a Greggs...........I couldn't trust myself not to buy something realllllllllllly bad as I love pasties. I did think though when I went into town on Saturday how many pasty/pie/coffee shops seems to be taking over Poole High St!

    I also always thought they only sold pasties....... I'm far too literal in my thinking........:o :rolleyes:

    I bin finking. :eek:
    When I get motivated and positive (thanks SAmmy and Lou) I get things done down here and the day goes a lot faster then when I sit on my backside getting miserable.
    However, on a quiet day, there is only so much I can do.
    Can anone think of ways I could spend the quiet times doing something to bring in more income? You used to be able to stuff envelopes but machines do that now.
    Just a thought. :o

    Did I give you a kick up the backside........sorry Pepe I meant to just pinch it:p

    I have also decided today that the only moaning I am going to do from now on is in the bedroom;)

    Do you have Gravy as well? Can't get any gravy in the chippies down south or decent mushy peas...:rotfl: :rotfl:

    I was in Exeter services and we did have chips( bloomin awful ones they were too) served by a Polish chap who didn't understand what gravy was.. he kept saying Graby:confused: I wish Peter Kay had been there...

    When i said it was used to stop chips from drying up ( sarcastically)he looked at the chips and said they were already dry..and then wondered why i couldn't stop laughing.:rotfl: :rotfl:
