    Think I need some feng shui - other people get Christmas cards on Christmas Eve - I got a tax bill from the Inland Revenue!

    They must have a warped sense of humour to send them out to arrive on Christmas Eve!

    Know how your feeling Minerva, got one of those too - and my reading another thread on here, so did loads of people!

    I did get made redundant from my job, but if i'm honest I was fed up there and really wanted to leave. My mum was going away for a while and so couldnt babysit my kids, so it ended up that instead of leaving of my own accord with usual pay packet, I got made redundant which timed in nicely with my mum going on holiday, and i got a few bob!
    I then went to get sorted out to sign on in the meantime and on my first visit they arranged for me to go to a job interview! Still awaiting the outcome! If its meant to be then its meant to be! but if not, then something else is just around the corner.

    So although things seemed so bad then, it doesnt seem that way, things are looking more hopeful.

    Good luck to everyone, and a happy new year!!

    I like the idea of feng shui, and I dont think you're mad.

    Can I ask what book you have - and is it fairly easy to follow?

    Some of the ones ive looked at can be quite confusing as to the areas.

    I only know about leaving the toilet seat down, so as not to have money flushed out of the household supposidly??!!!!
    Also much more hygienic!!

    How do you do the quoting again so you only get the bit you want?

    As someone who is Chinese and actually quite into feng shui, I can tell you it does have an effect, but there are a lot of factors to make it work, such as the year you were born, your house's placement as well as the current year's "position"..

    Althought there are always some basic feng shui tips, such as the placement of the bed and the use of mirrors...

    Thanks for p.m.ing the money spell - I had not read this thread for a while so missed the request.

    Would ask you if it helped but do not want to cause any controversy lol;)

    oh no, I'm a dragon too, I was feeling quite positive that it was gonna be a better year??? what do us dragons have instore then can i ask?

    Well, I got made redundant, but when i went to sign on (for the first time ever!) they had a job which they contacted me about, I went for the first test, and was then called back for a second interview on thursday! its all been very quick and very unexpected!!! which was nice. I may not get the job, but at least its a positive step to be put forward so soon! gave me a real boost, did a mega clean yesterday, repotted my money plant!
