MG - I know you asked for amazon reviews a while back but a though I just have - although it may have already be done is since you can add pics to your amazon review - whether people felt brave doing a mindmap of your book and then taking a pic and posting it - so then people can see your book in action so to speak. Not sure if its the same for other review sites.

I'm not sure I mentioned it in my PM's but he wouldn't have seen those anyway, surely?! :eek:

I've been reading through and catching up as I turned up late to the party but I'm all caught up now (although it's a challenge at the rate you lot post, I thought Hypno's thread was bad enough!)

I'll PM my details and you can get in touch when you are ready.

GA everyone, just in from work and playing catch up on the thread (again lol). Hope everyone is well (Claire feeling better). Havent got anything to report except that most of my decluttering is upto date.
With reference to the future I have absolutely no diea what I want to do, except that i never want to be in a call centre again. Noooooooooooooooo. So I guess its just exploring avenues until I find the right niche for me.
The only thing I know for sure is that other half and i will be getting married in 2011 and while thats exciting, I want to be doing something thats useful and productive too.
So still wuthering through options.
Have a great day everybody.
I really need to track down a copy of the Secret and read it too

Hey there ladies... just popping in on a moment when my work life is not overtaking every blooming other thing in my life!

MG - Well done on getting through Day 1. It seems Day 2 is shaping up really well too! Good on ya! I bet it was a great feeling.

Clairewop - Get better soon and don't do too much too soon. The bug that is going around is a real stinker.

OliveOyl - I have some football shirts promised to me... I just need to organise when I can pick them up. Hope plans for somewhere to ship them are shaping up okay. I have not had time to read all the messages, so I might be behind the times somewhat!

Right then... can I ask for some help please? I have been re-reading the Secret and especially the section about health and losing weight. I get what they are trying to say, that if you dwell on weight all the time then it will come to you... with chums for company. I am proof positive of that! However... the bit that I am really stuck with is the bit about loving yourself as you are and accepting that this is how you are and now you want to be healthy and not as heavy. The problem I have is that I keep getting glances of myself in mirrors (I do the best to avoid the bloody things) and I loathe what I see. I am HUGE. I don't feel positive about myself or my shape or my body because I am huge and fat and not pretty and I feel like a walking humpback whale... except without the figure definition. How on earth do you feel positive about your body and your image if you loathe the sight of it?! I really need this attempt at getting healthier and fitter to work... and I can't see how i can get past this. Ideas on a postcard....!

What has really prompted this was some photographs I saw of myself taken on a recent weekend away. OH MY GOODNESS. I am DISGUSTED with myself. And I keep seeing that in mirrors...and I HATE it.

Ooh Fantasia, how exciting to have a whole world of possibilities open to you! :T

((((claire)))))) hope you're feeling a bit better now x

MG! Don't you feel chastised Feel enthused! You've now got a list, somebody (well, lots of us!) rooting for you! :j :j And an achievable list of things to do today - which will lead to a fabulous sense of satisfaction at the end of it - well done you! :j

Hope everyone's having a productive day today. Lots of thinking going on here. The complete wibbliness I've had the past couple of weeks (which I'm now over :j) has made me think about a few things (the first conclusion of which was that I think about things TOO MUCH sometimes! :rotfl:)

Anyway - so while right now I don't feel able to stick up a poster and give myself as a contact for collecting football shirts I CAN and WILL ask a friend whose husband and son play and love football if they have any shirts, and I CAN ask her if she'll ask round at football practice :j I'll see her tonight, so I'll do just that. And I CAN and WILL post both Kits for Kids and Claire's jewelry site on my facebook thing, so I'll do that later today.

AND - on the 'taking care of business' side of things - I CAN and WILL sit down and focus and write for 4 hours today. That's my manageable amount at the moment, ALL of it focused and concentrating, internet off, phone off, and I'm getting far more done than I was when I spent the whole day staring at it and getting distracted every five minutes, then feeling guilty when I did something else

Oh, and my 100 days, I didn't start at the same time as you, but I DID say that I would have my PhD finished in 100 days - which ended on 26th November! :eek: If I carry on at my current rate I might even get there! :eek:

I read that and felt as if I was being kicked - so can imagine how you felt having to answer him.

I know - sometimes they are harsh!! but mostly spot on - they take no prisonners and accept no excuses:eek:

I know when I did my big weight loss, one of the first things I did was buy some new clothes that made me look the best I could at the size I was. You don't have to lose weight to have a free makeup makeover either. It did help me feel happier and more confident in myself when dieting. I didn't like the weight I was etc., but I did like making the best of what I was at that point in time.

So when you see yourself in the mirror, why not say did I put the best thing I could on this morning to make me look good. Is my makeup & hair good. Look at the positives you see and make the most of them, not just the negatives.

I know the buying clothes doesn't sound moneysaving, but if it helps give you the increased self confidence it might be worth it.
