I have no motivation at the moment even with a big looming deadline coming up for a slight career change

Keep reading/lurking aroud here, the motivation will happen eventually. It's not possible to read such inspiring stories day after day and not feel inspired eventually.

Evening MG and All

Claire I'm glad to hear you put the prices up, your jewels are lovely and worth it. :T My mum makes jewellery to sell at craft fairs so I understand the time, care and patience it takes. Now I just need to nag her into raising her prices. Anyway I hope the universe sends you many sales.

By the way do you have to keep mentioning apple crumble :drool::rotfl:

open them in paint - resave them as jpegs.

They tend to shrink massively x

Who'd a thunk it would be a challenge in itself to find blow bubbles?? The places I thought would have them, haven't, and the local garden centre has abandoned its "kids pocket money spends" section in favour of Christmas tat - yes, already.

However - the inner child did get fed - I always wanted an Advent calendar when I was wee (and never got one). Saw some in the garden centre, so bought three today - 2 to go to my daughters in NZ, as usual but this time also bought one just for meeee!!! And it is a 'proper' Advent calendar, with a Nativity scene, just as it would have been when I was a kid. Not one of those modern cartoon ones with cheap chocolate behind every opening...

I can't tell you the sheer delight in fulfilling such a simple little 'want', it has sprinkled magic dust all over my day :j:j.

my head and heart are absolutely buzzing after my session with the business coach.

and he is so excited about the stuff we pulled out today he is coming back next week to finish the process - just cos he wants to say "I was there" when this takes off:T Big thank you to mr business coach - and big thank you to mr big for arranging the connection too.

the first thing i am charged with is creating some "hands up" lists - lists of people who would be interested in "putting their hands up" to get more information on different stuff we will be doing.

These are not lists of "I want to buy now" - but more a list of "tell me more" iyswim.

So i have created myself a little fill-in sheet and am taking a deep breath before i plunge in here (because all of a sudden this is beginning to get scarily real like all this playing will actually result in me being properly back at work)

So - anyone who is interested in finding out more about the weekend "Student Survival Guide" training courses,please pm me your name and email address - if you are not, but have people around you who are, then pm me their names and email addresses (but please make sure you ask them first because i don't want to get you in trouble when I send out info iyswim).

i don't want to put full details up on the forum obvioulsy because i am pretty certain that would be against the rules as it would be direct advertising.

GULP!!!! As soon as i press this button i am truly committed to getting off benefits and back to work aren't I:eek::eek:

Deep breath memorygirl
