    Have you got a day this week you could start properly? If you're feeling OK?

    See below :D
    I can't believe I have missed so much I know I have been busy but time seems to be speeding up sorry :o
    Busy lives! Don't worry about it :kisses3:

    Really sorry to read about the consultant but pleased you have focussed the bad energy in a good way :j
    Yep :j:j:j

    You are not middle aged because if you are I am and I refuse to be so there :D

    Hurray! That made me giggle :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Love the gardening tips macgirl what did you do to your rambling rose I have a very large rambling rose and a very large clematis all over a pergola which is about 20 feet long that badly needs painting I would really like to chop both right down to virtually ground level any thoughts anyone?

    KC when are you going to start trading for real this is bum kicking time if you wait for the "right" time it is not going to happen I have been reading about you doing this for ever just do it - OK you will probably never talk to me again but I don't care (well I do really) I want to see you being able to do all sorts of new things without worrying about the cost - ok I am going now :o

    Oh DT, what a lovely bum kick :kisses3: You're right! I would've done it today, honestly, but I didn't want to do the whole alarm clock thing, not a problem. I'll get onto it tomorrow - my client tomorrow has cancelled, my meeting with my partner isn't till 4pm or so, so that gives me the whole of my trading time. And I *will* try the whole alarm clock thing :D

    One thing I've done thats done me no favours at all is to try to listen to my internal fears too much - comes of doing this job, really - I noticed it when I beat the flying phobia too, I remember *making* myself feel scared, because then I could beat it down, and nothing terrible would happen - superstition of the worst, most self defeating sort!

    So I'll do it, and we'll see what we'll see.

    Not every signal works, of course - but most of them do, by a long way. :T

    Fingers crossed for you tomorrow KC, I'm afraid I have no idea what trading even *is*, let alone how to do it :rotfl: but it sounds like t's going to make your fortune, and sounds like you enjoy it, so I hope you succeed! :T :T

    Deal! With you three, and DT! Of course, if I do it, and then keep on doing it and start making proper money at it, I'll have to shut up about it, or just mention it in code, "second job" type thing, because I think it would then be construed as encouraging gambling .... I'm very optimistic, me :D:D:D

    Right, one sess. done, one to go .... just about managed to avoid spluttering ... and I've actually braved the brick shed and found enough flowerpots to make up four of each of the basil and the coriander. I bought 80 litres of bagged topsoil with me so that'll do for part of the mix, but I think I need something more nutritious than that for little houseplants... so tomorrow, I might brave the walk into the town centre again. I'm pleased at finding the plantpots tho...

    Great news on the plantpots :)

    So tomorrow, when can we expect you online telling us that you have traded?
