Squizz's Fizzy Diary

Cheery_Daff

:T :T for new notebooks! I must confess that I've become a lot calmer since I started carrying round a notebook all the time :T :T Used to have my 1 month, 3 month and 6 month plans at the beginning, and I'd think about those and what I was diong towards them while on the train, at doc appointments etc. Always means I'm never annoyed at having to wait somewhere because I can ponder in my notebook.

I've had a couple of pretty ones, but always found I was afraid to write in them :rotfl: :rotfl: Now I just have whatever comes to hand (unless someone buys me one!), and scribble down plans for the day, shopping to get on the way home, where I want to be in 5 years time, how much money there is in the bank, what needs doing before I go on holiday... I also give myself a little pep talk sometimes too :rotfl: So, for example, on the train on the way home tonight I wrote (promise you won't laugh! )

"so that was a good day! All right really. Get your ticket for tomorrow on the way home. You've only got 4.5 syns left [I'm doing slimming world :rotfl:] but that should be ok, you shouldn't need them tonight [I was forgetting about the half a muffin I ate :rotfl:]. Let's save tomorrow's for a drink in the evening, that'll be good. Also I think possibly Shred this evening! Excellent fun. Or maybe a run, depends how hungry you are. A run would be nice, you didn't go yesterday and you want to go on Saturday aren't you? So I think you should run. Cook and eat, then crack on with your weekly review of projects. Tomorrow get the early train..."

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: It carries on like that for another 2 pages :rotfl: :rotfl: Mostly just dumping thoughts out of my head - not in any way artistic or anything, just everyday nonsense. Better out than in though!

And :T :T for seeds Never wasted

Love it. :T:T I have an unhealthy love affair with notebooks. Mmm! Good looking. Mmm! Lovely to stroke. Mmm! Pristine pages.

But . . . . sully their pages with my scribble :eek::eek::eek:

I am a recovering notebookaholic. There, I've admitted it.:eek:

I still buy ones I like but generally from places we visit to help support them and remember the visit - I had a superb one from The Eden Project - but I do use them like Cheery. A brain dump!:rotfl:

Apologies, Squiz, for the hijack and sudden de-lurk.

I'm just hopping on last thing - Cheery, thats absolutely adorable! I'm definitely laughing with, not laughing at - that really is stream of consciousness, brilliant

Squizz, I'm ever so impressed at winter planting!

Cheery, just loved the pep talk to yourself in your notebook. My work one in particular has lots of mind maps in it, with notes about 'don't take any **** from xx'- 'how to manage y' etc.

I will also admit to being a bit fussy about my notebooks - I have quite a few, I can spend hours in Paperchase. and people buy them for me. I have a beautiful leather one my sister bought me a few years ago, with hand made paper, and so far all I've done is write the date it was given to me!

I have some basic ones from Mr M etc. that are full of shopping lists, and they are just scribble, but for the rest....

Oh yes and I also have loads of lovely pens!

Cheery, that's brilliant :rotfl: I must admit I feel a bit self-conscious about writing 'to myself'.. which is a bit weird I know At the moment mine is a load of notes/ sort of mind-map things, including a picture of some arms.. don't ask :rotfl:

Tricia, :rotfl: stroking notebooks! I'm sure I must have quite a few nice ones tucked away somewhere that I thought it was a good idea to buy but then never braved using. Can't find them though!

Gill, ooh nice pens are good.. got a couple of lovely ones at home but handbag ones tend to be acquired from work/ conferences.. and a bit chewed

It's flute lesson day! :T Practising went well last night but still quite nervous. Excited too though! I am also rather soggy as it has been raining pretty much constantly since oooh about half an hour after I watered the garden last night. Had beetroot (and one stray turnip) with pasta, with some bits of spicy italian sausage.. very nice

Did a bit of reading and had an early night - in bed at 10 which I haven't done for quite a while. Can't say I feel wonderfully better for it but sure it will have done me some good!

Yay to the fluting! I hope the lesson goes well, its a brilliant idea and your teacher sounds lovely already.

Cheery_Daff

Hooray for fluting tonight Squizz! :T :T You'll be fine I'm sure, and you'll wonder what you were worried about

Did I tell you my teacher said last week 'er, do you ever tounge notes or do you always just start blowing' :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Seems a few bad habits have drifted in! (haven't practiced hardly this week at all - my lesson is tomorrow eek!)

I was always self conscious about writing to myself, but now I don't worry about someone else reading it it's a lot easier! Also doing a kind of stream of consciousness thing means I don't worry about it being perfect or artistic or anything - good job really :rotfl:

Oooh I'm sure I will have a few bad habits (when I videod myself the other day I discovered that my right little finger sometimes randomly sticks up like I'm doing some posh tea drinking or something :rotfl:)

Really looking forward to getting some new things to play.. what music has your teacher given you?
