    Just been back for another look at this one from groatie queen - will be favouriting it I can see.

    I've sent a couple of the e-cards and watched one of the videos (Brother David - a Good Day) - some lovely scenery on it. Groatiequeen has obviously found what I was scanning YouTube for this morning - but couldnt spot it myself.

    Think I will keep it and allow myself one topic per Sunday from it.

It is the work of Ralph Marston who is a wizard at putting together great powerpoints of images and music with inspirational thoughts, and has a daily inspiration page as well. Highly recommended for soul soothing and starting the day with a positive thought!

    By the way, as well as sending off the 'bought' videos, I've chucked the recorded-from-tv ones. I was amazed how many of the blank labels provided by Sony, JVC et al hadn't been used - so they're earmarked for freezer, jams, etc!

    If you have a talent, use it in every which way possible. Don't hoard it. Don't dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke.

    Hey all

    Just wondered if you'd seen this thread on MSE - might be of interest to some of you :

    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=497777&page=60

    and here for the very beginning of that thread
    Hate and I do mean Hate my apple Mac Computer - wish I'd never bought the thing
    Do little and often
    Please stop using the word "of" when you actually mean "have" - it's damned annoying :mad:
  • Thank you Mary, Rosie, and Ceredwin. And thank you again, Mary, for finding the time to help solve my other panic today - what a day! I'm very indebted.
    I do feel panicked, but will slow down and give myself a pat on the back. It is terribly disheartening sometimes, but having gone for what turned out to be a fantastic walk, I feel refreshed and revived. I'd like to get to the discussion about coming out the other end that you mention, Rosie.
    I will continue to read thru the thread, but I think your suggestion is a clever way to do it Ceredwin. I've been getting too bogged down, which slows me, and makes me feel I'm not getting anywhere. I wanted to follow groatie queen's link, but gave myself a stiff talking to. Time later on!
    Thank you, all. :T

    Its just a couple of posts really, #816 and #817. It is disheartening but just keep doing a little at a time and you'll begin to see results.

    To remind yourself of what you have achieved you could keep a note of what areas you've sorted or what list you've got rid of? ;)
    ... don't throw the string away. You always need string! :D

    The photography on that site is absolutely stunning... such a reminder of all the beauty in the world that is free. Thank you:A

    Another good one groatiequeen - very in keeping with the kind of stuff I have been linking with/Aril has found as quotes/etc. Wisdom and inspiration comes from all sources on my "thread" - it is very important I feel that we acknowledge that "water can be drawn from many different wells" and I am pleased to see that you and others have "caught" this so well.
