    Coincidences anyone???:D


    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.

    I've co-written two actually :D- although not about "Me" they are more text book thingies about Mind Mapping, Memory and Study Skills.

    Got a meeting with my Mastermind group soon - wonder if the book thing will raise its head there though?

    Displacement activity? :p

    But yes, Wow!

    Just out of interest, any of you who work in education, is the term 'K-12' widely used and understood in the UK (and if so, can you tell me what it means so I can see whether it means the same as what the paperwork I have in front of me wants it to mean?)

    Absolutely. I don't really want to be here :)

    From memory K - 12 (Kindergarten through 12th Grade) - so from Nursery to age 18.

    Mind you - that was America, so might be different if you are looking at UK

    Its a US term (and you got it right ;)) - I was just wondering whether it was widely understood in the UK... Obviously you don't count :p

  • Not a term I'm familiar with greenbee - and my ex was a secondary school teacher.

    Under sink cupboard is done, and it has shown me just what a packrat I am when it comes to microfibre cloths - I have far too many, I could start a shop with them. My mother had a blind spot about ironing board covers, I inherited 4 of them still in their packets. It may have been her default purchase from the Kleeneeze guy, I know she felt sorry for him - I've given away 2 and still have 2 in the airing cupboard.

    Also combined and melted together two tins into one of cracked, dried out and half-used black polish. Not quite what I thought I'd be doing today, but such micro level rationalising is strangely pleasing.

    And polished my boots ready for return to work tomorrow... as of yesterday my mind has been reminding of things to action for particular clients, so I'm cranking back into work mode mentally - just have to get myself there tomorrow. As it's just a one-day week for me, it's a gentle start, thankful for small mercies!
    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.
