Life's A Picnic

Number 10

www.deskwithaview.com ok..it's out there but not the idea I'm thinking of, so how about...The Drive Desk?

Now, why is it that when ever I have thought of an idea and then think about what to call it, the name is already highlighted? I didn't spend more than 2 minutes thinking up the name, but the idea I had whilst in 'Bug' this afternoon, sat with the roof down, overlooking the beach and the deep blue sea whilst paying Picnic Boat invoices!

If you can devise a desk that slots over the wheel of your car, van, truck whatever so that you can slide your seat back and instantly create a work area. Something light weight, maybe it can fold away?

Then, you see, all you reps out there or anyone that has an adversaty to being inside for too long can get the paperwork, drive to your favourite port of call with a view and make it your movable office.

Am liking this idea and think it could make you rich.

Sort Out My Life

Yes, you can sort out your own life, sure, but nice to have some help.Sort Out My Life is a service, run by a life coach and for one fee you get one consultation to give you the major step by step guide to make the choice and make the change. The change could be major or minor.

Examples:

1. A 21 year old man has no real qualifications, lives at home, no savings, but wants to do well, make an effort in life. He consults with the life coach, who finds out what his loves are perhaps and then suggests a time phase where he offers to work for free at appropriate place, to get foot on the ladder and maps out the phases he aims his progression to succeed. So from the beginning, he can see the end goal, the gold star, the dream become reality. then he can decide to sit back and do nothing, see here life takes him. Or, if he really wants the change, maybe now he can see the path of how to get there?

2. Couple in their 30's have jobs, house, children, all ok, but want several things as a family, which are more time together as a couple, a more suitable house to bring up their children. A life coach can assess their current lifestyle, financial situation and offer a way of tackling all issues.

There are life coaches out there. Lots. Perhaps not able to offer specific advise. This service could literally sort your life out. Ultimately everything is down to you. I'm just seeing loads of situations with friends, etc, myself, where we talk about change and don't make it, just settle for what we have and moan about it. Nearly every situ, has a very simple change possible. Bla, bla.

Half heartly writing this so will round off now.

7 Days (you think up the name!)

Several, actually lots and lots of ideas around at funny times of the day. Here's one of them and before I start, I don't like the workout-chum thing, well the name. Not one of my better ones for sure. Even I can criticize myself!

OK. I think, there has to be an even easier way to shop. I'm talking groceries here. I know you can order on line for food deliveries and there are also great veg box schemes such as Riverford Farm Box. Say I want to cook something different and healthy. I look up any number of cookery books, then write down the list of ingredients, find my way to a supermarket (a crime I know, but too easy) and hunt round for all of these ingredients. To be honest, me, being me, by the time I get home, I will have bought at least several items not on my list (due to getting sidelined by the bloody offers on at the end of each isle, or due to the clever ways the supermarket can attract you to stuff you didn't really want),I might find, even despite the list, i have forgotten one of the ingredients.

How about a small supermarket that is designed for the weeks menu.' 7 Day's. So you have Monday and Monday section has an island all of it's own. Breakfast, lunch and dinner, all together.

Am I explaining this OK? The whole idea based on a healthy balanced diet of proper ingredients that allow us to cook from scratch, just the right herbs, veg, meats, creams whatever are all right there, for the whole week. Bit of a dumb shop maybe, but making life more simple?

One step further, maybe these shops could operate on basis of your weekly budget for food per person. Even amounts on Monday of how much to get for how many people. I'm making this up as I go along here. Thinking out loud.

Advantages? A healthy balanced diet, keep to your budget, learn to cook proper food and experiment with new stuff.Bit dictator type life? Perhaps. Way of the future? Maybe!

Workoutchum.com

Ok maybe not a million, maybe not the best name, but this is what I'm thinking. Workoutchum.com is like a site to meet someone in your area that basically wants to get fit at the same time as you. So you assess if you are suited to levels of health and fitness and work out a routine that you will both spur each other on to reach the goals you want to acheive.

A bit like a dating agency, but not! Well your mates come up with excuses and so do you, so this starts off on an equal par and means to have a level of committment now.

Works? Like a one off fee for joining.

OneInsure

OneInsure does exactly as it says. It. Insures one. That one. Being you. But that one is you as a package. One fee insures your home, personal possessions, car, health, travel, dog etc etc. Basically, everything you own, as much as you want to declare.

Wouldn't this be just so good. Surely it can be done. We pay out a monthly fortune on different insurances in any one month and I think that's silly.

Don't ask me how you would set it up. I don't know, but perhaps something like this.. insurer visits my home, accesses it and it's belongings, everything has a listing and a price tag put on it and is logged with the insurance company in detail. Then he or she talks about health, car and any other type of insurance. You are then given a band of insurance and the monthly fee fits that band. Any time you want to increase by way of new description or purchase you may add with the chance ot upping your monthly fee.

C'mon somebody, must be the way forward..OneInsure!

happyfuneral

I'm not researching this stuff, just saying what comes to mind and this has been there for a while now.

Sadly, I've seen quite a few friends and close relatives go over the years and this is what I would like the dying experience to be like for the ones who are left behind to grieve.

You have an un used home. You don't rent it out. It's stunning, classy, great views, swimming pool. Half the time though, the curtains are shut. You pay someone a fortune to manage it. You feel guilty not using it.

This weekend, you have theatre tickets in London and it just so happens on the membership files for the weekend is a Mr and Mrs J. Blog's house in Kensington while they go to a wedding in Wales. Mr Rivers needs a place in Dartmouth to stay, just for the weekend, so he can see that your place is available...and...

the agency takes care of everything.

Usemyhome is a specialised membership club. You laughing yet?!

swipensave

I spend, you spend, most of us like to splash out on often pointless crap.. especially us ladies! C'mon girls, it's true isn't it?!

Swipensave isn't just for us girls though, it's for the world, but to start of with it's for the nation. It is a swipe machine that you card can take payment from...only...the payment...GOES TO YOU!

DogProofMyCar.com

Example:

I own a white Golf GTi. It has black fabric seating and black interior. My dog is white, well almost. She... malts like you wouldn't believe. Every time I hoover the car I think about giving her a drastic haircut.
