I'm beginning to wonder if Mike has a bed fetish.......

I don't think so. (One of the few I don't have, actually!) It's more that I LOVE good design. I also have a thing about furniture and interior design.

I got to wondering whether 'fetishes' (not necessarily sex ones) were a male thing or if women did too. I knew a woman who kept the rubber end of a walking stick in her handbag and sniffed it occasionally during the day. She liked the smell of rubber. A lot. Pretty tame I guess given the state of the world.

So I Googled the subject of women and fetishes.

Hint: don't Google the subject. Trust me on this.

That's very interesting Mike and if your nuts I totally approve.:A

I don't think Sunday nights have any particular connotations for me I think for me the anticipation of something is better than the implementation but I am not sure where that has come from I think I probably need to think about this a bit more

The only thing that initially comes to mind is that I really enjoyed the training for my career - but I didn't enjoy the job - I think I am still looking for my role in life which at 51 and 25 years of marriage and almost 20 years of being a mother is a bit worrying - although after the announcements the other day I have another 15 years before retirement

When MG posted about CVs earlier my first thought was one of horror I wouldn't want to go back to my old job even if I could:eek: - I like helping people but I would also like to be rich (so shallow:o) and the two in my experience so far are incompatible. Oh well my CV so far is I am loyal and honest but totally in a fog as to where I am going. OK that is quite enough self analysis for one night.

Just logging on briefly having done most of my packing for my trip.

DT - the contact I gave you - it did occur to me that if they have a FB group we could get them to link to the Kits for Kids one to show they are supporting it, and possibly put something on their website too. Let me know how it goes while I'm away - I may not be able to get on here, so if anything exciting happens please email me!

I'm incredibly impressed with everything that's been happening... although I don't think I'll be able to keep up over the next few weeks!

I will investigate that and will keep you updated when will you be back?

But exactly here my friend, I believe, you are wrong. Not shallow at all and I believe that these are fully competible - you can get rich helping people at the same time and help them much more after you are rich.

I spent ages thinking about all this and rationalising it, and feeling guilty about admitting the 'shallow' bit - but then here we are. I want the same - but I em determined to get there by supporting many people on the way.

So I am writing my CV - this way all will know what they can expect (and worry about the unexpected).

I'm going out on a limb here, but I don't believe anyone feeling sad, or 'depressed' can claim they don't know why they are. I'd suggest we all know very well what is making us unhappy, but we have been round and round the problem in our minds and haven't found an answer we like, so we prefer to make out it isn't the cause and that the whole thing's a total mystery!

That would mean we had to do something about the problem.

I can completely understand why you might have enjoyed the training period but disliked the job. The two are utterly different.

There are some 'confession sites' on t'internet which can be a bit weird, but there's no doubting the catharsis of putting down on paper/screen something which you might not feel you want to share with everyone. Or anyone. It will be there forever, and it might be the first time you have ever told anyone what the problem is, including yourself.

Hi everyone. I don't want to hijack this forum but desperately want some help and have made quite a lengthy post on my diary. This forum moves so quickly I was worried about losing the plot if I posted here. So if anybody is so inclined an willing to advise please have a look at my post...

I'm having a dilemma about patchwork living, maximising my income and still putting my kids first. Matrix to the rescue!!

I first read that as saying if you had money you wouldn't be able to help people. The Secret Millionaire in the background puts the bubble in that idea.

Then I saw that you probably meant you can't see how you would get rich helping people. Isn't that precisely what MG is doing in front of our eyes? Isn't that how almost every business succeeds?
