    Excellent Claire! Well done you! :T :T

    Dinah, that most certainly counts as a positive lie! :T In fact, not even a lie at all - a secret surprise :j :j

    OO - who do you ask about the premium bonds?? Someone once told me someone had bought me some when I was born, but my mum has no idea who it was, or whether it was in my name or theirs (whoever they were), so I've never checked! Perhaps I'll write out my cheque to the universe, and then see about the premium bonds :D What info do you need?

    On the subject of negative/positive talk maaaaaaaaaany pages back whilst I was finally doing some cleaning this afternoon I stopped to listen to my internal dialogue. Now I am [STRIKE]trying [/STRIKE]to improve my verbal dialogue to positive and on the whole I feel that's working. BUT I never noticed just how negative my internal-in-my-head voice is. I am constantly looking at things and thinking say for example about housework and general chores "I don't have enough time", "too tired", "gonna be late for [filll in the blank]" - really inconsequential stuff compared to the big things but negative nonetheless and I think it's holding me back from being truly positive. So after checking my emails and threads this afternoon I had about an hour and a half before school pick up. The old me went straight into negative mode in my head thinking I won't have enough time to get housework done, house is a tip and it all fed on from there :o Well told myself to shut up, get on with it and think positive thoughts. So spend an hour and managed to vac upstairs AND down, moving furniture AND managed to clean the bathroom :D And had a jolly nice time whilst doing it thinking lots of nice thoughts about how abundant my life is.
    Felt so inspired I wrote a list that is now stuck up on the kitchen cabinet which states "My life is full of abundance, of love, happiness, health, wealth, food, family and good friends". Being the case with me I want to pretti-fy that list to make it look nice and get creative so i can laminate it but it's nice to have a reminder up of what I have to be thankful for and what I can enjoy on a daily basis.

    OK that was a total ramble but just wanted to share :o:o

    FW - take it easy xx

    MG - Positive vibes for Wolverhampton :D

    Dinah - to me that's a white lie to ensure a suprise so doesn't count. Enjoy :D

    claire - well done on the apron making :)

    Enjoy your evenings, I think I shall enjoy a small alcoholic beverage to toast the day ;)

    Thats brilliant Bitsy - its that little niggly voice inside me that causes me grief - I'm thinking of naming the little horror, something really naff, so that I can tell her off.

    I am now 2 mnutes away from being streaky blonde and short haired again - and in the 30 minutes that the dye takes I have made dinner and given myself a little cheer up mini-manicure (just a slick over of something pinky and pearlescent but cheers me up).

    My friend has just been in and I said I wanted to do this course in Glasgow after my birthday - she wasn't interested in the course - but did state that it would be a perfect place to keep an eye open for Mr "He's coming"

    Honest that never occured to me, but now it has ...............................:rotfl::rotfl:

    I started switching her voice into a really whiny, stupid sounding tone so I can just laugh at her and really not take anything she says seriously. For some reason though she's called Gremlin :rotfl: but not the cute furry variety from the film :cool:

    Hey I met my bloke at work so it's not all pub and clubs you know ;)

    Well done claire, they're really nice :D

    MG - I like pink and pearlescent but I also like bright yellow (on my toes) which makes me happy and think of summer but did a straw poll on FB with a pic and I got a massive thumbs down. apparantly yellow toe nails are not a good look :o so sticking with blue, green and pink in rotation at the mo ;)

    Hooray for positive talking! :T :T I was like that (still am sometimes) - but stopped complaining about hanging the washing up after I timed it and it took me less than 3 minutes - much less time than I'd spent complaining about it :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Thanks OO - just filled in the online tracker thing :T Only stuck my first three addresses, as my mum's still at the third of those, and she's pretty sure they got lost in the move from the first to the second anyway.

    Have also written my universe cheque out for £85000 (if you're going to be cheeky, may as well do it in style! :rotfl:), so let's see :D Fingers crossed hey??

    (or is it better to break it down and ask for smaller amounts??)

    Cheery I wrote my cheque to the Universe for £10 million :o I am now thinking that perhaps smaller amounts would be better :o
