PM has been sent

I used mind maps this year for my university maths exams. I bought a Tony Buzan book. It was quite hard applying the technique to maths, because maths is all about theorems and proofs and long strings of symbols, rather than single words that represent ideas if you know what I mean? But I did my best and they helped me A LOT in my exams. I did much better this year than last year when I used boring revision methods. So I'd LOVE to learn more.

Wow - look how much activity happens when you pop of to bed early with a book.:D

the boys and i are going nattypants hunting in a moment (ds1 has £5.00 of birthday money and is looking for a treat for them both and a brithday present for his best friend)

Be back at lunchtime to sort out all responses - but believe me i am sailing out of here on cloud nine feeling like with a new cartridge of ink for my printer I could really get going with a plan for a new business.

Looking a bit squeaky to get everything organnised for the end of the 100 days - but wouldn't that be so fabulous if i could get there???

Hope you all have a fabulous productive morning - especially courgette:rotfl:

See you all later

Hey everyone

So pleased for you MG. Enjoying very much lurking here. Can I have a book link too please

nattypants

Hi MG and friends:)

Well the car-boot sale was windy-city.....however managed to return with £30 profit, one large jar of piccalilli, one large jar of dill pickles, one mahoosive cucumber which is obviously a marrow masquerading as cucumber! oh...and for those of you who have expressed interest in a nifty wee study resource number....one FABULOUS book:D:D:D

MG - this book is GENIUS, I tried the link memory system with my DD who "cannot remember the period table elements, I don't need to know these...blah blah blah" oh, guess what? she could easily recall the first ten elements after reading your periodic table story:T Oh and by the way......despite being shocking at Chemistry all those years ago at school I now know the first ten elements also:p

***UNASHAMED SALES PITCH***For everyone who buys a copy, I pinkie-promise you that your money will be well, well spent:D:D:D

Finally to MG - your sons are an absolute credit to you - wee charmers, and I can see that when the time is right FOR YOU, you will be snapped up by Mr. Soul-Mate Extraordinaire (that sounds like a pimp's name...but I'm sure you know what I mean;)).

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the book, chat, pickles, piccalilli, mahoosive cucumber and coming to see me on a proper windy (and chilly!) day:)

ps. Clootiesmum, I was thinking of you today and wondered if I might have bumped into you also...alas not to be;)

Hi MG and everyone not been around for a while but have now caught up. I would be interested in buying a book from you MG.

Not sure if you are aware but under the circs of whats happend 2u with TC u may qualify for a crisis loan thru the job centre. I know this would mean having 2apply and would need 2b paid back but it is your entitlement to do so espec under the circs.

You are a real inspiration.

Hi mg and all others.
I have read this thread from start to finish and absolutely love it.:j
MG you are such an inspiration and I so wish I could be like you. I would love one of your books as I am also a trainee teacher. I only have one final SE placement to do:eek:, which I had to defer due to illness. So with any luck I should be qualified by christmas. (I obviously need to read the secret so that I can say I will be qualified.):)
I have began to change my ways beginning with a slow cooker and a bread maker (from a charity shop.) I have a dairy intolerance so I cook everything from scratch anyway, but i can now also cook bread.
I love your recipes and will be cooking stovies on tuesday for dinner mmm cant wait.
Anyway thanks for listening and keep up the inspirational diary:T
xx

Hi MG and everyone, I'm back in the "real world" after 2 weeks holiday and catching up on all the good things that have been going on, lots of positivity on this thread

Random ramblings for MG:

[STRIKE]
1. Pickled cucumber recipe please - I lurve pickled anything
[/STRIKE] recipe noted, thanks so much!!
2. Not sure if this would be helpful to you and your budgeting, but us single parents are entitled to get tax credit payments weekly, I find it ultra helpful. Hope the tax credit situation has been sorted for you now.......

3. Can you do any training for people who "need" to do a qualification to get them to a position where they can hopefully get to start chasing their dreams?? I have been putting off doing something for years and it's stupid, I just have a mental block in the subject...

ANyway, will carry on catching up, I know I should be sleeping as I want us to make the most of my last day before going back to work/getting DD ready for school at the end of the week etc etc, but this is more interesting to me

Aaaaaargh, after being on the St Malo ferry all day today, I'm still swaying inside and can't sleep Thank goodness we had a cabin, bless DD for stroking my hair and cuddling me when I felt ropey on and off and darn her for being constantly hungry for 9 hours!

Going to re-read The Secret and PM you MG for the book. Loving your positivity during the benefit stress and wow to the new opportunity that's opening up for you!
