Memorygirls - Make Do and Mend

That's good then! Good luck with your PGCE - my tip is to be very organised and to do everything to a 'good enough' standard as there quite simply isn't time to be any more thorough than this. What subject are you teaching?

Thank you for your lovely words. I will take heed of you, Firewalker and Natty. Perhaps this is why the universe sent me to this thread!

As for your "decision" I am so pleased that you have come to this decision. Benefits are only ever a short term safety net, they can help you back on your feet and some people take longer than others to rediscover that strength and confidence to move on. I feel so excited for you.
I also think that your idea for the book is an excellent one. I think that Troglodytes idea is a good one if you are trusting enough as every single penny will count for you if you are going to follow your heart and your passion.

Thanks for the advice. It does sound like I'll have a lot on my plate.

I'll be teaching maths, which should be easy because all kids loooove maths don't they?

Correct! MG, you worked it out for yourself - which BTW is one of the laws of the Universe. I briefly considered telling you but did not dare do so - I just sent complementary messages to the Universe.

The Universe was also saying 'Don't be afraid! As it is, the situation you are in is more scary that what you want to do. Don't let this distract you from what should be your main aim - independence.' Now I would like to remind you that there are two stages of independence: 1) off benefits; 2) create passive income streams.

Good luck.

:rotfl::rotfl: Firewalker - that is the nicest way that anyone has ever told me "I told you so" :rotfl::rotfl:

MG, funnily enough shortly after sending you the PM I came up with the same idea myself, so it must be the way forward!
I'm not too sure about the strictness of board etiquette so it might be best to PM the link, or else we could just send our addresses and you could post us the book with your account details (if you trust us!) or paypal account and we could send the money that way, that would save you something in Amazon fees (and you'd get the money quicker probably too). You're right, it's a win-win situation :j

aaaarghhh!!!!!!!!!! that is such a simple and elegant solution - why do we always try and complicate things?????????

i will look for a stash of suitable envelopes tomorrow and start posting as soon as I can ............... so anyone who wants one pm me and i will send you one with much love.

Still lurking, still flaming pregnant :eek::rotfl:Keep getting the house into a wonderful place to have the baby: fresh flowers, clean floors, full cupboards, fresh cakes that kind of thing. Having loads of contractions/signs that labour is due any time then nothing happens Even the midwife said I'm miles off after she, er, had a rummage yesterday

I love how positove this thread is, really cheers me up.

aw!!! courgette i thought the wee one would have shown its face by now - i've even had ds1 asking if the gherkin is here yet??? cos sometimes i fill him in on the interesting people that meet up on here.

i wonder if her ever finds it odd when i start a conversation with "firewalker says ..................":cool:

thinking of you this evening and sending you both thoughts for a comfortable and peaceful nights sleep and a perfectly timed arrival.

Does your hubby know that you have several hundred virtual doulas on here???

Ha ha! Don't worry, it's not my real name! :cool: It's a character from a book. And I am well aware the kids will be googling me, that's why I've changed all my facebook privacy settings! There are some photos and such that I definitely wouldn't want unleashed! :eek:

Had a wander through some of my photos - there are far too many of me with a glass of champagne in my hands :rotfl:

privacy settings now amended - many thanks

Wow MG - things do move quickly when you're around! I was last reading about 24 hours ago, I think...
