Yes, hands up here identifying with that too Squizz.

Regarding the sarcastic email, he almost certainly knows he was being sarcastic, and is feeling smug about it. Why not drop him a one liner back simply saying "You are quite correct, thank you for pointing this out" - then hold onto your paperwork as the wind rushes out of his sails.....! Later down the line someone else will benefit as he holds back from being sarky again in case he gets a similar response.

Claire - sorry to hear about your arm - just take it easy. Sorry also about your DH's pay - thank goodness you were able to shift from elsewhere to cover the payments out.

Altzheimers is truly a horrible disease. Daff - I identify with Mr Daff's fears too - we lost my Nan to it and it haunts me that I could go the same way. I've always had an atrocious memory but these days when I forget something obvious or that I should know I find myself thinking "oh no!". We used to find that with Nan talking about things a long way back in the past helped, as these areas of her memory appeared to still be quite clear. I think those who have said that the only way of dealing with it is to separate out the person who you used to know from the person they have become. Sometimes though you can cross over - example: When I was little, a favourite day out for Nan and I was to go to London Zoo. We used to go in the winter as Nan always said you saw more as it was quieter, and the animals were more active. When she was getting quite bad with the dementia, I took her for a day out to the zoo as a christmas present - although it was almost a role-reversal, she had an almost 100% lucid day, and Mum commented afterwards that she semed much better and more "with it" for several days afterwards. I'm very proud of that as it wasn't an easy thing to do - I found dealing with her when she was "missing" incredibly hard.

I wouldn't have had the money If The Matrix hadn't stepped in and helped promote the business So I must say thankyou to you all, or We would have ended up with £105 in DD charges just got to get the £100 back off him now lol.

As for the arm it does this to tell me I'm doing too much I just get very frustrated cause I wan't to carry on but my arm don't. Which is good I suppose and why I'm not in a full time job

Claire, I know what it is like to be brought up short by physical limitations - the head and spirit want to carry on but the body won't co-operate!

Best thing is to congratulate yourself for what you do (which is a lot - your jewellery is lovely and no wonder it is selling), and take a bow for no dd charges thanks to all the beautiful items you have made and sold.

Can I be really cheeky and ask someone to summarise this thread in a few sentences? Gherkin born on 12th Sept so have been somewhat distracted

And what's this:

West Leeds if that helps? Unless someone has a suggestion for someplace more central?

MG

It's just I live a couple of miles from here and would be interested to know what's going on here!

Sorry, it's just I don't have time to read right back, Gherkin is a snacker and a snoozer :cool:

Someone will be along soon who can precis, summarize this for you.
The map ref is place where MG will be on her world tour, passing on her wealth of experience in her field. I'm not too hot at cutting a long story short. So over to the next person.:o:eek:

Congratulations on Gherkin btw. x

Courgette - I think this sums most of it up

The new website was supposed to go live at 6pm – and for the last hour I have been sitting at my computer absolutely paralysed with fear.

I don’t know if any of you have read “The One Minute Millionaire” but it was one of the books that Mr Big asked me to read as part of the Mentoring programme after he saw the amazing people that threw their hands up to be part of the Matrix game we are playing.

Towards the end of the book, Michelle has run out of time to raise the one million dollars she needs to get her children back – and the last roll of the dice is an email marketing programme selling places on a seminar run by her mentor and supporter, Sam.

All day today – as we have been finishing the web-page offering out the training events and the books, I have been feeling so nervous, so anxious, so like Michelle in the book. Because I realise that what I’m about to do is perhaps the biggest thing I have ever done in my life – I’m about to claim back a future for me and for my boys by doing the one thing in the world I am most passionate about, giving great people a better future because they are better equipped to learn, unlearn and relearn throughout their lives.

I so wanted to be at this point, cool, calm, collected and confident that the moment I throw the button and go live that sales will come flowing in – but instead here I am making up a post on the hoof and being unsure of what to say – and all the advice Mr Big would give me was, “be honest.”

So I hereby stake a claim for a great future for all of us that have ever been in crippling debt; been left single Moms; wept at seeing their kids do without; scrimped on food so that their families are well fed.

Every one of us that has harboured a secret dream that we are too afraid to share with those around us because that dream is so tender, so fragile that one rough, unsupportive comment would be enough to make it wither up and die.

Every one of us who has spent time standing with our noses pressed against the window of life – and wished we were inside partying with the “happy people”

Every one of us who are brave enough to admit that we too have spent days staring at the pile of ironing – and couldn’t find he energy to pull out the board and set to work.

I claim a better, more prosperous and happier life for us all – because we all deserve it, and so do our families, our friends and our colleagues. The best way for us to bless them is for us to lead the way with grace and, well, a bit of bravery. If that means I am one of the first to climb the mountain, then so be it Universe.

Without the support of the people in this Matrix I would still be sitting looking at my pile of ironing – still stuck on a life of benefits and no future. I am now at least on my own two feet, moving forward and focussing on a better future for my boys. For this each and ever one of you has my heartfelt thanks.

I don’t know whether anyone will book on these courses, because, I’m not a marketing expert and may not have found the right words to attract those 1000 people my way.

But if my conviction that this is a brilliantly powerful thing for people to do holds any sway, then on Monday I will be of benefits and rolling again.

So 50 minutes later than my deadline, and with my heart in my mouth I have pressed the button that means the site is there for all to see. (It’s now listed as my homepage).

If you can find it in your heart to help spread the word, please compose an email introducing who/what I am trying to achieve to the people you know who may love this opportunity and give them a link to the homepage.

· People with children at secondary school, at college or universities.
· Who work in schools or education of some kind
· Or who have great connections with business or networking groups

I hope some of scottishlass’ luck rubs off on me today – because I really feel that the next 48 hours are in the lap of the God’s and the hands of the Matrix.

I’m off to have a cuddle with my boys, a stiff drink and maybe a bubble in the bath after I’ve put them to bed.

I wish you all, all the joy in the world.

+ Clairewop has had a busy time with her website

+ We are taking part in Kits for Kids which aims to provide 10,000 shirts

+ there was a lot of talk about bras for a few pages

+ a bit of talk about Mikes bed

and a lot of love and positivity

Apologies if I've missed anything...I've also not had a chance to catch up it seems that after reading about peoples migraines I ended up feeling rather unwell yesterday and whilst my head has stopped banging I'm still not fully recovered

ace summary!

So the meeting in Leeds is MG teaching her memory mapping skills? 13th of what?

Thanks again

Cheery_Daff

Aw scottishlass, that message made me cry all over again

Congratulations courgette! :T

(((((((claire's arm))))))))) this is why you're working for yourself remember? So you can give yourself a rest when you need it.... Remember that and take advantage!

EH, what a lovely thing to do with your nan, must have been so difficult. There's actually a few people out there doing things like oral history with Alzheimer's patients now, helping them to create maps of their earlier lives to draw on and for people to talk to them about when the disease gets worse. Perhaps this could be something you do with your mum Olive? People seem to remember things from longer ago better than more recent things, and it gives pleasure to all to be able to chat about something, even in the long distant past. I can have a quick scout round for you if you like, I'm reading similar stuff for work at the minute so it'd be useful for me to, just let me know

Triker

Hi all,

well I've taken some action today and spoken to two mortgage advisers. The not so brilliant news for me is that getting a mortgage at the moment appears to be a huge 'no chance'. I will basically need a very large deposit in order to get anything affordable.

So undaunted today marks day 1 of Trikers getting a huge deposit together mission.

Plan B is to look at renting and saving which will be much more difficult but not impossible.

Plan C is sit here, stick it out and save like mad.

So I am not without choices or some shape or form.

At least I know a bit more than I did this morning.

Off to find a notebook and write my fifty day plan out. Plus sort out my Dream Life Picture.

Gemmzie

I really want to attend MG's course, if I'm meant to then the universe will find me a way. I wonder if work would pay for it.... *lightbulb* Must log into the other forum later, maybe there's some linking up possible...

When does the 50 day challenge start? Would love to give it a go this time.
