I went to the dentist again today and had  some work done. The dentist, quite an attractive lady, smiled at me as she stuck in the needles then saying how sorry she was, while still smiling of course.

Now call me a cynic, but I have a deep rooted fear of dentists as does almost everyone I know and those that take up the profession must know this and therefore maybe they enjoy watching us go through  the excruciating embarrassment that we go through whilst trying to act hard while secretly wetting our pants.

They know we are scared they can smell it I am sure. Well I am sure she could in my case as she wore a double mask. Although I got to say I was not really that bothered and whilst it may be uncomfortable and the injections sting a bit, it does not hurt.

Says a man that has not been to the dentist for 20 years

Well after dribbling for the last 3 hours the feeling and now the pain of the work is beginning to hit me so, I am going to drnk a cup of tea, now I can without dribbling and take 5000 milligrams of some very strong pain killer… Why? Beacuse I can..

Finding Villas to rent in spain is a lot easier today with the internet websites available. However, you do need to be careful where you go.

The sites that allow you to contact the owner directly so that you can ask questions and find out about local information for your holiday are the best ones to go to.

Self catering villas and apartments are a lot better than they used to be. They are very well fitted out and equiped with all the mod cons.

Have a great holiday this year in your own private villa with your own swimming pool and maybe even a Jacussi.

Make sure that you use a website like www.accommodationrental.co.uk and have a great holiday.

I am so happy to be married to a lovely woman, Sharon, who means the world to me. Not only that she is so organised compared to me.She keeps me on the straight and narrow. I would be totally lost without her.

I discovered some time ago that I have ADD (attention deficit disorder) and whilst there are many benefits to this condition there are a few downsides. The main one not being able to complete a task!!

This is not good when you are trying to pack to move house.

We are moving to Bali, Indonesia and have decided to not take a lot, compared to when we moved to the UK and had a whole container of stuff to bring back.

We figure that we will get over to the new place and buy what we need and then bring over what we can’t find.

Nick nacks don’t mean much to us men and Sharon is pretty good too. Which is great as the shipping costs to Bali are not cheap.

So, just the essentials, computer, xbox, playstation and some clothes for me and Daniel. A little more for the girls

My problem is I am able to empty out all the cupboards but sorting it all out is beyond me. I know this sounds stupid but if you suffer with ADD you will know exactly what I am talking about.

I am sure I am getting worse with age. I think that ADD is being aided by the early onset of dementia as I forget everything. What was it I was meaning to say….

Another problem I have is hoarderitis. Now I am not sure that this is the correct terminology for the said disease but an affliction it is.

I cannot throw anything out. There was a program on the telly where the council went in to this guys house to empty it, as he collected so much crap you could not get into the house. Without Sharon I would be the same I think. With that in mind it is time to get out of the house for a while and let the whirling dervish get on with throwing things out. Oh how that pains me!!!

I am amazed at the amount of people trying to sell how to make money online courses. Yet these so called experts have never made any money online themselves.

They read a book or course, copy it and try to sell it. Promising untold millions, overnight success and give up your day job.

They say copy my formula and you will be rich beyond your wildest dreams.

It is sad actually as they are aiming at those people who really need the money and can least afford to be wasting on these false promises or who really need to make some money. They spend their hard earned cash on one course after another and none of them work.

Whilst there are some great ways to make money online the big problem with is that the sales letter promise the world and are very compelling, they are designed to draw you in and take you through a sales process that will have your drooling and pulling out your wallet as if you are in a trance.

The unfortunate thing is that very few of these courses actually help you make real money online and this is for several reasons.

1. People buy them and do not take any action
2. They follow the process but give up when they reach the first hurdle
3. The course does not tell you how to really make money, they miss out the meat of the strategy and then try to upsell you on a much more expensive course.
4. The stragey that the guru is using works because he has friends with massive lists
5. The guy uses automated systems to really crank up the system and these are not easy to use for the technically challenged, which is most of us trying to make money online.
6. The system just does not work.

There are just so many scams.

The first thing that you need to do if you want to make money online is to look at what you are good at and decide what area of the Internet that you want to make money in.

You can go into blogging, e-commerce, training courses, marketing, trading, eBay and so many other types of businesses. List your strengths , skills and abilities and then choose an Internet business that will suit you.

Don’t read the shiny sales letters and get taken in by the promises of overnight success. It just does not happen like that.

I am amazed at the amount of people trying to sell how to make money online courses. Yet these so called experts have never made any money online themselves.

They read a book or course, copy it and try to sell it and guess what it says?

All you have to do is write and ebook on how to make money online and sell it!! This is like the old envelope address scam that was popular in the 80′s.

There are loads of ways to make money but it is so easy to get carried away with the hype and sale pitch. I knowI bought most of the crap out there. Most of it I already know and could have put it together better myself.

The thing is most of it is really easy to do. It is just about following a system and having a strategy to follow.

I suppose that most people like the idea of working for themselves but not the idea of working by themselves. This is why franchsies work so well.

So the best thing to do is find a group of like minded people and follow one, YES one formula and see it through to conclusion.

There are so many ways to make money and you need to pick one that suits you.

I am creating a free course called the start smart system which will help you choose exactly the business that is right for you.

We will look at all of the different ways to make money and help you choose one that is right for you.

Sign up in the box on the top right and you will be the first to know when it is up and ready to go.

until next time

I just got back on a flight from Goa. It was with Thomas Cook. I was really against flying on a charter for such a long haul flight.

The girl in the TC office sold me on the benefits of the premium cabin plenty of legroom only 2 seats across. What the woman failed to tell me was that the seats were more like wooden benches with hard pointy lumps in them.

Traveling with one of the other scheduled airlines would have meant flying from Manchester Goa via Heathrow and Mumbai.

However after an 11 hour flight sat on a chair made for torture, I will take the longer more comfortable route next time.

How many other people must feel the same way as me?

No wonder the idiots are losing money and customers when they fail to provide the basic comforts required for an 11 hour flight.

How difficult can it be to put a cushion on the seat to keep my bottom pampered the way I like it?

Mind you the entertainment was great. And I don’t mean the drunk girls that got escorted off the plane in Goa by Police armed with machine guns either.
