    Congratulations! Word of mouth is a wonderful thing.......
    2023: the year I get to buy a car
  • These tasks from Mr Big are so simple & so good but just SOOOO HARD

    I've settled down into a life that's comfortable & peaceful with a man I love - I've never had to think of the what if you could have anything you want scenario.

    I know DH & I can have a wonderful life but I'm so used to thinking I really want that, but it'll not happen so why get hung up over it I'm having problems deciding what I do want to get hung up over
    I can see I'm going to have to buy some coloured felt tips to mind map & colour in to help me

    but I need a cup of tea - my braincell hurts with trying to think :p

    Catch up later folks

    I'm catching up on the blog, so I'm not on the newest challenge .... I've just done the first draft of an elimination list, and I've cut and pasted the paragraphs from the next post about the perfect week. I'm going to like that one :D

    hi mg - sounds like lots of positives for you today !! I am so pleased for you

    Hello everyone else.... On my must have list is better health and fitness and we joined the gym about 3 weeks ago now and have been lots - but it makes making time for the challenges harder as I already work full time too! ( and have kids ) hopefully I will run out of excuses soon and just get on with it LOL

    The purse and handbag thing was easy but still not done the perfect week one... or the latest one... Also I already have or am working towards my must haves as although I would like other things like more money they are not crucial to me...?

    Glad you had a good day MG, China sounds great.

    I wanted to be an a Marine Biologist when i was younger- all those progs with Jacques Cousto(sp?) Then i wanted to be a Geologist, because i have a passion for the way the earth is shaped and respect for the movement of the earth, plus i rather like rocks- they have a long link with man and the way he has progressed and manipulated his environment- and also an Archaeologist..i think i should go and work for the Coast team, as i could fulfill all my passions at once. Plus get to meet that nice Scots chap.:) Good challenge Mr.Big, i like that one.

    I also realize that by writing about rocks and man- it may well be misinterpreted- in this case no double meaning was meant- but i also see the logic in man being lead by his passion for his rocks. ( apologies for lowering tone slightly)

    I wanted to be a nurse in the military, because I loved the "dress uniform" that the guys wore for formal occasions.

    shallow? Me? Never :rotfl:
