Can you get a glass of wine and a nice big notepad and do a spider diagram/whatever they're called now, might be a start? Why do you want the job/

good idea, I think it is just harder as I feel total rubbish, been very low and very stressed. Normally words are something I am never a loss for and i adore writing! Maybe tomorrow will be a bit better

Thank you for all the advice and support, just been very discouraged as of late!

Might be best to go to bed with a Lemsip then hope you feel better soon hon and don't worry, it'll work out, you sound as though you're very hard-working, you'll get there xx

heheh lemsip and I have been best friends the past two days! Will take another one to bed in a little while along with the laptop and might try and do a bit of writing or at least drafting tonight! I like the idea of breaking it down a bit. Cant believe I am nervous writing something

munchki - whenever I get stuck for words I calm myself by doing a mind map of the broad areas I want to include and ideas that stem from them. I don't need to think how to express it as I am not actually writing the piece. It helps calm me and then I find it easier to get going on the actual piece.
It works for me and might help you (or not;))

just a quick one, although I've not finished reading all the posts I've missed

Hales - I really like the commitment board, it helps me keep track of what I need to do as well as providing some inspiration from other people's ideas

That is a really good thought, thank you. I seem to have about 20 diff things running through my mind at the same time and does feel a bit muddled.

Now I know why I love this board so much! Can i adopt you all pretty please?

Mind map, that's it! All I ever remember is you're not supposed to call it a brain storm anymore. Good luck Munchki

Munchki - a couple of other ideas.
Do you have enough information that you can actually think about and imagine what it would be like working there?
Can you spend sometime visualising what your working day/ week would be like, the type of work, environment etc and notice what makes you feel good about it and note it down. Then choose the bits that are appropriate and develop them some more as part of your "why you want to work there"
When you are doing the imagining jot anything down without thinking whether it is useful or not and then afterwards do the weeding out..
Also on these lines maybe brainstorm(i know its the wrong term) on other reasons you want the job (doesn't have to be reasons you think they want to hear) just get it all out. as mad and bizarre as you want. it might make you laugh or cry or both and might just loosen up the writing bit of you.

I think in this instance, it really will have to be why I want the job and how and what I really feel and think, certainly not a situation of what I think they want to hear as dont think it would last two seconds in the real world so to speak. I have a 10 page job spec to work with and lots of info I have been reading etc, lots of things in my own mind as well so yes, think a bit more *brainstorming* is in order. think will sleep on it tonight and then just write tomorrow and then tweak.

heheh thank you, feeling calmer now

The next time you put something on with a BIN, whether its auction or straightforward BIN, there is a box to tick when you create the listing that says "Require immediate payment for BIN". This prevents people from buying unless they pay for it right away.

There seems to be a lot of folks who buy then don't like the idea of paying!

Mambury and Truly, thanks for your advice re my BIN non-payer! I didn't notice a tick box, or I would have gone for it, but I'll definitely remember this for next time, cheers Truly. In fact, can I edit my remaining BIN auctions - they end tomorrow night?

Alyssa, well done! Every little bit helps, I have yet to actually sign up for Bingo, so I might have to look at that too just to make my earning look every so slightly better than they are!

I've taken the plunge and arranged to buy some things via Gumtree tomorrow, for resale on eBay, so fingers crossed I haven't made a complete booboo with my choice! I'll get them listed tomorrow night with the other bits I've readied so no mucking around. I've still to look at turbolister, but as I understand it, I could put my eBay bits on there gradually and it'll save it as I go along? Or have I got it completely wrong?

Btw, what on earth is wrong with calling a brainstorm a brainstorm these days??
