My personal experiences of the luxury of a spa visit have been few and far between and to be honest, a little scary.
Loo With A View
Submitted by debsjenkins on Thu, 19/06/2008 - 10:39am.One of the things I noticed when visiting friends at the weekend was that their loo had a lovely view!
Instead of reading a magazine or the back of the shampoo bottle I was able to gaze up the mountain, into the pine forests and watch the birds and the bees do their thing, whilst going about my important business.
I estimate that I spend about 30 minutes each day on the loo (sometimes more if I have a good book on the go!) - that's 30 minutes of viewing time.

For Book Ideas
Submitted by debsjenkins on Fri, 24/08/2007 - 5:00pm.We've just added a new group and forum for people who have a book idea to get open and honest feedback. I don;t know how this might work out yet, but we have lots of people who need a little advice and we have lots of people who have plenty of advice to give. Hopefully this group will allow those people to get together in a constructive way!
So, if you have an idea for a book then join up to the gorup and post the synopsis. If you love critiquing other people's ideas (in the nicest possible way!) then please join and make your services available.
