I’ll start with the horoscopes – they were pretty accurate today, at least they would’ve been if I’d read them on Friday! They said that although it’s not a smart idea to just disregard my budget, I might be able to justify spending more than I planned...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Brionys_Guidetolife/667050Sorry, sorry… Survived Another Day has become survived another fortnight! Good news though eh?! Still here afterall. For a while though, it’s going to become Survived Another Week as I’ve now realised it isn’t physically possible to do everything I actually need to do in 24 hours in 24 hours! Or,...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Brionys_Guidetolife/665543Okay – a little imagination is required here – just squint a bit and imagine that this is a really fierce black panther snarling menacingly at you. Got it? Then I’ll begin… PMT – don’t blame me! No really – don’t blame me, not while it’s PMT, not unless you’re prepared to face the consquences. It...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Brionys_Guidetolife/665426Read an exellent article today which was particularly useful for a relatively new blogger/ writer like me, so I will share my new source with you – generous as I am (and it costs nothing – yes I’m a good Yorkshire lassie). It was an article entitled ‘How to find your writing voice’ and can be...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Brionys_Guidetolife/664929Frustration? I can’t tell you how frustated I am (and don’t take that the wrong way!). In fact I’m claiming the monopoly on frustration today. It took me 15 minutes to get out of the office – why is it that everyone wants to talk to me at 5.30? What’s wrong with 9.30 – help me fill the day, come...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Brionys_Guidetolife/664729Starting this post on a slightly different note to the planned version – just as I was settling down to type, I heard the most horrendous screech of brakes outside and several chilling impact noises followed by the constant sound of a car horn. Not too difficult to figure out there’d been an...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Brionys_Guidetolife/664620Firstly - I didn't win £2 on the dream number yesterday so I'm expecting a larger small sum of money coming my way. Optimism is the key - I'm ruling out finding 5p down the back of the sofa (not even going to look, therefore it can't be that. I am in control of the situation!). There again,...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Brionys_Guidetolife/664555In the words of Christopher Columbus ‘By prevailing over all obstacles and distractions, one may unfailingly arrive at his chosen destination.’ Thank you Christopher for uttering those wise words (otherwise know as stating the obvious – or is that just me?!). Regardless, today has been fraught...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Brionys_Guidetolife/664223I’m going to start with a prayer tonight: Please God, next week don’t let me press the button for chocolate filled crepes when doing my online shopping. Amen. I feel like a beached whale – they’re so moreish. There’s 8 in the pack and I’ve just eaten all of them one after the other without a...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Brionys_Guidetolife/658706According to my stars, I'm too inspired by the bigger picture to pay attention to things that seem trivial. That's right I'm afraid - the bigger picture being my Hollywood blockbusting script and the trivial things being this year's budget and sales forecast. To my shame, in this year's budget...
