I'M NOT SHOUTING ...

RESEARCH HAS CLAIMED THAT SHOUTING / RANTING ETC. IS GOOD FOR YOU !

[couldn't agree more]

THE EFFECT OF SHOUTING/RANTING TRIGGERS THE BLOOD FLOW TO THE BRAIN - ESPECIALLY TO THE AREA WHICH CONTROLS POSITIVE EMOTIONS ~ IN TURN, YOU ARE CALMED DOWN MUCH FASTER.

[I didn't quite get this at first - and then thought about times things that had irritated me or offended me, had gone over and over in my mind, increasing an emotional state which hung around too long ... I can see why shouting would clear the thought pattern and stabilise you sooner]

So now we have the excuse to shout when and where we want ... although we might have to consider who we are going to shout at ??

Sketchers . . .

Tone-up ... Shape-up ...

Do these new training shoes work? Do they really tone up thighs and bums?

What's the difference between Shape-ups and Tone-ups?

I know I'm supposed to be the one with the answers ... but sure that daughters would know best on this one.

So, daughters out there ~ or mums who've got the info, please let me know which create the best effect?

Thanks

Clutter, Clutter and more Clutter ...

Apparently, Clutter in Feng Shui terms represents postponed decisions ... the inability to move forward ...

So it stands to reason that All Clutter should be removed - from everywhere. But then, what if we develop obsessive compulsive disorder in the process ?

I can easily understand that Clutter in the bedroom creates unrest and is said to prevent romantic lurvve ...

So remove excess books, newspapers, beakers, glasses and of course, mobile phones. Any connection with work is distracting, so too are leftover soft toys from childhood!

Life ... Lifeboard ... To Lifeboard ...

Take a look at this :

http://www.lifeboard.net/

If you want to get a life ... Lifeboard ~ It's basically setting your life out in pictures. A visual road map of your life which allegedly helps you plan your life's wants and needs.

You take the thoughts out of your head and lay them down in front of you ~

Basically, cut out images from magazines etc. that attract you ~ for whatever reason ~ colour, texture, implication, setting; a place you want to visit, people, words...

Under headings: career, family and friends, prosperity, love, marriage, success, paste the images into the boxes [preferably on a large pre-drawn segmented and labelled circle].


For further details, watch the video on youtube:
To be honest, I was more concerned in case Sue, Linda or Eva spilt the red wine all over their handywork .?. .?. .?.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUNK0m3M3iU&feature=player_embedded

It's argued that people who plan and focus are more successful than people who don't.

There's got to be something in it ~ I can see the point of seeing something in front of you rather than keep talking about the same topics over and over is the key ... The images are clearer to understand and identify ... and maybe subconsciously, they bring out the real wants and needs from deep down inside the individual ???

Have a go. It doesn't cost anything and may inspire or motivate you ...
Let me know how you get on ...

Right ... That's It ! ..........

I've been feeling like a bit of a moan, whinge, even rant ... and here it is:

Pet hates:

1. Bottles
Bottles that fall over ~ doesn't matter whether they belong in the fridge - balsamic vinegar etc. or in the shower, not forgetting moisturiser and other products which shall be named and shamed at a later date.

2. Labels
I don't mind whether its a 'designer' label or Primani - I HATE them ALL ~ especially when I try to cut them out of a newly purchased treat ~ and cut into the fabric by accident !!!

3. Padding
Okay, so some of us need padding ~ some of us want padding ~ some of us don't. But most of us are being forced into padding just because the new designs are printed on the padded bra !!! And they're often so Thermal !

4. High Leg
Okay, so thongs, lo-briefs, underpant knickers, 50's/60'srevivial styles, I agree, are all fabulous. But what about Mums ?? I/Many of us are in distress ... do we really want M & S Brigitte Jones for the over 40's? Unlike Bob the Builder ~ who seems to have a voice ... NO WE DON'T ! Why can't we have some sexy stuff that covers our life's lumps and bumps which don't reach our neck and made from thick ??? knows what?

5.Okay
That's enough for now ... even for me.

I'm not apologising for the rant ... please join and add any specific lingerie styles you require ... I'm sending the findings to designers for M&S. [Are they men BTW?]

Jill ~ still too cross to even add colour or italics ...

Did You Know ......,.

Putting off the hangover?????

Dance it out ... Yes ~ sweat it out on the dance floor ~ you'll feel better in the morning.

And don't forget the water ~ lots of it ~ keep a bottle of water on your desk ~ workspace ~ and make sure you keep sipping it.

Try 'Milk-thistle' from the health store - claims to aid liver function.

Try alternating water with your drink when socialising or if you find yourself over-indulging at dinner.

A small glass of wine contains approximately 120 calories [around 1/10 of your daily calorie intake]

Apparently, the French add water to their wine ~ I tried it ~ it's Okay.

Enjoy.
