Do "star charts" work?

Depends on the incentive you choose!?

I think I know the answer phoenix but don't want to post it on here .

Oh well, home made steak pie it is then!,

Extra playtime . .

Oh, if only...............

I had to read the last part again (the age)! I'd assumed it was about a grandchild . Extra playtime!! That made me laugh.

I'd happily settle for the homemade steak pie

Phoenix I thought you were about to become our resident astrologer. I’m Libra by the way, we’ll balanced but a bit self indulgent.

good luck with that phoenix old dogs, new tricks comes to mind

Oh phoenix!
what a laugh that has given me!!


He's not a Taurean is he - if so, gold stars won't work, Taureans are very stubborn.

No Jalima, he's a Scorpio, and he can keep his sting to himself!

phoenix knowing your sense of humour, I guessed you meant Mr. P

His favourite meal and a good bottle of wine.

I'm not understanding this "play time" idea

I love this kind of thread! So nice to have a laugh first thing in the morning.

Let's hope g1943 doesn't see this thread.

I'd be interested in the results, phoenix.

Btw, I'm Capricorn and he is Leo!!

Well if the norty step didn't work Phoenix you have to try something else. That made me smile and a change from mother in law problems.
Play time sounds interesting as long as its nothing too energetic

Phoenix thanks for giving me a good start to Wed. Like NanKate, I thought this was about astrology , sorry, a bit slow in the uptake here.
Carry on now.

But reading about water sloshing around gave me an idea to start one. We even have some sticky stars somewhere!

Surely what happens on the Norty step stays on the Norty step? By the way, Scorpio is the sign of passion!

Mr GG13 is a Sagittarius, I await results of the "star reward chart", since retirement he certainly needs some motivation!!

One of my sons is a Scorpio and a more stubborn and contrary individual you could not find. Of course I'm a perfect Aquarian

For MrP:
1. Take his toys away.
2. Sew him into his clothing like the Mormons do (or did) 3. Introduce bed baths by the brawniest nurse you can find. Although on reflection, he might enjoy that too much.

4. Star chart, yes but in reverse order. Start with 20 and he has to be good to take away a star.
Each star represents a laxative, easily hidden these days in puddings and sweet tea or coffee.

Well, Aquarians are inventive!

I thought this thread was about horoscopes!

How about a ? or ? chart!

phoenix - thanks for making us all laugh
By the way I share my life with a Scorpio and other than occasionally feeling slightly irritated as I trip over yet another 'hobby', I leave him to it. Star charts have a short shelf life !

Iam, I was going to say that.

A classic phoenix thread.
