    Yep, I have had a great time - and I only heard of ta-da lists from you, Cheery!

    I've done the mystery shop, and I'm shoving books and bookcases around to prepare for when the builders come in, tho heaven only knows when that will be.

    And I came across an amazing article from Spare Rib, must have been printed in the late 70s, which is still good today. Mind you, the policy on adverts is.... interesting. Listen to this:

    "no ads at all accepted from individual men looking for women as contacts or clients. We reserve the right to refuse any ad which we construe to be sexually, emotionally or materially exploitative. Ads will continue to be accepted from mixed households and workplaces. The only ads we will now accept from men looking for men are those from anti-sexist men's groups or their publications."

    _pale_ That told them then .....

    Hi Taxi - I was just about to head on over to yours, I saw you'd just posted.

    Ta-da: imagine Morecambe and Wise or someone like that doing a soft shoe shuffle step and looking at the camera and saying "ta-da"! Its like, look, I bet you never thought of this, isn't this great" - that kind of thing, the initials don't stand for anything....

    You're welcome Taxi - it took me a while to work out what it was too ....

    KK - I didn't realise it kept going that long, I though Spare Rib only belonged to *my* youth, not yours too!

    Just done the paid work of the day - still got to input the m/s from earlier, I'll do that early evening, right now I might do a little bit of chopping stuff up in the garden (or even painting in the kitchen :eek:) as I have that coaching call at 5pm :(

    See you later peeps

    :D

    I am a bad, bad person who is not a good fit for the Rich Dad Poor Dad programme because I don't listen :cool:

    The fact that after 40 minutes he wouldn't tell me how much the coaching programme cost, and deflected every other concern I had (e.g., me: my preference is for written information. Him: " we don't do classrooms"), that kind of stuff was a bit of a deal breaker for me.

    I'm obviously an evil witch that wants to stay poor, because I don't want to say yes to paying an unknown amount of money at the end of the phonecall.

    I'd really like to make £1.5 million in 18 months, but I'm also really unsure that leveraging the banks money from absolutely nothing for huge great property deals is the way to do it. It would certainly make *them* rich, from my fees, but thats another story :rotfl:

    Oh, the other thing he said - he knew I wouldn't be a good fit for the programme right from the start, because I said at the beginning that the interview was mutual, that I was interviewing them as much as they were interviewing me "and we don't need help". Um, being interviewed isn't the same as being helped - its being asked to explain yourself. The quality of the conversation was not high ...

    I *do* feel a bit like an evil witch, but in a really *good* way :D
