    Am determined to stick with this thread, even though the Matrix lost its calling. I think it needs to go back to its old style routes (not all make do and mend) but just to reaffirm what the Matrix is all about. When I 1st joined we colllected 10,000 football kits for kids abroad, It was so TOTALLY motivated that people were flocking to join and add their stories and I totally believe that it can be not the same, but just as uplifting, again, as it was in the past. And the not too distant past. The matrix is about, reality, and positivity and doing what you can to add and help others. it is about the Matrix as a whole, and people as individual units, share, do, help be serendipitous, advise others of steps on the journey, just do it.

    I need to make arrangements with Marru too so that we can meet for coffee/chat and bubblewrap:cool: (sounds kinky I know:eek:).

    I have tomorrow bookmarked but don't know the schedule as yet. I will text you when I know. In the meanwhile there is a Monkey in the bath needing a shower ;)

    I and HTB are going to the registrar office today to apply for the marriage licenses :T

    Morning Everyone

    Welcome back Fantastia :)

    Marru congratulations,

    Ds2 has a physics exam today so he needs all the positive vibes he can get :) poor kid changed schools a few months ago cause as you know he hated his previous school, I battled with him every morning to get him to go. He would deliberately miss the buss knowing I could not get him to school.

    He is much happier now though, although he had to change some of his GCSE subjects and in his old school sciences were not compulsary (sorry can't spell lol) because he was in a welsh medium school, but the english medium school it is :( so he has missed out on nearly a year of sciences but still has to take the exam and had to learn nearly a years work in about two months :(. So positive vibes from 1-3 would be very appreciated.

    Horace: Thanks for starting the new thread and am chuffed you chose the title.

    Fantasia: Welcome back.

    Dorastar: So sorry you are having health issues. Seems at the moment that a lot of us are having slight wobbles health wise.

    Last day of my week off today - its been quite productive. I have given my entire house a very deep spring clean and a de-clutter and it certainly feels better for it.:j:j Now the house is better I feel a bit better.
    Am going to have a cooking session today and can hopefully get the veg planted at the weekend.
    Have a good day all.

    The thread is what you folks make of it, I do not remember the original Matrix and do not want to alienate those that do nor do I want to alienate the folks that enjoy the make do and mend because not all of us are rich with funds to donate to charity.

    I have done some of my planned jobs for the day and will now have to take my car to the dealership because the alarm is wonky. My own fault I dared to open the boot with the remote button instead of unlocking the doors with the key and now the alarm is permanently on and I cannot switch it off - thankfully it is no longer blaring noise but it is a pain nevertheless:(

    I also don't really know what the matrix was originally but as long as it is positive I don't mind.

    Feeling much more like me today - the health issue is a long term problem which I have only just realised is responsible for the pain and nausea I have every day (bit of a doh! moment when the doctor said that) Is not life threatening by any means and tbh probably just means I am neither as young or as invincible as I believed and that when people offer me help with things I should graciously say yes rather than independently struggle on (another doh! there)

    Have picked up dad's day pressies - photos of the kids for all 3 dad's/grandads but was dying to show someone and have resisted.
