Having only been in business for seven months [seeing clients for five], I have had a peculiar but definately fascinating wow month!

First, one of my ex clients rang to tell me she wanted to blag my name as she has been filmed for a programme soon to be aired on Channel 4 [Going Naked]

Second, I have been alerted to the fact that my website has been nominated for three different awards for Hants Web Awards 2007.

Given that I am not happy that the GPs are now employing new staff in the form of computers [to help individuals combatt depression with the CBT model], I have written to many MPs and the local media. I may be on a winning streak but for how long before they squash me flat????????? I can hear their howls now, "who is this interfering meddling woman?"

Sounds as if you are on the right track, Lavinia. Well done!

Wishing you well,

Alison

Congratulations Lavinia, great. Have you listed your website anywhere?
BTW, if you have no thoughts of them squashing you, it won't happen. You attract what you FEAR.

Thank you. Given what I have been put through over the last five years.........this could be the ultimate walk in the park!

Clients reinforce how useful I am in aiding their recovery in self esteem and self empowerment which is more than the government. Yes?

Besides, Sir George Young knows what I had to go through four years ago when I initially had to enlist his help. I do hope he remembers, even vaguely, so that he can see no matter what life events hit us, some of us still want to give back to the community to make this world a more bearable place to live in!

Like it!!

Sadly, Sir George Young emailed back that he could not help me as I was no longer living in his constituency. My quick reply was that there are thousands in his constituency who are faced with the options of antidepressants or the pc! So, it was something for him to be proactive about! I have not had a reply!

Social Enterprise Coalition are organising an event on the 23 May which I am trying to find out more info like time and venue. But it is trying to encourage small businesses assist in the future shaping of services provided in the health market. Carl, isn't this what you are angling for with the petition?

Can I throw a strop???????

The amount of MPs who advise me that they can only help the individuals in their constituent!!!!!!!! So I have been sending back emails asking them how many individuals in their constituent have been offered antidepressants or the pc!

The best laugh was this evening. Lib dem came to my door asking for my support for the election and I said I would on the proviso they have the courtesy to answer my two emails over the last fortnight!

Hmmm, this is going to be a very long stroll through the park, don't you think?
