Daffy's 'a nice cup of tea cheers you up' diary

Cheery_Daff

Ooops, meant to tell ou what I've been up to! :rotfl:

Spend the last hour reading, digesting and making a pretty mind map of an article I was told to read for PhD revisions :j Understand it much better now than if I'd have just read it and made ordinary notes! :j Just off to colour it in :rotfl:

Missy moo, how about a mini challenge?? Why don't you get a little piece of paper, and some cheery coloured pencils, and sit on the sofa with your tea and blanket and make a mini mind map of all the things you think you 'should' or want to get done this evening. Get back in here at 8pm, and I will too, and then we'll see what you can get on with actually doing :T

Right, off to do my colouring in! :j

Can I just point out that you are posting on an internet forum, which is fairly cool...

And, anyway, who cares? The Good Life is great

Cheery_Daff

Missy moo - NO! Can't you see from the evidence in this very thread that tea, good life and knitting patterns IS young and trendy??? I am only 30 myself and consider myself Very Trendy Indeed (and most definitely YOUNG!) :rotfl:

lol, thank you I dont feel quite so sad and old now. and obviously posting on here is very cool.

right mind map, not sure how to do that yet, got MGs book coming, but i can draw a spider diagram so i will do that and draw lots of legs off etc..... oh dear... just realised i dont own any colour pencils, does that make me sad again??!!

missymoo81

oooh I do have highlighters though... right spider diagram.....

Cheery_Daff

Highighters is cheery, and spider diagram will do for now! Very similar - mind maps just have one key word per line, and more colours and pictures! (although I'm sure MG will tell you there's more to it than that!)

Anyway, 8pm - how did you get on???

I've finished my colouring in :rotfl: and tidied the bedroom a bit, put some washing on, and got changed ready to go for a run! :j Oh, and put the heating on cos it's freeeeeezing and I'll be freezing too when I get back! :rotfl:

So then MissyMoo, what's on your list??

missymoo81

Oh my goodness I have just done my version of what I think a mind map thingy is, and I have to say I'm inspired!

really DO need to get off my backside and ebay stuff, as this is where it all starts, decluttering, to make some money, to pay for my OU, making a better studying environment so I can be a teacher!!!! Simple!

Right gonna grab a cuppa and get on with it!

missymoo81

oh also in that time i made some cereal and a cuppa and had a chocolate biscuit!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent stuff! :j :j :j Very cheery seeing it all written down and colourful isn't it?? :j So what are you doing now, getting a bag of stuff together to Ebay?? Good on you! Don't get bogged down in trying to sort out drawers and cupboards too! :eek: (I know that's what I do! :rotfl:)

I'm off out for a run and will come back via the shops to get milk (can't have pancakes for breakfast without milk! :rotfl:) When I get back I'll get changed, sort out my pesky taste radar stuff (keep putting it off!) and then will be back here for 9pm
