    I got a pm from him yesterday about the printshop link he posted but he's not been on the board for a while.
    Neither has lost prophet, looks like I may be the only guy in the village.lol
    no hurry for your ideas.
    I had another midnight madness last night but I'm going to have to keep a lid on it for the time being until I get the domain names sorted. My wife (female) has suggested not to rush head strong into too many at once but focus on main objective then reassess but I'm on a roll and can't stop my creative juices flowing. (thanks to you guys)
    Also, she has just text me to tell me in this months pay she is to get a 10% of her annual salary paid as a bonus. Yippe kai ay.
    That will sort us out for a couple of hundred towards our butlins holiday in may and pay off one of the unsecured debts completely.
    Would like to: Retire at 54. 19yrs .Clear mortgage by 50. 16yrs. Clear Secured debts by 43. 8yrs.Clear Unsecured debt by 39. 4yrs. Gain full control of my finances by 36. 1yr.Keep my head above water. Today.

    Lol Cagne!!!!
    Jo - I am alright just trying to be really mindful, positive thoughts, and relaxation. I got into a bit of a tizz because I broke my blog - I was doing something technical and it went a bit Pete Tong. But, I am making it my aim to be gentle with myself and just to be as calm as possibe. I have a busy week ahead - got some freelance graphics work, and nervous and excited as I have a client meeting with a Bride later on today. I will let you know how it goes.
    I will make sure that I get back into my meditation/yoga routine - I always feel so much better when I check in with myself. Also, need to stick to my to do list too, I am breaking the tasks down into smaller parts so I don't overwhelm myself. Not that this has got big quickly... but the reality compared to the dream is always different. I keep wanting to pinch myself as I have suprised myself this year!!!
    How about you Jo? How is Joprah today?
    Mabel - I will choose again soon x How is the pr going by the way??

    Cagne - Good news about the wife's bonus. But, she is right one bit at a time otherwise you will overwhelm yourself; and you will stop enjoying this project.

    Cagne - suggest getting a ring binder or techy computer equivalent if you don't do that manual writing stuff.
    Have a section with plenty of paper for each of your ideas.
    Concentrate on one idea till its got up and going well or choose 2 or 3 ideas but allocate specific time to each idea. When you are working on a particular project and ideas for your other projects pop into your head. quickly jot them down in the relevant section and then leave them till its time for that project.
    Don't stop your creative juices - just manage them.

    Joprah is tired but enjoying having DH off as the kids really love it and means I get a bit of slobbing time or to be more accurate -dribbling time.
    Know what you mean about the being mindful and taking time for checking in. have let a lot of that go myself as well and just trying to find a realistic way forward.
    I love your blog btw was just reading it again earlier. It really brightens things up. very inspiring even though I am already married. just love reading about and seeing pics of other peoples creativity.

  • Cagne - love you idea, I really do, just think I will be a bit useless! Been trying to think of things that I could contribute!

    Wayne PM'd me too last night, so he is here somewhere!

    OK, half an hour ago, the gas man came for his annual inspection, and he said "you have a gas leak on your boiler, but to be honesat it could be anyway, so I am going to leave it, unless it gets worse" Well thats filled me with confidence! What does he class as worse? We all die? Think I am going to phone the agancy, oh no wait, I can't, the phone is completely !!!!!!ed after the incident with the fish tank!

    Then 2 mins ago, a delivery driver turns up here, "Are you expecting a fish tank?" "No" "Mr. Morgan?" "What the hell has he ordered now?" So I have ANOTHER HUGE great big fish tank sitting in the hall way I AM GOING TO KILL HIM!!! He is out at sea, so he has no phone signal, so I can't even call him and go nuts! I know what he has done and I am not happy! He thought the tank was leaking to begin with, not the skimmer, so he phoned to tank place and they said if it was the tank, they would send him a replacement. He has told them tank is leaking and now we have TWO yes TWO huge things, I am going to walk out, I have had enough, WHY oh WHY does he have to play with FISH!

    ok, I am done, I am going to go find something to smash, frustared doesn't quite cover it!

  • I have a few words that I would call him, and funnily enough, astounding isn't one of them!

    I am not having it in this house, it is going on EBay, I don't care I am putting my foot down.

    Hope you got enough sleep Jo, sorry!

    Hey M and P don't apologise for ranting. could you use it as book storage or a cabinet for car booting or some other such use. You could fill it up with books and then thank him sweetly for getting it for you. can you imagine his face when he could see it but not use it.
