MG - The Matrix Re-wired

maryb

MG just posted a question on the blog about the lemon cleaner but don't know if you get notified about new comments to old posts? Anyway, was wondering if you can do it with lemons where you have grated off the zest and squeezed the juice or do you need the zest for the oils it contains?

Yes I do - get notified I mean, but I was busy teaching an 11 year old how to make yorkies so got distracted from the "pings"

Fuller answer over on the blog, but essentially - yes you can. I would add a touch more yeast to get it fermenting though ............. although someone who shall remain nameless has pointed out that what we are making here is prison hooch :rotfl::rotfl: so :beer:.

BTW - you ladies need to pop over to FW blog today - there is a cracking article about "seasons of life" - it has just cheered me up no end, there is hope, there is time, there is HOPE!!!!

Grrrr!!! Hailstones again - does it not know that we have officially declared "Spring" :rotfl:

Just had to have a quick whizz through to catch up with all the posts - just skim reading as now back at work/after school routines and my time is not my own any more - well what little is mine I can't afford to squander!

EE - hope DH gets that job but dont dismiss the whole constructive dismissal thing - my OH did it a few years a ago - took on the big guns and won Trouble with work place bullying if its not brought out into the open it just goes on and on and on - however big the organisation ( reputable university in my OH case). But I understand that courts/tribunals are not for everyone and luckily OH did have union backing.

MG - how wonderful about your letter. I would love to 'find' somebody from my past just to say 'thanks' but have had no luck with all the usual channels...............

Horace - your Noddy Holder story made me laugh. :rotfl:


Dora - re holidays. Me too - I count the days off and then realise I am just wishing my life away! What is it 13 weeks to the biggy hols???

Back to proper work tomorrow - had 2 training days although I came home early to day with massive headache - all sinus related - waiting for surgery. I have rattled off a letter to consultant in which I sound suicidal :eek: but I need to get this surgery done as the problems I am experiencing are now just getting me down:(

Igamogam - we are not wishing our lives away just making sure we get everything done that has to get done in the work time so we can enjoy the fun time - well that is my take on it anyway!

Have had a good day and the rescheduling of life i.e. working more at work rather than at home has had added benefits of meaning me and the icklies having a stress free end to the day - last night it was curled up in our big bed reading stories to each other before I went dancing. By the time the babysitter came ds was snoring and dd was curled up writing her memoirs.

Just having an eeekkk moment - have you seen this from Martin - where a tracker mortgage is no longer so. We have one, thankfully with a different provider, but makes the urgency for clearing all non-mortgage debt asap!

I'm still wandering through the Mindstore book MG recommended, and MG's & FW's blogs today have given food for thought. I think a hard thinking week is in order. I have little opportunity for income raising, but its little not none, so thinking caps on....and to quote DS "a bit of fairy dust" and maybe Tinkerbell's attitude!

That article has got me in a tizz I must confess - even more convinced that the paying down of the mortgage is an absolute must.

Now I am wondering if it wouldn't be prudent to keep my mortgage funds ring-fenced with another bank - after all my bank stuffed me once by moving the goal posts, who is to say they would not do it again??

At least if I was sitting on a few thousand and they pulled the rug they wouldn't be able to take ALL the money again - I could tell them Repo and be damned but have enough money left to start over.

Much to ponder

Scotland is obviously nearer than I thought... we've just had thunder and hail too!

Are you around on Friday? I'm in the office as I'm interviewing some poor person who thinks they want to work with us but should be finished by around 3 if you felt like a coffee and a catch up. If not, I'm back in next Wednesday... did have an interview, but it's been cancelled, however, I have a 3pm meeting arranged anyway, so might as well go in... could do lunch

OH's dad has been admitted to hospital - he only managed to get him to go to the doctor yesterday after weeks of nagging. He's very dehydrated and hasn't really eaten for a couple of weeks so of course he feels awful and looks terrible, and they won't be able to investigate until he's feeling better. I just wish I could do something to help, but I can't really

Oh Matrix, I need to howl at someone, so will you forgive me if I have a big old pity party for a moment?

I have just found out from my oldest and dearest friend, that she is expecting a baby. It is very unexpected as they had fertility problems but they are really thrilled. I am really thrilled for them. I am. Honestly. But I am also feeling very down about it. Heather was the only one of my long term, really good friends not to have a baby... and now... I am the only one who is left. I feel incredibly left out of the "baby club" and all that comes with it.

Going to curl up in a corner and have a sob I think.

That's crap news Greenbee - OH's Dad, not the meet-up obviously. Hope they get some food and liquids into him and he rallies.

Trying to re-write the book blurb on the blog - trying a FAILING miserably!!! Why is it some times the words come and some times they don't?

Grr
