    I used to travel into London with DH each morning and I remember one day when it was wet and really windy, whipping up all the rubbish in the street. The wind blew a bit of wet plastic bin bag into my path and I slipped on it and landed hard, hitting my cheekbone. After he helped me up, he said worriedly " I hope you don't get a black eye" and THEN went on to say "people will think I've been beating you up"

    Needless to say, he was lucky to escape without a black eye of his own!!
    It doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!

    Like the idea of a blog advertising your product MG. This is an area I'd be interested in following. My idea for a business is also not unique and I'd be competing in areas that are already highly competitive. In one way I think I'm mad to contemplate it but in another way I think, other people have done it and been highly successful so why not you. Goes off musing...

    Bah!!! to feeling Bleurgh!!!

    You just have to find a unique way of presenting it - thats all. Mind you at times it feels a bit like rub you tummy pat your head kinda stuff :rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi there! Not beenaroundmuch - struggling with illness too, and having no electricity because workmen have been Doing Things all over the house - but leccy is back on, I'm snug, and I finally, finally managed to get to the post office today - £8 odd for Kits for Kids first class - only 17 tops, but I hope they make some kids and adults happy .... like others, I'm glad they're out of the house now :) Heaven knows, my clothes aren't great, and I don't have much style, but what would it be like if I had that little.... I'd want someone like me to do *something*, as well as all the international stuff from governments... I remember what Olive was saying the other day, about the men in the engineering collective repairing the machines of the women in the sewing machine collective..... I love that kind of synergy. Hoping we build more and more of it. And DT, thank you for posting the address so many times - I grabbed it this morning, after google searching, I didn't even come on the site, and it came up straight away.

    Another one of my rubbish ideas here, but here goes,

    Its kinda like a kilobyte course, you break what you are offering into bytes (say 10 individual bytes that make up the whole thing)
    You present the whole course at X amount.
    Then set a price for each individual byte
    eg you mentoring by phone for 15 mins costs X
    or email support for so many emails costs X
    webinars explaining each byte at x amount
    (might sound silly but they are just poor examples of what I mean).

    that way people can choose what they can afford, some can do the whole thing others can do the bits they need.

    I think I've expressed this badly - ok I'm getting me coat :rotfl:
    I suppose something like this is only viable for the on-line market.
    I'm rubbish at this stuff, just sort of come up with random ideas.:o;)

    That said it better than the random blurb I've got down here. I talk about giving people a "toolkit" - but most people build up a toolkit over time as they come across things they need to fix IYSWIM. You don't need all the tools to start - and its amazing what you can achieve with just a butter knife :D

    My mate popped over as I was cooking dinner or the boys - good tme for a chat :rotfl:. She put her ipod on shuffle - and you know how I love random?

    First song - Stand by Your Man (!!!!!!!!!!:eek:) but was definitely the attitude of my Mum n Aunties in the 70's.

    Second - Independant Women - cue us bouncing around the kitchen like wallies. OK so we were cooking - but we were doing it in sparkly aprons and Hawian Lias. Strictly come dancing watch out!!!

    Third - Mz Dynamite - Girl You Got to Put him out!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    The three ages of feminism !!!!:D
