On the following website you can follow a course which is all about Neuro Linguistic programming. Basically the principal is that subconsiously you can influence things that happen in your life, a bit what Paul McKenna does. If only you would follow this course to learn how to relax and meditate it would have great benefits for you! I followed the extended version and paid about £700 for it at the time. They now have a free online version and it is really interesting to do. If you can do it with a friend it is even more fun, you'll be amazed at the results!! See what you think (but try to have an open mind!!)

I've been looking into this and the uk website is http://www.silvaultramindsystems.co.uk/main/silva/static/hovesiden.do?n=0 one of their 'educators' was on the Britain's Psychic Challenge programme a couple of years ago on Channel 5 and ended up getting booted out at the beginning. All I can say is DON'T DO IT. I know her and her 'work' and there's nothing good I can say about either, if she's involved with it then it's going to be a 'get rich quick' thing, but needless to say, they're the only ones getting rich.

Beginners Spanish or French would be best. I know a little bit of French (GCSE level) but I think I'd be better to start from scratch because my GCSE's were a bit longer ago than I'd care to remember!

If you've got an ipod or mp3 player, coffeebreakspanish/ coffeebreak french from th podcast collection on itunes are brill for brushing up or totally starting to learn a new language from scratch.

I'm currently doing the Great2Run 20wk running programme:

It even gives you a national qualification - a BTEC First Certificate in Sport. All for free.

This no longer seems to be free- has a price tag of around £2,000 for a year's membership for schools (as far as I can see)
