Still loving the positivity Leeds isn't a goer for me, but I'll watch for when a southern one comes up

Can I ask if anybody on the matrix is, or knows of somebody who does home boarding for dogs and if so would they be available at Christmas and New Year. - Managed to mess up my pet passport dates

Try LameWolf (she can be found on OS board) - she's based in Milton Keynes and has dogs to stay regularly.

MG - how about 'Who do you know who can put you in touch with a training manager at a national company with a large call centre in the city?' I can give you the answer too

michelle, you're absolutely right, the internet is where you need to be. Plus any local craft shops, or yummy mummy baby shops. You're in Rotherham .... there's a lot of rich people in Sheffield.... and loads of them in Leeds..... I don't know locations up there as well as I used to, but I reckon you could be onto a winner there.

What about knitting some smaller things Michelle? That blanket is beautiful And fabulous especially for someone who only learned to knit this year! :T Baby clothes or scarves or mittens or something similar can be fairly easily customised with tweaks to patterns, or embelishments, and I'm pretty sure that some people allow you to sell things you've knitted from their patterns, as long as you acknowledge where the pattern came from (although you'd have to check, of course!). Good luck anyway!

MG, no idea on the final question - but how fabulous to break things down! Does seem rather more manageable that way, doesn't it? I'll have a think on - I used to do some voluntary work in Leeds for a small environmental charity, don't know what they'd be able to do, but they've probably got a bit of a network... What do you want us to do, PM you names so you can send publicity? Or send us posters etc to pass on? I don't live in Leeds, but can potentially email stuff?

Whew!!! You'd think that the coaching calls would get easier - but somehow they manage to just pitch them a little bit further than I think I can reach.

So in the usual spirit of breaking the elephant down in to little bites, here's what the coach "helped":rotfl:me come up with.

Q Whats the problem? - bare facts only.

A I need to fill a room with 44 people in Leeds in 30 days time.

Q You the drill!! - come up with 10 "Who do you know who?" questions to help narrow down the search for your people. 10 areas to search for four people in each -OK?


A Erm!! Ok!!! ( half wishing I'd never started this whole thing - only half thought mind):D

Ok - so who do you know who??

1. Attends any of the local Universities

2. Attends any of the local colleges

3. Has children at any local independant schools

4. Has children and lives in the area

5. Is a member of the local press

6 Works in a local radio station

7. Is a member of a local business networking group
