I’m neglecting my garden

by

The last time I was in the garden doing any work was more than a week ago. I tidied up the front garden beds and really meant to get to the backyard to finish the half that I had left to trim, prune and fix up, but I just haven’t got back there to do it.

Last weekend, not this one, last weekend we even went to a garden center and I bought some Tomato plants, cucumbers and a lot of other veggies as well as a few annuals to plant. Have I do anything with them other than water them three times? Nope!

I’ve just not been feeling well enough to get out there and get the work done.

It’s a shame really. The plants are surviving without me, but I know if I got out there and trimmed the dead wood off the rose, and pruned them into shape it would help stimulate them and make then grow a whole lot more. Also … I’d rather work with them now to shape them before they grow too much as it will be harder job and uh … more dangerous to my skin as they get bigger and fuller.

since I have more than 60 roses it’s quite interesting to take a look at my hands and arms after I’ve been working with them. I wear gloves but the thorns sometimes punch right through the gloves. I’ll come in after an hour or two of pruning and I’ll have scratches from the roses all the way up to my shoulders, or well … pretty close!

Is gardening a dangerous activity in your yard too?






Got a problem? Try an Instant-Hypnosis recording

by

Almost everyone has something about themselves that they’d love to try to improve, fix or cure. Whether it be losing a few pounds, becoming less insecure, improving memory, getting over a fear of something, or even improving their health.

There are many ways in which we can try to fix ongoing problems or improve ourselves, but I’m wondering, have you ever thought of using hypnosis as a way to improve or cure some of the problems that you’ve encountered in life?

There’s a website called Instant-Hypnosis.com that has hypnosis downloads for just about every kind of problem or personal self improvement desire that you might have.

You might be laughing right now at the idea of using a hypnosis recording to help you improve on something, but I can tell you that it does work in some cases.

Take my husband for example. He’s a really sweet guy that would do just about anything for anyone. He comes off as being one of the most easy going people that you’ve ever met. I’m sure people think that his life must be totally stress free. However, since he was a child he’s had a lot of trouble sleeping. This is because he doesn’t seem to know how to get rid of stress. I think it’s because he doesn’t let it out like most of us do by getting angry or talking it out. He keeps that stuff inside and it comes out at night when he’s trying to sleep.

When he was 18 or so he came to Toronto to go to College and his sleeping got worse because he was in a new city, and was under pressure to do well in his studies. He started using a self hypnosis tape to simply help him relax and to help him get to a peaceful place where he could sleep and it worked like a charm. He still pulls that tape out when he’s having a lot of trouble sleeping.

The Instant-Hypnosis website has over 300 professionally created hypnosis sessions. All of these sessions are available in the form of MP3 downloads, or on audio CD.

I’m going to list a few of the Instant-Hypnosis downloads that you can get on the site. If self improvement is your goal you could purchase the Self-Esteem Booster, Positive Thinking, or the Be Assertive hypnosis recordings. If you have a problem that might actually affect your health or the way you live you might be interested in purchasing the Stop Smoking, Release your Anger, Child Abuse Survivor or the Attention Deficit Disorder recordings.

Other instant Hypnosis recordings that might interest you are Sales Success, Language Learning, Speed Reading, Stop Procrastination, Achieve Goals, Release ANY Fear, Fear of Flying, Cure Gambling Addiction, Fear of Heights, Fear of Water, Stop Panic Attacks, Cure Insomnia, Cancer Help, Healthy Eating, Get Over Bereavement, Stop Jealousy, Enjoy Deep Sleep, and Manage your Pain.

Many of the recordings that I just listed are real problems for people. Some are also worthy goals that if achieved, such as stop procrastination, could improve the way you work and might even lead to promotions and a better lifestyle.

I personally live in chronic pain due to my Crohn’s disease. I’ve tried just about everything to either stop the flares or lessen the pain that I live in from medicines to various therapies and diets. Certainly listening to an MP3 or audio CD recording of how to manage your pain is worth a shot.

If you’re interested in trying one or more of the Instant-Hypnosis recordings you’ll be pleased to know that the company offers multi-purchase discounts, and free MP3 player software with every purchase. The prices seem quite reasonable at just 12.95 for an MP3 download, or $25.95 for an audio CD.

If you’d like to try out the Instant-Hypnosis recordings there’s a special voucher that will allow you two free hypnosis sessions. Just click the link to get the voucher code.

Hey some of these Instant Hypnosis recordings might even make a great gift for someone you know.

Professional carpet cleaning – Southern Counties Cleaning

by

We have very few carpets in our home because both my husband and I have allergies to dust and mites. So you can imagine how important it is for the two of us that the carpets that we do have, and that the rest of the house remain as clean as possible in order to keep our allergy symptoms at bay.

That’s one of the main reasons why I decide to write this for Southern counties cleaning.co.uk. SCC specializes in carpet cleaning. They provide their carpet cleaning services to the following areas within the UK – London, Surrey, Kent and west Sussex.

You may be thinking “I vacuum regularly and we don’t have allergies, I don’t need a carpet cleaning service.” but did you know that having your carpets professionally cleaned regularly will help keep them looking good longer, and perhaps extend the life of your carpet? Carpeting a room or a whole house is an expensive undertaking. Isn’t it wise to protect your investment?

What about spots and stains? I’m sure that most people with carpeting in their homes have had a spill on the carpet that’s left a mark. Oh sure, you’ve tried to remove it with products you’ve purchased in the market, but they don’t always work well do they? That’s just one more reason to have your carpets professionally cleaned. Professionally carpet cleaners are often able to remove the spots and stains that we can’t – no matter how hard we’ve tried.

Sand, soil and grit will eventually take a toll on your carpet by damaging the fibers as they are repeatedly walked upon. Bacteria within the carpet can cause odours, and dust mites can cause or exacerbate allergies. Having your carpets professionally cleaned regularly will help control these problems, and as I said earlier extend the life of your carpet.

Have I convinced you yet as to why you should get your carpets professionally cleaned every now and then? I hope I have. In my husband and I’s case it’s a matter of maintaining our health. That’s a good enough reason for us.

SSC carpet cleaners service private homes and all types of premises. If you live in the Southern Counties of the UK consider hiring them to clean your carpets.
