General blogging


Every day something happens to make me appreciate how lucky I am. Today it was sitting in the audience watching my son’s school performance of The Sound Of Music, or at least a very small part of it.So why am I so lucky? Well, there are many reasons.

My son has autism and will be leaving his current school this summer. Whilst his disability often gives me sleepless nights, I realised my troubles are nothing compared to those of many parents. The diversity of problems faced by the other children who attend the same wonderful Special Needs School; make my son’s autism seem a blessing. That’s something I never thought I’d say.

Another reason I am so lucky is I work from home, which gives me total freedom. I chose to be my own boss and as such I set my own hours. I never feel guilty about taking time out to visit the doctor or dentist. I can schedule trips as required and attend important things(to me at least) as school plays. I don’t have to ask permission from anyone, which is just as well as this year I went twice.

Ever since I had my menopausal moment and decided to do something on the internet I’ve been repeatedly told the easiest way to make money is by affiliate marketing.  I’ve also been repeatedly told, “the money is in the list”.

The statement has always been very specific, but it had me confused for ages because no-one actually elaborated and told me how to build a list, yet alone what to do with it to get any money. 

It’s alright saying “the money is in the list”, but how do you get it out? A few people suggested sending e-mails at regular intervals, some even recommended sending them every day or even twice a day, which I have to confess, I found disturbing.

My Menopausal Moment Makes Me Money by Jean Shaw on April 16th, 2008

I have always been an early bird and am very good at getting up in the mornings.  I know it’s not the case for everyone though, and often see people drag themselves, bleary eyed past my house on their way to catch the morning train. 

I feel sorry for them, especially when the weather is bad and know they’ll arrive for work cold and wet.  In the summer too, when the weather is warm and sunny, they’ll be stuck indoors trading their time for money making someone else richer.
