In my last post: My View on The Law of Attraction – Including Pro/Cons Lists, I discussed The Law of Attraction in great detail. Thinking about The Law of Attraction was useful in terms of me developing some wishes and goals for my life. Here they are, some may not appear to be realistic, but The Law of Attraction encourages you to think and feel big, so that’s exactly what I’ve done here:
Health:
My Diabetes is in perfect control.
I sleep well. I have plenty of energy.
I’m healthy and happy.
I relax regularly.
I always have plenty of food available to me.
Money:
I have millions of pounds in the bank.
I am financially secure and prosperous.
I have active subscriptions to Disney+, Amazon Prime, Amazon Music and Netflix.
Home:
I own a home with a garage and garden.
I always feel safe and love at home.
I live near Rivington.
My home is always clean and tidy. I have a cleaner that helps with this.
Career:
I spend my days writing books, blog posts and articles, working 7am to 3pm, Monday to Wednesday (3 days a week).
I spend one day a week (Thursday) doing addiction counselling.
Social / Romantic Relationships:
I have a secure and happy relationship with a handsome, kind and funny man. I marry this man.
My family, friends and husband are happy and supportive of me.
I regularly do fun things with family, friends and my husband including: theatre trips, music gigs and comedy shows.
I go on holiday twice a year, one holiday in the UK and one holiday abroad. Both holidays are enjoyable, places of beauty with lots of fun things to do.
I’m not generally a fan of the word crisis. It is used far too frequently in the sensationist media. But the cost of living in the UK is definitely heading towards a crisis point.
The costs of the basics, food, water, shelter, electricity and clothing is rising at an alarming rate and much higher than people’s wages. Add to this a rise in Taxes (National Insurance). Some of the poorest in our society are simply put not going to make ends meet.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. Our openly corrupt Government could make some different choices, ones that would help all. For example, they could:
Scrap the planned rise in National Insurance Tax (due in April 2022).
Reduce or Scrap the taxes raised on Food and Fuel. This action alone would benefit everyone and significantly reduce people’s outgoings.
But the rich, those who are most resilience to increases in the cost of living, decide our fiscal policies. They have no idea what it is like to be poor or to struggle.
I can only hope that the economy starts to nose dive and that they make some real decisions then to deal with the cost of living crisis.
Currently it doesn’t know what support it will get from the Government. Zoo Keepers fear that the financial support won’t be enough until they are able to re-open again. They have taken the dramatic step of stating their financial state and are asking for donations.
Chester Zoo is one of my favourite zoos and one that I have many happy memories from. I will of course be making a donation. And you can here. But I don’t think they’ll be able to raise £1.6 million every month.
Chester Zoo needs to look at diversifying their income streams. Here are some ideas:
Get your merchandise online – You have a huge range of products in your shop that would sell well online.
Do pay-per-view/pay-to-download animal talks and feeding times on online.
Do virtual tours with a tour guide. This would be an exciting way to see the zoo and it might mean that we get to see all the animal talks and feedings in one day.
More corporate sponsorship of exhibits and consider a sponsorship page on your website.
Independently publish a series of Chester Zoo Insight books on Amazon Kindle Direct. Independently publishing will cost you the time to create the content (the photos and text) but won’t cost you anything to print and you won’t have to deal with shipping (Amazon will take care of that).
Publish back copies of your Z magazine online. Sell them at a low cost and you’ll sell more.
Consider setting up a lottery. Cats Protection do this well here.
It will be really sad if Chester Zoo closes. There are some aspects of life that shouldn’t involve money and caring for animals is one of them.
Small safe: ideal for passports, cash and jewelry.Inside the Small Safe: Has holes on back and bottom for bolting.Small Safe Key: Double bit lock, modern aiming to prevent the use of the Bulgarian pick method.Bolts for securing to wall or other surface (such as inside a wardrobe).
The Pros are:
Small – Doesn’t take up much space and perfect size to be hidden away somewhere. It is the ideal size for passports, cash and jewelry.
Easy to install and secure into place with bolts.
Double Bit lock.
Three keys provided.
Lightweight.
Colour black means it may not be noticed by a thief or others whom you might not want to know about it.
I imagine it would be more difficult for a thief to get into than a standard key lock cash tin.
No need to remember a combination code.
No electronics therefore no chance of electronic failure or the requirement of replacing batteries.
It would take a thief quite some effort to get into it. However an expert lock smith could probably open it easily (should you ever loose your keys).
Price and availability are good.
Lots of positive reviews on amazon.
The Cons are:
The safe is so lightweight that it requires bolting to a surface. Otherwise a thief could literally pick it up and walk off with it. I would also recommend that you hide it away somewhere e.g. in the wardrobe, or under the bed, or at the back of a cupboard, or somewhere similar. However if you had a cash tin the thief could do the same, the difference being that this small safe gives you the option to bolt down whereas a cash tin can’t be bolted down.
It isn’t fire resistant or fireproof. However it probably is more secure than fireproof safes.
Only someone with a key can access. This means if someone hasn’t got a key but you need them to gain access for you, they wont be able to. Unlike a combination safe were you could give them the code.
There are probably more secure safes on the market. This is not necessarily a Con, just a fact. But this is the only one of this small size that I could find.
It isn’t big enough to keep documents in. This is not necessarily a Con either. It’s just something to be aware of if you’re looking for a safe to keep documents in.
A tip if you choose to buy this safe: There is a trick to getting the key into the lock. You need to line up the missing bit out of the key head to the red dot on the lock. Then the key will slide easily into the lock.
There are more pros than cons for this small safe. I’m happy with my purchase. For obvious security reasons I’m not going to tell you where I’m keeping my safe or what I intend to put in it.
Blog soon,
