  • I'm good. Busy due to the getting organised bit of the new work, once thats all done it won't take up as much time. Already had positive reports go back to top people so fingers crossed :j.

    Now I'm all caught up, I understand the Austrian bank account on your list a few pages back.
    Reading backwards and also from the beginning did mean I wondered what on earth you were up to. And whether Austrian bank accounts were the new Swiss bank accounts! :D

    Cheri, how do you find your quotes that suit your mood for the day? You inspired me to flick through the poetry books I have and some others I have lying around, but assuming there's loads online. Do yu search broadly by mood/emotion...? Im curious as I'd like to give it a go.

    I always loved it when diaries used to have little quotes inserted in them. Perhaps you still get them but as my diary is generally issued by work, I'm guessing the NHS's diary budget doesn't stretch to ones with motivational quotes! ;)

    hi, well I get my quotes from lots of places. I tend to carry a notembook around and if I come across one then I write it down. Amazing the places that you get them form. On here, on billboards, just something somebody actually says to me, I love poetry so always reading that, song lyrics, the list is endless but then I am a bit of a geek For example I was at a talk on Wednesday night and it was littered with quotes, my gel pens were loving it problem being though that they turned the lights off so I couldnt see properly to write them all down. Other than that you are spot on, if I am looking for something to fit a particular mood I will google something like Happiness Quotes and see what comes up. Couple of sites that I like are
    http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/topics/topic_inspirational.html
    http://thinkexist.com/topics/
    Today I remembered that I love Louise May Alcott so I just googled her plus quotes and came up with lots.
