    Afternoon Matrix! Just had my lunch of leftovers... which was flipping marvellous, and I am about to start prep for my meeting later today. My first meeting (the one I was fretting about) was absolutely fine, and i have made the necessary corrections, got the thing signed and bingo. Done. Not nearly so bad as I thought it might be.

    Got a few more meetings to deal with this afternoon, and then home to exercise, cook and clean. Oh yes. Living on the edge here!! :D See you all tomorrow, if not before. Hope everyone is having a positive day. Lots of love and positive vibes.

    That's brilliant, MG! How did she figure out how many mindmaps she will need etc?

    :)


    Each Section - for example "Exotics - Avians" or "Farm - Sheep" has a seperate booklet of lecture notes. She took each booklet and a pad of post-its and then went through her booklet sticking a post-it at the beginning of each new Mind Map section (5-7 little sections per Mind Map only)

    Having gone through ALL of her lecture notes she came to the total.

    Divide and conquer - chunk it down to lots of little bits and then start nibbling away.

    Have just spent an hour painting anchors onto jam jars with enamel paint! My house now stinks and I've got the beginnings of a headache:eek: These are the lanterns for the tables and to hang around the garden - very MSE.

    Weather vile, just had some thunder :D
    Poor old sewing machine can't cope with me sewing the flap of the bag. Shame really as I was getting my sewing groove :j I have really enjoyed what I've done so far in between DD and cat who decided that a poor fledgling baby blue tit was a fun toy to bring in (dead) to the bottom of my stairs :(

    Anyway feeling rather proud of myself for tackling this sewing confidence issue. OK bag is fairly simple but baby steps ;)

    Well done Bitsy - when you said machine can't cope, why is that? How old is your needle? Is it the right type fior the fabric?

    Looking forward to pics!!! x

    Had a very productive day so far - got a roofer in and he's coming to fix roof tomorrow (yay) for much less than any quote we've had so far. Than went and ordered a birthday cake for m-i-l 70th Birthday in a few weeks and then a scooter for ds so he doesn't keep nicking his sisters. Then a quick haircut so I don't look like Elvis any longer.

    Have just jumped on wii fit and my lunch yesterday hasn't left to much lasting damage and have set a little target to lose in next 2 weeks. So far pretty healthy food day but am a bit snacky now so going to have strawbs.

    When is it Marru? Do you have an action plan? (Crying's ok, it releases the stress and lets you focus xxx)

    Tuesday 31 May 2pm. In the middle of Swedish special payroll tax to cheer myself up. I am sad, I know...
