BlueCat Yep she went from a kind of WTF. Attitude to saying she understood my reasoning, doesn't like tattoos but understands why I want the one I want. Just need to make a appointment now, hopefully for this week.

I'm so disappointed. I've just had to cancel a course that I was booked to go on in August. It was a permaculture teacher training course, but sadly a combination of travel arrangements, child care and finding someone to take care...

BlueCat That's a real shame as I know you were looking forward to the trip, but there's always next year - and you never know, things tend to happen for a reason so maybe the powers that be have something else in mind you for this summer!

Many people wanted to leave their office jobs and start working at home for several reasons. Some of them simply wanted to be close to their family while others find working at home a stress-free way of working. There are still so...

BlueCat I started my own business working from home about five years ago - mainly because I wanted to be around more for my kids. I love the flexibility of working from home - if I want to take a day off I can rearrange my projects to do that. I also love that I'm not...

BlueCat I think I've only owned one hoodie in my life! When I was a kid they really weren't around, and once they were popular I just felt like I was too old (and fat!) to look good in them. Shame really because I do love hoodies on my kids, they look good and are...

BlueCat That's kind of my thought too - if someone decides they don't like me because I have a tattoo that's their problem, not mine. But then gain, my whole family hate tattoos so there is probably going to be trouble from my parents when I get one - even though I'm...

BlueCat I think I'd try to dissuade her Actually - or encourage her to think about it for a very long time. I'm a very different person now I'm in my forties to how I was when I was 18. If I'd got a tattoo then it would probably have been for a band or something I'd...

BlueCat I think Di Matteo has been successful because he has passion for the club - that's the same reason why Morinho was so successful - and all the managers in between lacked that passion and just saw it as a job/ money which is why they failed. Trouble is I...

I was talking to a friend recently who was pleased because she had taken another step towards achieving her five year plan. I'm pleased for her, but it did make me feel rather lacking as I don't manage to plan beyond the end of...

BlueCat One more thing - rather than have a plan I do have a list of things I want to learn and experience, places I want to visit etc. the idea was to work through the list of 101 things in 1001 days - I won't get everything done but it does give me ideas to work...

BlueCat I guess it depends how you define success. In business i enjoy what I do (most of the time) and I get good feedback from my customers so in that wy yes, I am successful. But when it comes to actually earning enough to pay the bills I'm not quite there yet! I...

BlueCat Really depends what kind of books you enjoy! If you like family based dramas then Jodi Picoult is a good beach read - her books do tend to follow the same formula so you can't read too many in a row before they get boring, but now and then they are good. if...

BlueCat I'm also thinking of getting a tattoo on my wrist. Years ago I hated them but for the last ten years I've been thinking about it and now the time is right - I think it might be a mid life crisis actually, as my kid has just turned 18 and I am the parent of an...

BlueCat I have never really planned anything - I just tend to meander through life dealing with what it throws at me. That's probably why I've never really been hugely successful at anything - the people I see doing really well are those with a vision who are...

BlueCat The wisdom of youth (or lack of it!) I guess part of me would love to just take off with no plans and see what happens. Another part of me would have everything planned to the nth degree!

BlueCat I am interested as to why you consider you were "blessed" to have no gap year. For me it was a very important time - I grew up a whole lot during my gap year, and I experienced things I don't think I'd have done if I'd not taken a break from education.

BlueCat When I was 18 I took a gap year - but it became more than a year as I then didn't start my degree for about 15 years! For me personally I felt that I had spent a very long time in education and I wanted to experience something else before I embarked on further...

BlueCat Can you not delegate some work to him? He'll either muck in - which could help you guys out - or with any luck he'll get the message that you're busy and go away!
