Well apart from a list about what lists I need to make and the fact we are going to get a wipe clean board to put everything on so we don't miss anything, like remember to pick DS up from school :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:, I'm fine, thanks for asking :kisses3:.

I got the all clear from rhuematoid which was fantastic news, mum was very relieved. Now I could just do with a few weeks by a pool in the sun but I only have the chance of the odd day off until December, but it was only 6 months ago when we had no idea of how we would be earing anything this year so I'm not complaining!

You never know what direction things will go, and for us its been every which way across the country

And I just mentioned to my partner on Tuesday the idea of renting out the house while I buy a little inland boat and potter round the UK on the rivers and canals which is quite real now :j

This is exactly where my parents are now! They go for months on end, we get to the cut the lawn :eek:.

Great you got the tree chopped a bit I know you're being careful - but please do be!

Green website looking forward to that when you've got it done

Long weekend sounds lovely - what you got planned? x

Great explaination of 'embedded energy' btw - I loved it

Thanks Pippi! I was very wary of using a saw up a ladder, I worked hard to make the base of the ladder stable, don't worry. I need to go up again, but I won't do that till my neighbour is out in his car - he said he'd move it, but I was knackered by the time I saw him :rotfl: I don't want it there because of how the top might fall.

Weekend - Crawley Folk Festival on Saturday with a friend, and Wakehurst Place (National Trust place) with my sister on Sunday. I'm not a "night-out" sort of person really, never have been, so these are ideal.

You're welcome :kisses3:

Thats very good news, absolutely. A holiday would be even better, of course - hope you can get something.

Ooh! That sounds quite exciting, actually - the reality can be a different, I know - driving long distances into the evening, in the rain, hungry, that sort of thing.

This was about me pottering about on inland waterways ... and your parents actually do it? How fascinating! I may pick your brains! Sorry you get to cut the grass tho :eek:

I've been up for ages, yawn. Today, I don't have any paid work booked in - nor on Monday - tho I have managed to hit my minimum for this week.

So today, the morning is about the trading, tho I'm actually sitting not in my office but in the living room - I've been trying to get onto the Olympic website to buy second chance tickets - but even tho I have an account, the security question (I forgot my password!) is weird - my favourite sportsperson? Huh? Who on earth did I pretend is my fave sportsperson? Not a clue.

Then in the afternoon, off to town - decluttering to the charity shop, going to the bank, the library, that sort of fascinating stuff I wish I could say, I'm popping off to New York for a weekend shopping trip, but I'm not

And positive vibes, please, for my niece, who has a callback after an interview in Putney.

Lots of positive vibes for your niece ~~~~~~~~~~

Good luck with the Olympics tickets - lots of that going on in my office this morning too!

Thanks for the explanation about the chargers - you explain these things really clearly My main concern is OH's iPod needing charged pretty much everyday (too much playing silly games :rotfl:) and wondered if a solar charger would work for that and my phone and save a bit of electricity.

Re the shampoo - hmmm you haven't seen my hair after two days It's very fine so seems to look grubby very quickly I might have to experiment a bit.

Never mind New York - folk festival and day out with your sister sounds fab :T

Karmacat

Hi Squizz! Thanks for the vibes!

Olympics - no deal, my niece has already tried to do it - we can apply for the next tranche, apparently, on 8th July or something. All sounds dodgy to me.

Awww, and thank you for your kind words about how I put things thats very nice to hear I wonder if your charger *is* on the blink if OH has to charge his stuff every day? You might have to do complicated sums about wattage and whatnot and I don't have a clue about that sorry! Tho it is a beef of mine - we're told not to leave things on charge too long, but most of the electronic rechargeable stuff that I have doesn't have an icon to say "fully charged". V annoying.

On hair, I'm so used to mine, which is very, lets say, strong - its completely different ... in that situation, I get something as gentle as I could.

And yes, I am looking forward to my weekend.

As for the trading - all I have to say is this:

:j:j:j

:rotfl:I was very timid still, but there was the trade saying, yes, this is the right thing to do, so I just did ... and I got a tiny profit. If I'd stayed in, it would've been four times what I got, but I *did* stay in longer than I thought I would, and I wasn't hyped, it felt normal, so I'm really really happy with that - in it for the long term, so a little paddle in the waters is fine. I'm richer by the princely sum of £2.60, by the way :j

A celebratory cup of coffee now beckons

And the final trade would've been a profit of 15 :j:j

Hi
I was reading about the green stuff, and solar power and shampoo etc. with interest, as I've just been waffling on about that on my thread.
Its something I think about a fair bit, I have very fine hair, and need to wash it every day. If I don't it looks OK in the morning but by mid afternoon it looks dirty.

But now I've got to say well done on the trading.
:T:T:T:beer:

OK so you didn't stay in, but at least you did something. Every little bit counts! It mightn't sound much but if you made that much every day, you'd have over 70 quid at the end of the month. Not enough to retire on, but enough to buy food.

Hiya! Thank you! If I'd waited for an exit signal to get out, the total would've been much higher - and if I'd done more £ per point, the profit would've been much much higher - thats a learning trade, and I'm really happy with it - the real issue for me is that I didn't exhaust myself with an adrenalin rush! I need to be able to trade, and learn to stay in longer, and then have enough energy to do my existing therapy work in the afternoon. And on this performance, I will have. Thats whats making me so happy

Is that the first trade..???? Is it...?

KARMA TRADED! KARMA TRADED!!! WOOHOO!!! :T :j :T :j :T :j :T :j :T :j
