is a big garden. And I just can never seem to get up the motivation to get out there and give it a damn good sort out. There are things that need pruning, tidying up, digging up, brushing away so I’m setting myself the goal starting from Saturday 21st Nov to put on the timer for 10 minutes and get out there and so something. So then when it snows I know that it’s all sorted and I don’t have to worry about having to try to rescue it all come spring. If the timer goes off and I feel like staying out there then so be it but if I don’t then I’m not going to feel guilty about it but just come in, make a cup of coffee and get warm.

How I did it: This has probably been one of my longest standing goals here on 43T. It has been over 5 years since my dear Dad died. I still miss him, I will always miss him. The need for him to still be here present in my life physically probably won't ever go away but as I tell the small people, he will live forever in my heart (and theirs) and I am a part of him and as my Mother likes to remind me, many of my mannerisms and characte… Read how I did it…
How I did it: The former him indoors got us tickets through his work so himself, big one and moi went off to Aberdeen this very evening and laughed ourselves silly. Me and big one both splashed out on the souvenir programmes that came with a poster, 4 postcards and a bag.

How I did it: I have always been someone who takes great pleasure in seeing others smiles and more often not being the source of their amusement. There are so many way to do this and to achieve this goal. From the simple fact of just smiling at someone else, to doing something for them that you know will bring them pleasure. It doesn't have to be complicated, it doesn't have to be a chore and do you know what if you keep smiling the p… Read how I did it…

The One Minute Millionaire – Mark Victor Hansen and Robert Allen.
My friend has lent me this, I’m not completely sure why. Maybe she wants me to become a millionaire. An interesting read but I’m actually not sure I feel the need to be a money millionaire right now.
