Memorygirls - The Matrix Reloaded

clairewop

Good morning.

I've woken up with another cold, hopefully it doesn't turn out like the last one did (shouldn't I have had the flu jab) so a rather sniffly stuffy nosed Claire this morning.

Have to meet mum to go to the drs this morning, she is having the fluid drained off her knee.

Had the price last night to fix the bay window, £186.00, thats 3 large panes and 3 small panes of double glazing glass, so now need to find money for that too.

Dining room decorating is on stop, run out of money again, the 2 walls are painted, but we have run out of polycell smooth coat for the bay, and we need new skirting boards and coving.

My hoover packed in again yesterday just cut out as I was using it, so I need to find the argos receipt and take it back.

Winky hope your ok

Clootiesmum I loved your story too. I can be clumsy and have had many a fall over the years. My favourite (which was agony at the time!) was one night I was standing at the top of a flight of stone steps in the port at Corfu and our preordered pizzas arrived. It was getting dark and I was wildly excited as I love my food so I went to run down the stairs, missed my high heeled footing and rolled down about 9. What a complete plantpot!!!!

OUCH!!! The must have hurt.
I fell down the stairs at work once, missed footing in fairly high heels and bumped down on my back to the bottom. Had lovely lovely zebra strips on my back showing up my ribs :eek:

claire - hope your cold goes away. I always take eccinachea (not that I can spell it LOL!)

fantasia - glad the news is semi positive. I hope they can find a way to keep DSS xx

Morning All. I feel a bit better today. It was obviously a good choice to have a sicky day yesterday. I did nothing all day but empty the dishwasher, watch tv and do hand sewing on dolls clothes and then cooked an easy tea! Most unlike me.
Had a lay in this morning, more paracetomol and going to have another quiet day. At least today I have a bit of colour:j Being a redhead I am very rarely white but was yesterday:eek:
Catch up later.

Morning ladies

Everyone in our house worke up full of the joys this morning - even feeling "normal" feels fabulous, no-one sniffing, no-one coughing - long may it continue.

So today I have got such a pile of things to get organised it's unbelievable - gonna have to resort to the old 15 minute wonder system I think.

On top of everything the mentors have "ahem" suggested I start blogging about Mind Mapping etc. We've been monitoring posts for the last month and they are right - needs someone in there showing how its done.

So priority list:

Get Manchester trip sorted:

Confirm venue and details wth all delegates
[STRIKE]Organise Train[/STRIKE]
Pack seminar kit - waiting for acetates to dry
[STRIKE]
Check OHP and pack into case for travelling
[/STRIKE]Redraw 3 Mind Maps I'm not happy with
Pack clothes in with kit so only taking one suitcase

THEN

[STRIKE]
Pack up and send 3 kit bags of kits for kids
Take 6 boxes and one bag to charity shop
[STRIKE]
[/STRIKE]Put 6 bin bags of rubbish in wheelies for tomorrows collection
[/STRIKE][STRIKE]
Set out three boxes for continued pre-chrimbo declutering

[/STRIKE]ALSO

[STRIKE]
Make loaf of raisin bread
[/STRIKE][STRIKE]Do veg shopping[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]
Clear through fridge
[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]
Pick up in bedroom
[/STRIKE]
Buy roll of christmas paper for Dads pressies


off to start

Glad to hear you are all feeling better MG. Wish my cold would go:(
Still when I looked back I got more done yesterday than I had realised.

Like the idea of showing how to Mind Map.
I had looked at MMs for several years, but while I could see them I couldn't work out how the creator got there IYSWIM.

Then I got your book and have drawn my first Mind Map :T it still needs working on, but now I know how to start.

Yes, going to be using lists and 15 minutes blitzes here today as well I think. Have a good amount to do and much as I love you lovely ladies (+ Mike!) I don't want to waste too much of the day mooching about on here! Have a list over on my thread and will be working through it. *Rephrase* and will be completing all the items on it and then making a start on a list ready for Thursday!

Hope the poorlies are all feeling a bit better today. Certainly sounds as though your houseold is much improved MG - glad to hear it too! I'm determined to work a bit further through the decluttering here as well - we did well on Sundqay afternoon and even OH sorted out books for the charity shop which is unheard of! Claire B&Q do an own label brand of the stuff you paint onto walls to sort out the little minor imperfections. Can't remember what they call it but it is a lot cheaper than the Polycell stuff and did a grand job on the nicked and dinked walls in our spare room - we'd use it again.

Thanks craftyscholar

Just about to run out the door to the post office with the kits, but what I'm thinking is, ...............


Mind Mapping is a "known" technique - so do a FREE 7 day course theat peeps can download

Then can offer them the "tools" to do the smarts stuff when they are signed up.

Make it the go to place - with loads of free and useful stuff ....


............... but also offer the training, the books, the ebooks n stuff.

BTW I think ALL matrix members should be automatic members - LOL. You guys are the best proof readers I know

Hi ladies, got to read and run but just wondered if I could ask for your help. Do any of you know anything about plumbing. Basically I have dropped the lid of my moisturiser and over time a few other lids into the plughole. They're too far down to get back up...so I was wondering how easy it would be to open the whole thing up and get them out from the bottom? Bear in mind that I have NEVER done DIY and don't know any technical terminology?

A lid went down ages ago which made it drain slowly so I have never been able to put the stopper in and an odd lid has slid out of my hands in the morning and gone down. This last one could be the last straw!!!

Need to nip out but will be back by 12.30 ish.

Thanks a lot! X

If you can see the U Bend underneath the sink this can be quite straight forward.

Put a bowl under the u bend then unscrew all the parts and tip the water and your lids into the bowl. Clean the plastic pipe well and refit making sure its screwed on very tight............... don't ask me why I've had to get my head around this, but and art teacher thinking it would be good idea to pour a load of molten wax into a drain was the first instance.:rotfl:

Roaring through my lists - makes a difference when you just get going doesn't it?

Rattling through - off to have some lunch and then concentrate on packing for this weekend. Got a massive swede today so I'm going to cook half of it and mash then freeze. For dinnner on Xmas eve we are having a starter of haggis, neeps and tatties. Done all cheffy in a ring and with a splash of whiskey and mustard sauce. Got a tin of haggis, a chinese container of buttery mash, so with the swede prepped it will be a defrost and assemble job.

The sun has come out here - its streaming through my huge front room window - and showing the drifts of dust and the smears on my mirror - LOL

So I guess I'd better add a 15 minute room blitz to the afternoon.

So relieved that the Kits have gone off -had visions of getting to the weekend and me still stepping over them in the kitchen.

Time for lunch - then pack my case and put it by the door.
