I’m really out of practice with spell work. I’m a deep and daily meditator so always feel reasonably connected to The Force(!) but not crafted a spell in a while.

I live in a flat/apartment and have the most stressfully loud upstairs neighbour at the moment. She gets home after 11pm every night and does all of her cooking and socialising and phone calling then. The flats are terribly built and she has one of those shouty voices and I can hear everything. She bangs around and doesn’t stop for a couple of hours each night and it’s exactly when I go to sleep. It’s driving me insane and I am very noise sensitive and drained and in need of good sleeps now I’m
50!!!

Any ideas for some kind of spell I could do to prevent her from disturbing me that doesn’t involve me trying to effect her will???

I'm spending the weekend house sitting in Tiverton and looking for recommendations for lovely walks in the area. I don't drive but happy to hop on buses. Love rivers and streams and woodlands and just want to soak up as much lush spring greenery as I can.

Just completed my 3rd week of keto. Started feeling great last weekend. Brain so sharp and energised and felt like I was glowing. Was amazed by how few cravings I had. But I’ve been struggling this week with such extreme moodiness. Angry some days then so sad and tearful the other day. Is this a keto thing? Also been having some mild cravings this week. Just walked past a pizza place and felt a sense of mourning!! 😂

I bought a secondhand pair of these headphones on eBay and they seem in great condition but the noise cancellation doesn’t work at all. Pressing the button tells me it’s on or low or off but makes no difference to the headphones. I also tried downloading the app last night and controlling from that to no effect. Are they likely dud? Or is there some other trick I may be missing to activate the noise cancellation? Also, what should it “sound” like when activated?

Ending my first week of keto and feel great today. Think I’ve turned a corner today and already lost 2 kg (if that’s anything to get excited about!). I’ve been surprised by how easy it’s been actually and how I’ve not craved things tooooo much, especially considering I was a massive sugar addict.

I’m thinking of doing it for a month to see if it has any effect on some other health stuff but I’m curious about people who do this long term. Is the goal to constantly be in ketosis? Do some people never have time out from eating under the carb limit? If, in a couple of weeks, I get invited to a friends for dinner and just want to have a nice time and eat their food that isn’t keto, what’s best to do after that? Just start again from scratch? Is it as hard to get back into ketosis as it is the first time? Hope that’s not too many questions in one post!!!

I’m currently reading Profit First and excited to get more organised with my business finances. I started doing the assessment but it’s going to take me too long to work out how much I paid myself last year as it’s been so random and I can’t see a quick way to gather that info on my online bank without having to do loads of sums that I cba to do. I already know I’m not working cleverly or making profit from my business!! Do I need to have these details in order to implement the strategy though? Or can I just get on with it regardless? Would love to hear from people who’ve implemented it and seen change
