  • Hi hypno....just popped in on the last page and caught your post about the book - it sounds ace!

    I know you can't post a lot of what it says for copyright reasons but some odd hints for us lot would be great I think! Hope you are well.

    I guess there are millions of those books because we need them so much! Thing is, they all have more or less the same message - and thats fine. Its just that we have to take notice of the message - leaving it on the bedside table doesn't do it, as Seaxwyn has found, lol. So good for you for reading it, hypno - jut use it now! You're already on the way, having reclaimed the dining table, well done you! Good idea from LookingAhead about posting what works for you, too.

    Have a good day. I'm stealing time from finance practice, so being naughty already (KC whips herself back to the finance software).

    Morning KC!! I have read the first chapter of the book - I don't want to get too bogged down with it otherwise I will spend all my time procrastinating with the book instead of everything else!! However, so far, it is a bit different to the couple of others that I have read - seems to come at it from a different angle, which suits me fine. I will let you all know how I get on, without boring you about how fab the book is every five mins!!

    Today I have a meeting about a possible new thread to the business - will not reveal too much until I know if it is going to come off. Then clients this afternoon, so not on MSE much until later in the afternoon.

    Hope you all have a good day xx

    Hi P!! Hope you had a good day yesterday, and that the "back to work" shock isn't too bad!!

    Kim and Aggie would have a field day in my house. But at least they could eat at the dining room table!!

    I have just ordered my first two vouchers from pigsback - Wallis - I was in there yesterday being tempted by lovey clothes, then I remembered I have £20 available in pigsback so could order vouchers!! I know that there is currently a wait for vouchers from pigsback, but when they arrive, I get to go shopping!! Woo hoo for piggy clicks!!

    Well with your new diary and book you can add another string to your bow: Get yourself organised Seminars, to take place round your dining table. I'll book for the first one.

    The 'there must be a desk here somewhere' comment made me laugh. When I went to wake up DD & Ds this morning, I thought 'there must be beds in here somewhere'. MAJOR house tidy needed.

    I've tried all sorts of self help books, I'm a sucker for them. A pal and I worked our way through a library of Feng Sui books and decided we'd work on our money corner (pre LBM, pre MSE :o ). We made a bit of a calculation mistake we think, she got pregnant and I got unexpectedly re-married within 6 months :rotfl: :rotfl: we think we may have had the compass up-side down or something and did our love corner instead.:rotfl: :rotfl:

    Olive that's fantastic results from your feng shui - just try again and make sure to identify your money corner correctly! I've just asked you on Hypno's other thread about your blind appointment - I've booked one too (thanks for mentioning it or I'd never have known) - please let me know how it goes.

    Edit: apparently the money corner is the back left corner of your house as you stand in the door facing inwards. I knew it! The disgusting corner of our kitchen where the recycling is piled around a broken radio. Going to fix it now! Shall I put the goldfish there?

    If i get unexpectedly pregnant or married, I will know who to blame.

  • Hi Hypno, your dining room table (as was) sounds like my kitchen worktop - everything ends up there, then gets hidden in the drawers under there, before getting "tidied" up into boxes under the bed, only to be replaced by the latest lot of stuff that is sort of semi-important so needs to be somewhere handy but doesn't get touched for weeks! ;)

    The book sounds good - does it have anything on organising your wardrobe? I pulled all my clothes out last night in an attempt to sort out/ throw out/ decide what few vital things I need to buy, but didn't make much progress and now have a mass of clothes everywhere... oops...
