    My OH and I are still writing our perfect weeks a little bit each night. I would never have believed it is such a powerful tool. It has brought up many issues that we have here in the now and enabled us to talk a little bit about them. My OH has been experienced 'burn out' from his job and he is worried that his creativity and passion are gone for good. I didn't really realise that he was feeling this. Imagining together just these little fragments in a way based on our memories is a good start I think. It is incredibly liberating, but you also do have to lay bare your hopes and therefore your fears. Anyway thanks Mr Big :j

    that is a brilliant idea - might sit down with ds1 ans see what his perfect week would look like.

    - i'm also off to add some duvet days into my week as well having been recommended by you guys. Still waiting for Mr byrne to respond to my invite though -:rotfl:

    well, i think he was expecting me to come back with "hello wembley!!!!!!" :rotfl::rotfl: but actually what i plumped for was

    1. the eden project - just because how fantastic would that be speaking in those biomes????

    2. in a big museum where they run one of those "night in the museum events" - you know where the kids come in , they attend a presentation, get fed pizza and pocorn, watch a movie and sleep in their sleeping bags in the museum overnight.

    that would be cooler than a cool thing on - erm! cool :rotfl::rotfl:

    and ds1 would think i was the bestest mum on the planet ever.

    thing is i do't know which of the museums run these programmes - so does anyone know??? i think it could either be the natural history museum or the science museum:D

    Wow, look at you in the space of a week - you are SOARING!!! :T:T:T

    I did laugh at "Hello Wembley" - are you sure you can't give that a go?! :D
    (Maybe just hang on for Madison Square Garden next year eh?! ;))

    Thank you MG & friends for your energy & inspiration. I have read The Secret & am feeling very positive & a bit excited too.

DS is 15 & struggling with GCSEs this year, I'm hoping this may help. This site rocks!!!!

  • the weather cannae make up its mind what it wants to do - i have rescued my washing three times now, so if its not dry, its never gonna be.

    but the good news is that i have worked out how much i think i still owe the big horse bank on the personal guarantee. this of course doens't include any interest that they may be charging because i can't get a straight answer or a statement out of them. Anyways the good news is that my original £10,000 now sits at £3911.75 - or 12 monthly payments of £330 :j:j

    so whilst i was in a great mood i decided to complete one of mr b's tasks that he sent me. He asked me to imagine the two places i would most love to present a seminar - and although they have to be in the uk - the more unusual the better.

    well, i think he was expecting me to come back with "hello wembley!!!!!!" :rotfl::rotfl: but actually what i plumped for was

    bTW - three weeks ago i was wondering if i could find a few kids and teach them at my kitchen table - amazing what happens when you broaden your horizons.:j:j:j

    Off to do the school run and othe rmummy stuff.

    Hi MG,

    The Natural History Museum do night events, we get email invites periodically. I think the sealife centres do them too.

    I love the idea of a seminar in the Eden Project, one of my most favourite places.

    What about The Royal Observatory Planetarium, you know the Universe connection? :rotfl:
