The Matrix - Re-Evolution!!

troglodyte

Morning all!

I was here yesterday too and wrote a longish post and then lost the connection (I'm away from home and using a dongle) so it all disappeared, got so annoyed I didn't come back! Now I'll try again - this time I will be sure to copy text first before I hit 'submit' just in case.

KK, glad the leg is better and hope the op goes well.

TMIF, sounds like you are moving forward with a spring in your step! Yay to meatballs!

Igam, you really need to badger the doctors, those headaches are not nornal and quite worrying IMO. GPs can be such a barrier to getting proper care (sometimes I think their only real purpose is to stop 'too many' people seeing specialists) but you need to keep pestering them until you get somewhere. I'm worried about you!

((healing hugs)) to everyone who's been to the dentist recently.

Sun is up here and it's looking like it might be a nice day, not feeling too sprightly though as couldn't sleep due to stupid legal problems preying on my mind, Grrrrrr

Horace, I was going to comment on the Forever Living thing; all these direct selling things (like FL, Avon, Kleeneze, Usborne books, Body Shop direct, Pampered Chef etc etc) are OK and some people do make a very good living from them, you just need to bear in mind that the most income comes not from the stuff you sell (although you get a bit from that) but from commission on the stuff your 'downline' sell, so to be successful you need to really believe in the product and be able to enthuse everyone you meet to either buy it or to join your team and sell it themselves! You need to be a real people person, bubbly and full of enthusiasm and positive ideas, and able to help your team (if/when you have recruited one) to progress themselves and they will then carry you up, IYSWIM. Be careful not to be talked into buying too much stock or supporting items, your recruiter makes commission on whatever you buy (whether you then sell it or it just gets stuck in a box in the back bedroom) so you need to make sure they will provide good support in helping you to get started, sell that stock and move up the ladder yourself!

Right I'll get off my soapbox now, have a good day everyone!

MG - today's blog post has soup in the title when you are talking about soap.

I blame my fat fingers

Right - stand by your beds ladies.

In 50 days it will be 2 years exactly since the Big Horse Bank crunched me - and I was thinking what greater cause for celebration would there be than to have paid off the last of the debt by that date.

The total as of last week was £1283.35 - so today I have transferred £83.35 from my precious savings account to make the number £1200.

Now to put my thinking cap on to come up with a way to pay the rest -

.............. so close, so close, so close

So very inspirational, looking forward to when I get there as well :T

Good morning, all.

I'm posting from an old orchard in Shropshire and the weather is glorious! I'm about to shower and then we will be off adventuring all day. Have a good one, folks. :j

Morning everyone.

Attitude has needed some readjustment of late. its funny but I hadn't really noticed the lack of positivity at the start but by the end I was most definately sucked into that negative downward spiral.
so although DD kept me (and H) awake since 4.30am I am determined to see today for what it is, another day of opportunities. I have had two cups of tea with my lovely owl tea cosy that moo2moo knitted. I've had my breakfast so feel nicely satisfied. I have some things I need to do today, housework etc but of late my mantra has been "not enough hours in the day". Well guess what there never were. So today that stops. There ARE enough hours in the day, you get what you ask for so new mantra is "plenty of time"

The sun is out, the garden is looking tidier after my gardening session yesterday so a lovely day to be had in store

MG - you can do it girl

Trogolodite - I have a plan with the Forever Living peeps not to spend any money buying stuff but getting my 'recruiter' to work for me and I have been offered a free day out which I shall go to but I will not be indoctrinated.

As for farting about I am not - I like to do things properly and was told a little while ago that I would need PTTLS but that was for marking assignments. I don't intend to mark assignments just deliver workshops on social media and I just wanted to make sure of the legalities first. Delivering workshops is a whole new sphere for me - I have done small in-meeting ones but not half day/full day ones where people pay me oodles of money.

Had to smile last night I was talking to webgeek on the way to a committee meeting about NTW and he said that if I introduced a membership fee and increased the breakfast price then people wouldn't go, to me charging £10 and getting £2.05 profit is just not a viable business model. My nearest rivals who run a very similar business charge £118.80 annual membership fee and £12 for breakfast each fortnight and they get on average 20 people in the room - I am lucky if I get 6:o I am not bothered if webgeek attends or not but if my business is to survive then it has to make money otherwise I may as well call it a hobby and quit now which would be a shame because in the next 5-6 years I want it to be a global business and be employing staff whilst I spend time doing other stuff.

Good morning

Lovely weather here today too, ds2 school has phoned he has hurt his hand and it's swelling so needs to get checked out. DS1 has gone to get him, then I have the task of A&E.

They are just waiting for a train to come back

Loving the attitude Bitsy :beer:.

Well I have taken Mr B's advice (even tho' it wasn't directed at me and have decided to "stop farting around and just get on with it". An hour of my own work done before 9am this morning in addition to all the usual morning mayhem.

In addition, am looking at how to simplify doing what needs to be done, it is too unwieldy at the moment.

FW do you have a link to the thread you were talking about yesterday - £100 to £10,000. I searched last night but couldn't find it .

Back to my simplifying plan. Have a good day folks, Thriftyxxx

Eta: hope ds2 is okay Claire

You know how positivity breeds positivity?

Well I have just been emailed about the possibility of me doing a series of seminars in Las Vegas - "At your usual daily rate if possible":j:j:j

3 seminars over 5 days at £1500 or US equivalent would be a great input to MFi3. Not until next June however:o

Better get practising on my high heels again

Wooohoooo!!!!
