Mission: Home Organisation and De-cluttering
Just the thought of organising and de-cluttering your house makes you want to run out of town. There are so many items on your to-do list that need to get done, not to mention having to get through your daily routine, that you simply don’t have time to tackle a project of this magnitude.

Think about how it makes you feel not to have your home or your life organised. You may not know it, but somewhere tucked away in your subconscious mind lies these thoughts which will keep hounding you until the job is done.

Two thugs, stoned out of their heads on drugs and booze, broke into this law abiding mans home, and threatened to rape his wife and kill his family. He used the only weapon he had to hand which was a Samurai sword. In doing so he nearly severed one of the thugs ears. He has been cleared of all the charges.

Taking a compliment
It would seem us women are not very good at accepting compliments. An article I read recently said that whenever women recieved a compliment on their looks, they replied that the person doing the complimenting obviously needed glasses!
