    Good Morning

    Blowing a gale here and raining, kept waking me up in the night so I am absolutely shattered, Been up since 6...45 as DS2 went back to school, so instead of going back to bed decided to potter around and get stuff sorted,

    So put all my clothes away, (been putting it off for weeks and it only took 15 mins :() sorted rads out of dry clothes, put wet clothes to dry and put towels on to wash, Made mine and ds2's bed (ds1 still in his) opened all the curtains and blinds :)

    Just had toast and a coffee, going to surf the net for a bit, then do some more pottering.

    Coincidences anyone???:D

    OK time for MG to eat a huge slice of humble pie in front of several Matrix Ladies.:o

    Today I have a double page spread in "The Record" and "The Mirror" - and have already had a phone call from a magazine (who's tag line should be "Have a Kit-Kat!") to do another interview.

    Despite my protestations that "no-one would be interested" - that "what I do is not all that unusual" and "anyone can do this" - and therefore wimping out of pursuing the "champagne life on lemonade budget" media stuff, it would appear that this is EXACTLY what people ARE interested in - my apologies ladies, you appear to see my strengths better than I do.

    Creativity is apparently IN!! Knew if I hung around long enough I would be bang on trend.:D

    Major rethink needed this afternoon methinks - but first a phone call t warn my Mum before she opens up the paper.

  • Well done MG! Had a look in the Record online - It's a good article.
    If you have a talent, use it in every which way possible. Don't hoard it. Don't dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke.

    Well done! Good balanced writing there as well which must be a relief.
    But how can you know what you want till you get what you want and you see if you like it?

    Maybe keep the other one going then for the frugal stuff... can't say too much here without breaking the rules, but look at what MrF is talking about on the other side ;)
