Hi all,

couple would have contacted their solicitor and I would receive THAT call...instead my thoughts to the good ol' Universe have been "why haven't I received an offer??" and of course the good ol' Universe has translated this to....not receiving an offer........:o

On the plus side a colleague of a colleague of a colleague (confused???!) handed me some special scent which you spray before prospective buyer come round and it does its magic stuff by convincing the buyer to buy:D:D:D

:ASending good vibes for a GREAT week to all:A

Hi Nattypants,

sorry to hear about the buyers but you are right about the law of attraction - it does not distinguish between what you want and what you don't; it delivers what you mention. So thinking this way is a great mastery to achieve.

As to the aromas that sell houses I have heard that the smell of high quality espresso coffee and freshly baked bread work any time.

The Universe is with you

Hi all,

Looks like pretty mixed fortune week (or start to the week) for many of us;) sooooo......I thought you might like this Secret Scroll;

Each of us is attracting in every moment of our lives. So when you feel that the law isn't working for you because you don't have what you want, realise that the law is responding to you. You are either attracting what you want or you are attracting the absence of what you want.
The law is still working.

This secret scroll has been a nice wee timely reminder as my impatience has been tested. I was so certain the fab house-buying couple would have contacted their solicitor and I would receive THAT call...instead my thoughts to the good ol' Universe have been "why haven't I received an offer??" and of course the good ol' Universe has translated this to....not receiving an offer........:o

The more I think about it the more I think there is something in all this. If I think of all the negative/glass half empty people I know, it seems they do have a lot of misfortune or things not going how they planned. Personally I tend to think that if times are bad things generally work themselves out and I do feel that I have led a fairly charmed life but obviously there have been greater forces at work all along

The bible says "as a man thinks in his heart so is he" - we become what we spend the most time thinking about....

MG sorry today has been tough and I really feel for you on how tight your budget is. You are however very inspiring when it comes to how far you make your food and money stretch - and those packed lunches are awesome! I have been inspired to do some 15 min stretches of housework and it is making the house a better place to be.... so thank you.

Good day Memorygirl, good day all,

MG, straight to your question while my people here are playing table tennis. My feeling is that you will have to develop a proper training course with everything - the presentations, exercises, material, the works. If I were doing this, I would design modules which are easy to reconfigure for different target groups (different age groups included).

If you would like to talk more let me know - I'll send you a message.

Firewalker

scores on the doors are:

The one day mind mapping, memory, speed reading and study skills course has been designed for the following groups.

1. Secondary school students
2. Teacher training
3. further education students (post 16)
4. for professionals (thise who need to work and study at the same time)

essentially the same core course with different excercises, examples and stories to make it relevant.

each individual subject can al so be presented as a seperate stand alone module - although it takes longe to teach seperate sessions than melding it together into one complete day.

Each individual subject also has a one-hour "taster" talk designed to give a flavour of what will be covered.

Is that the kind of thing you mean Firewalker??

Memorygirl

ps would love to talk more with you now that things are less manic:D

Hi
My DD2 is amongst the slightly disappointed, she got BBCC in her AS instead of AABB or even AAAA (one can but dream), it might be something like your course that she would need to help her up a grade. She also has a handful of slightly disappointed friends.

Maybe you should offer it as a weekend course based at a youth hostel or something like that to keep the costs down?
Alternatively my DD goes to a big sixth form college with over 1200 pupils maybe if you contacted them, you could use their premises to offer a Saturday course? I'm sure there would be enough interest to fill it.

Where are you based helen105? Maybe we could arrange something between us to help out your daughter and her "disappointed" friends?

after all - anywhere in the uk is drivable to really, isn't it.

Even better if we could persuade the college to offer it out to a wider range of students too.

Amusingly the board wouldn't let me post the plural of AS. I tried to edit it a few times before I realised what it was objecting to.

that is so funny - even if it did take dyslexic me a few minutes to figure out what they were objecting to:D

Sorry for the triple post, but if it is courses for sixth formers, then it is the parents you need to target more than the teenagers, they are the ones who will be paying for it and the ones who will be worrying about their DCs. Facebook may not be their ideal milieu.

i agree - but also aware that theres a switch over point too. Parents may indeed opt to pay for a course to help their kids crack this learning lark once and for all - but you still have to overcome the "its boring", "its not cool to be smart", "its my time and I don't want to spend it doing more school work" attitude (that, ahem!!! i had as a teenage).

a two pronged approach - so that maybe we even harness a bit of pester power from the student - but more importantly they understand how it would benefit THEM once they attend - is kind of where I'm aiming at - i think:cool:

You've made me so happy! I own 25% of my house which is such a warm and nourishing thought! Bagsy my bedroom. Or if I put my bed in the kitchen I could have the kitchen and bathroom. The bank can have all the bits with damp and condensation. And stains. And cracks.

I'm also very inspired by your packed lunches. I hate packing lunches! What a good idea to bake and freeze - let's see if my kids are as excited.

Just as an extra, I went to a school that taught exam and study/revision techniques which I know from personal experience is more important than the subject matter. I got an A for A-level Business Studies without attending the classes. The school had a 5 A-C pass rate of 100% at GCSE level and I'm sure this is a factor. Good luck with your venture.

thanks rubysewsew - that just makes me even more determined to follow this through.

BTW ds1 loves the baking idea - first thing he was asked this morning as the rest of teh kids came off the school bus was Whats's your mum baked for you today?"

Maybe a business idea in there somewhere for people to pack lunches for our kids en masse - lol
