    Good afternoon,

    Just got back from doing my stall at the farmers market, I'm very please on how well it went :)

    Kitchen is coming along well, there is some paint on the walls now too:) the tiles still need a second coat of spray too.

    still have no idea how i'm going to furnish the window or clean the blinds yet though.

    Glad you had a good day

    Try some mild bleach solution and a nailbrush or old toothbrush on the blinds - i've got some cream ones that always come up a treat.

    Hi Memorygirl,

    I doubt scaring you was the intention - it is true. I already mentioned that even in my field the top people can get up to £55-60,000 for a key note. Include some preparation time - this is still hell of a lot per hour. What is different about them is that they have, without exception, written a best-seller.

    It is possible - even more importantly you could do it. But it is more likely to get there if you really open your mind to this possibilities. Is there any exercise in the personal development tool box that helps you started aiming higher and thinking bigger (sorry I am new to this trade)?

    I have a feeling that's where he's heading - he was skirting around earlier, but I think he is nipping my excuses in the bud one by one before really throwing down the guantlet iYSWiM.

    if they can do it - so can i. After all we all have the same amount of hours in the day don't we????

    Actually if anyone out there has figured out how to get more hours in the day - well THERE is your best-seller :rotfl::rotfl:

    Excuse the sporadic postings this afternoon- but i am teaching a 2 year old how to use scissors and its pretty funny watching the look of concentration on his face:rotfl:

    Ermm, how do I ask the universe for a computer again? Do I write it on a piece of paper and stick it up somewhere ? Do I specify a date by which I want these things? I've got a bit of a list forming here, lol

    Have you got a copyof "the secret" on your bookshelves?? could you borrow one from your library?? Trust me it will be one of the most interesting reads you will have had this year.

    thats where we all started - actually come to think of it - thats probably what started all of this - :D

    Wow - I see what you mean from his letter. I reckon if you aim for £400k then you will definitely meet the lower target and, knowing you, will meet the higher target too. :D
