Poor you on your mobile! But, erm, I have no idea what your question means sorry! I'm sure thats the mobile, I can't work it out. Mind you, I couldn't work out some of the things Shaun was typing on his computer :o:o boy, *that* was embarrassing :rotfl:

Hope you're well, and feeling feisty!

I'm really looking forward to getting into the new place! I *think* I'm looking forward to the holiday.... yes, I am, on the whole. I've never, ever been away with my sister and my mother _pale__pale_ Its a biggish place - 3 bedrooms, shower room and cloakroom, sitting room, conservatory and games room (so one each, then ) - and we'll have the car to go out in, we already have Delia booked, and the rellies coming.

The new house is definitely a new start! I have to be wary of thinking that just because I'm in walking distance of everything I'm going to take part in everything - thats just not my character! But its going to feel so much more lively, with so many more opportunities, even within the garden - as things are here, its just too awkward to sit out. Over there, it'll be really easy.

**Happy sigh**




EDIT - I just came back online to do the ratted inputting, and now the website tells me its *not* ten days since I sent the email I'm supposed to be wittering on about. Its two weeks tomorrow - I'm boogered by it being a Saturday, I know how they're counting it now ... I wish I had before I started :cool:


DOUBLE EDIT - I've also re-started a garden blog on myfolia.com - somebody on the greenfingered board on here told me about it ages ago - obviously, I won't be using this one till I actually start gardening, but its there, and I'll link it to the blog above when I'm ready. Its happening, slowly but surely.

Morning! I have a meeting in town today that I'm going to go to - free CPD hours, anything from 1 to 4, I think. Erm, if there's no CPD hours available, I'm going to zoom off, its too hot to stay there otherwise. Hopefully, I'll have the paperwork to rejoin the organisation too (its the local counselling group, as opposed to the national).

It also means I can take the records to the record shop - sadly, I'll have to take them on the trolley thing - not an ordinary luggage trolley case, a thing like a builder's pushalong thing, with a stretchy spider to keep everything in place. I can't manage to hold them, even 20 records are *very* heavy

I *still* haven't uploaded the big-stuff-for-sale - I get blocks about things sometimes, and they just don't happen for ages. I have to do it before I leave for this meeting, or not bother before the holiday, because by the time people see my stuff and decide to buy it and then pick it up, it can take quite a few days. Grrrr.

HI Karma! I like the blog. I'm sure you can build up readership by posting comments on DIY/building/home restoration type websites and blogs. have you seen these two? (they are both people I interviewed once for a journalism job)

Sounds like you've had a good day.

:hello::hello::hello: I've had a great day, thanks (tho the smiley list disappears every time I click one - thats disturbing ). I got 4 hours CPD in the end, and one of them was an hour networking over a meal from a local wholefood restaurant, on the house, which was absolutely lovely. So I'm already 25% of the way there for my CPD, at a cost of £5 plus two bus tickets excellent.

Went to the record store, and there was an old gent in there on his own - 80 years old! Gave me a tenner for half a dozen or so of them, and asked what I'd do with the rest - I said I'd recycle the cardboard and chuck the LPs and he sort of blanched so I gave the others to him for free - he has a charity shop pile, which is sweet. Mooched about, went to the library, a free afternoon in town! It was great..... home now, and I've eaten and done my duty phone call, my time is my own.

And I still haven't done the you know what uploading, and right now I don't particularly care a glass of wine is chilling in the fridge, all is right with the world.

That sounds like a perfect day.
What is CPD please?

Hi Taxi! Sorry, its Continuing Professional Development - to stay accredited with the British Association for Counselling, you have to do 30 hours of it each year, forever - and they audit 10% of all accredited counsellors each year, so there's no funny business - you have to be able to show benefit.

I've a budget of £100, which is ambitious, since any 6 hour seminar is £50 - £150, which is why I'm pleased with £5 for 8 hours
