The Matrix - Re-Evolution!!

groatie_queen

Hi Crickett! I can't get on to non work websites at all at work, so can only post from home during the day on my regular days off, Thurs and Friday. It makes logging on at home even more enjoyable!

I weakened and had the heating on for an hour this morning. The cat is velcro'd to my right hip as I sit here typing (I'm her human hot water bottle), and I have a jacket on top of other layers... and feeling reasonably warm atm. Been out for my Friday morning cuppa with friend, and starting a knitting project this arvo - a chunky wrap to replace the jacket I'm wearing! (It's really an outdoor jacket and is very cosy but the wrap will look better in the house IYSWIM).

A quiet weekend ahead, so I hope tomake continuing progress on the home front too. Foodwise, going to make it a using-up weekend too, with Fridge Forage Soup and freezer plundering as well, so hoping for more NSDs - have been less NSDs so far this month for various reasons, so would like to boost the total. Also would like to do a bit more paperwork filing and shredding - where does it all come from??

All Scienced out - but with the new bridge and new road we did it door to door in 80 minutes (brilliant!!!)

There was a stand where you could make paper rockets to shoot and I ended up hosting a workshop with about 20 kids making rockets with fins and nose cones. One of the Managers caught me - told me I should be teaching:rotfl: Then asked me if I was looking for a job :rotfl:

"Just visiting the West Coast for the day - and a bit of channelling Biddy Baxter" says I, then I realised, he had no belly idea who Biddy Baxter was :rotfl::rotfl:

I feel so old :eek:

So back home to do some jacket potatoes to go with the chilli beans I threw in the slow cooker this morning - nice easy tea after all out travels.

Back later

I did drop it into conversation that I gave seminars in Mind Mapping and Memory - and I taught him how to memorise the first ten cards in a deck

I'm not going to get back on my feet financially until I go back to my old career - so some thinking over the weekend about perhaps going into partnership with someone who can do the marketing / booking / admin may be coming up.

The thing is I LOVE doing it, I'm great at it (well most of my business came from repeat bookings) - but taking care of my two boys and doing it all is simply not possible.

Big thinking weekend I think.

Perhaps we can help you with brainstorming MG on the 'other side'? Even hearing some different ideas or perspectives might trigger off some inventive solutions in your own head...

Not much doing, dh has not got the lurgy the kids have had and as dd said this morning "It's on its way to get you next mum!" Told her it isn't in my diary or on the calendar so it aint happening!

Hair and nails all done and looking forward to maths course tomorrow - am going to crawl into pj's soon, turn leccy things off and have a good old read in bed (my new Friday night treat when dh is working)

MG, I have an idea about marketing and bookings - I will see you on the other side:D

Morning Ladies - a weekend of hard thinking and productivity ahead of me.

BM already on - first load of washing on the go and first cuppa made.

I have tickets to take DS1 to see "Les Mis" this afternoon and will drop the wee one at Grans (she wants me to take him and fill in the story:rotfl::rotfl:) Has she seen the size of the book that musical is based on:D

Apart from that it will be a crafty, cleaning and wiring kind of weekend - and a Loooong mentoring session because they have finished their quarterly meet up.

ETA £20 on its way the the big debt BTW. Yesterday I bought 2 coffees and three ice-creams so quite a cheap day out.

Me again - the bad penny.

Just been for a rummage in the kitchen and have decided that apart from some milk later in the week I am not going to go shopping this week.

Got quite a few "HM ready meals" in the freezer and found a teeny bit of brisket for Sunday Dinner - so looking good good good for a big payment to the Big Horse Debt later in the week. Clean down the freezer and save a few pennies too.

There is still money in the "Holiday Purse" so the boys can still have some treats - and for lunch I have a gorgeous loaf of Black Bread, smoked salmon, dill pickles and cream cheese with a couple of local OS Mums.

Now off t pop the pressure cooker on with some soup for tomorrow from the Fridge Forage and we are set - and feeling fabulously abundant.
