    HI Hypno

    The waterfall one could be dodgy if your subject had a full bladder!

    Something that would be useful to me is one that gave me an aversion to the MSE website!

    it maybe be a money saving expert site but it's also a time addictive web site if i got paid my hourly rate for the length of time i'm on here i would be debt free by now and saving for my emergency fund (that's my plan after i;m debt free 3 months wages emergency)

    Hello again - just wondered if you'd seen the thread on 'how do insurers decide whether to pay out: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=470694
    It was featured in the weekly email.

    Elantan - snap! And the irony is I do get paid for sitting at my computer so every hour spent on MSE really is an hour I could have been earning. I think I'm going to start keeping a record so I can see how much I have 'spent' on MSE.

    So how much money has been wasted in "man hours" on MSE today while I have been away then :confused:

    It feels SO strange, only logging on here once or twice a day, and then only for a few mins at a time! Goodness knows how I would cope if, heaven forbid, I went OUT TO WORK!!!!!

    It feels really bad because in the few mins I am on here I am only posting on one or two thread, so I have given no help to newbies or to give support on other people's diaries........which makes me feel a tad guilty.

    Plus you are all probably having a really fab time without me, setting up running clubs and the like.............I miss MSE!!!

    Hark at me - I am hardly out of touch for more than a few hours and I cannot cope :rotfl:

    Hope everyone is well. Needless to say I have more scripts to write this evening............have only got 2 sides of a4 paper so far for tomorrow.....must try harder.

    No, I have three days next week to do as well. At least I get a bit of a break over the weekend, although I suspect I will be hoping that the creativity flows easier than it is currently doing!!

    Hi hyp,

    Good for you working hard, hope those MP3s get downloaded like hot cakes (hmm doesn't really work as a metaphor, does it?)

    My OH used to do a guided visualisation thingy (except he didn't call it that) with the children involving getting them to picture a tiny leaf falling off a tree into a mountain stream, and making its way down as the tiny stream got bigger and joined up with other streams etc etc. In the end it was a wide river with ships on, flowing sedately out to sea. I could never work out if it was meant to be an allegory for life or what, but they used to love it.
