How I did it
It made me

How I did it: Visited twice. Few hours each time, not long enough.Last time stayed at Travel lodge Covent Garden - absolutely fine and very convenient for walking to British Museum. Bought guide map and chose specific areas wanted to see in limited time we had. Began, walked around looking awestruck, asked guides when we lost our way. Would love a full day there.

How I did it: I decided to do a course which was being run locally. I had to pay to do itI was given a uniform and learning materials which were all about safety of client, therapist and materials, ie essential oils. I joined the class and we were given tutorials and watched lecturers use massage techniques on other class mates.We gradually began to practice and learn massage movements and techniques and to carry out consultations with family and frien… Read how I did it…

satisfied !
How I did it: Experimented. Followed good recipes and tips in books and websites. Practiced. Accepted the failures along the way.

there is now beginning to be some recognition (at long last) that chronic trauma suffered by children causes physiological changes to the brain and therefore short term memory and planning problems as adults – as per post-traumatic stress disorder.
That causes problems for me – I’m damn intelligent and articulate, yet someone gives me more than two verbal instructions or ‘demands’ an answer from me and I’ve had it. I have no immediate recall under even slight pressure. I end up looking like an idiot cos how can I explain where it comes from? Grrrr.

send 21 of these up into the sky after my son’s birthday meal.
However I think it will be too windy – wind has to be 5mph or under. Also have to light them in place far away from trees, houses etc and where they won’t be mistaken for emergency lights – and we live near the coast. Need to put that one on hold I think !
