We often get UK shows here but they're at unusual times and I often miss them. I can at least keep an eye out for them though!<br /><br />Glad the trainer is being used every day and am looking forward to your next big walk. Hope you're around late May so you can meet myself and partner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-38653013298787410092012-03-19T17:39:36.212+00:002012-03-19T17:39:36.212+00:00I love to read your blog it is very inspirational....I love to read your blog it is very inspirational. I share the same philodphy as you regarding life. My dad passed away recently and I took time out of work and nursed him in his own home. Money was very tight as I only picked up statatory sick pay , but its changed my whole perespective on life. Ive slowed down and changed jobs, its less money, but I have more time for me. Im going to be thrifty and careful with money now as I have more time to think about what I'm doing instead of rushing all the time. I have adhd and the stress of constantly rushing was exhausting.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824945602643649612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-405287924826996252012-03-19T17:36:19.501+00:002012-03-19T17:36:19.501+00:00I need to get out there with a bin liner again now...I need to get out there with a bin liner again now that the weather's a bit nicer. I filled two last time in the space of less than a mile!! Mostly coffee cups, lots of soya milk cartons (randomly dumped in a bag in the hedge) and agricultural waste like empty fertiliser bags. <br /><br /><br />Poor people. I hope that people who are trying to find a job get one soon. It's best not to be too picky. Get the money coming in whilst you are hunting for that perfect job.Bryallenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03077654752721624785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-2952485871865071202012-03-19T11:10:59.394+00:002012-03-19T11:10:59.394+00:00Mary Portas was on the BBC breakfast programme one...Mary Portas was on the BBC breakfast programme one day last week. The knickers will retail at £10 per pair! I don't think I can bear to watch the programme- it will bring back too many memories of the early 1980s when it was my husband(then boyfriend) who had a despairing look on his face. He couldn't get a job for over 2 years after being made redundant twice by the time he was 18. I remember the absolute despair and hopelessness all too well even though 31 years have passed.Re the litter - like PP I raised my children to 'find a bin and put it in' - if that wasn't possible they put it in their pocket or bag and take it home with them.Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729719876504930455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-83956762930525579942012-03-19T08:02:01.941+00:002012-03-19T08:02:01.941+00:00I must say, I don`t do mother`s day.

'' <br />Well done for keeping your area litter free.<br />I`ve also raised three that know better than to throw litter around. Education about that starts in the home. If mum and dad don`t set a positive example the youngsters don`t care either.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09114653674812242486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-20481643399041132172012-03-19T01:11:42.063+00:002012-03-19T01:11:42.063+00:00ACK!

I thought I had slept two months during my nap today--Shades of Rip Van Winkle!<br /><br />Did you know that first comes litter, then vandalism, graffiti, and other crimes? Places that were having all these problems made a special effort to clean up the litter and the other crimes decreased and criminals/shady characters ceased to come to the area. It seems that if the area is free of litter, vandals think no one cares or is looking. Interesting, huh?<br /><br />One day, I was standing in my front door, obscured by the screen and shade of the trees out front. A car pulled in my driveway, so I wondered who it was. The door opened, and I expected a person to emerge. No, a hand with an ashtry full of butts emerged and dumped them in my yard. I was stunned since I live in an Historic District. If I had it to do all over, I would have gotten in the car, followed them, and reported to police. It is a $500 fine here. <br /><br />I must say that I raised three to adulthood who also do not litter. That makes me proud.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-17796716381828092102012-03-19T00:02:58.105+00:002012-03-19T00:02:58.105+00:00I read your blog and wish you would write a book.....I read your blog and wish you would write a book....Mothers day is for thanking our mums (what would we do) and remembering mums that are not with us. I told my daughter to have a frugal mothers day. So she went to the supermarket at 3.30 to get some cheap flowers. Perfect! A chip off the old block. Didn't get round to commenting yesterday, but I really enjoyed the Mary Portas program on your recommendation. Yes I had tears in my eyes at the young lad who was a natural sewer. Hope it turns out well for him and his family. Some people are born with fight and spirit aren't they.. Ilona!

You are very inspiring and I look forward to hearing about what you've been upto. You're doing a wonderful job with the litter and I will be following your lead here in Buckinghamshire in our local woods. Not so much the yoofs but the drivers by, out of the car window. Makes me mad!<br />Always makes me choked when I hear about Rocky dog as I have five fur babies and love them to bits. Keep up the good work.<br /><br />Sarah.
