    ?????????????????? Mentor has just phoned ........................... to say he will phone back at 12????????????????

    I've got 2 hours to come up with a WIN-WIN solution to

    "Pay for OliveOyl to get the strips to SA without paying for it yourself (I would if I could Hon:D)

    You can use anything you currently have - and the people in your Matrix and who they can connect you to - but you are not allowed to ask someone else to pay for it directly.

    Come up wth a strategy that will pay OliveOyls airfreight - Oh! and whilst you are at it - gather the last of the money to pay off the bank.

    I want this strategy to be immediate - in fact challenge you to have the moey collected by Tuesday evening for a very important coaching call"


    :eek::eek::eek::eek:

    OK I know I am being dim - because a challenge like this means that the Mentors are seeing something that is right in front of my eyes - only I can't see it yet.:cool:

    Off to swish n swipe and seek inspiration in the botom of a cat litter tray

    Ok Coffee break :)

    House wasn't as bad as I thought, so hasn't taken me long so far, I have a nice clean kitchen apart from the worktop behind the door (got plastic containers all over it, need to wait for dh to come home and put them away (there's a certain way they go in and I can't do it with 1 arm)

    Living room done floor swept throws tidied, just a few bits of clothes to go upstairs and windowsill uncluttered :) I'm getting there again :)

    Wow MG.. good luck! I'm sure you're right that the answer is here somewhere :)

    I think you lot are rubbing off on me (ahem :rotfl:).. I'm not naturally the most positive of thinkers (OK that is a huge understatement), but you have inspired me to do a lot of thinking about what I want out of life and how to get it.

    Two things I have been doing lately are picking up on my Philosophy studies, and getting some experience of mentoring and training/ teaching. I'd really love to combine the two - one of the things I've been doing is a bit of online teaching, and my ideal would be to teach something like A level Philosophy online (I have long term plans which I rambled about in my diary a while ago to spend at least part of my time working from home). Anyway, I've been struggling to think how to get any experience of the two together. Yesterday, I had a message from someone on a music forum which I used to use frequently, but have drifted away from - I mentioned something about Philosophy on there ages ago, and he'd found it while searching for something else. This guy is in the US, 19 years old and studying Philosophy in college. He'd had a few ideas that he thought I'd be able to help him expand on, going by some things I'd posted (amusingly he thought I was a professor, so I had to put him right there :rotfl:)... so, a few emails later, we've agreed that he can bounce ideas off me - he's sending me his preliminary ideas for an essay and I'm asking him questions about them, giving him ideas for further reading etc- he happens to have picked up on an area that I know a fair amount about!

    I really can't believe that this has come along just as I was looking for this sort of experience.

    *goes off muttering something about the Universe* :D
