    Good plan Buffy! You seem much more focussed, if you don’t mind me saying so.

    I read something the other day that talked about manifesting the things you want by acting as if you have them. Now don't panic, I don't buy into that at all but one of the convenient explanations the author had for those of us who don't magically have the things we "wish" (and yes I know it is more complicated than that but you get the idea) is because our brains/universe think what we want is to continue having the fantasy - because we put so much effort into the fantasy  not how to achieve the fantasy. For example I fantasize a lot about meeting a man via my friend and her hubby, we go out we bump into him and his work friends and one of them is nice (for the record none of them are!) Any how the fantasy, the walk along the river, the meal, the dress. Any how all very detailed. Whilst I don't believe that I can manifest my dreams or however I am meant to explain it I do think I have just gone into daydream mode rather than action mode this holiday, I have been putting a wishbone where my backbone should be, Mum hasn't been well and I have looked after her but I escape to my little day dreams without putting enough progress in place without taking action. So there needs to be action. 
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Since creating my vision board, things have been a lot different for me. I think it’s the same principle. 

    I’m very much a believer in creating your own future however, I’m also a huge day dreamer so this makes sense to me!

    Exactly, I do think you make your own future but in my case I actually have to do something.

    Oh yeah, that’s me too! I didn’t do much time dreaming that I forgot to do! I’m still waiting to win the lottery 😂

  • Oh my lottery winning fantasies are SO detailed. 

    I know exactly what I would I do. There is an old house near me, I call it the Agatha Christie house and when I win the lottery I will buy it. I won't let soul less developers buy it and knock it down. I will buy it and do it up. Add a swimming pool and a fish pond and rent out rooms - of course loads of interesting guests and murders will occur and I as the owner will have to solve them!  And I would have a dog and an on/off relationship with the gardener :) 

    You will now all think I am crazy :):):)

    I’ve had some right good ideas if I win the lottery! 

    They’ve mellowed a lot over the years!

  • My plans all went WHOOSH when the not foster boy got suddenly very ill. I took him to the vets at 9am and we couldn't find a cause, I put him outside in the run for most of the day and he wouldn't eat or barely move. It didn't feel like stasis and I took him back to the vet essentially to have him put to sleep, as there wasn't any diagnosis to treat and I was worried he might be in pain. I have had three very sick rabbits and honestly thought there was no hope. 

    The vet examined him and he was a little bit feisty and I was so hesitant and the vet was keen to try syringe feeding and see, and it took until 9pm! but he took the syringe feeding really well and is now eating more normally. He isn't totally out of the woods as he could still have something badly wrong with him but hopefully it is the arthritis making him weaker and that leading to the others picking on him and the after affects of the dental surgery. 

    He will be a house rabbit now xxx
