    Some days I lurk & some days I just contribute meaningless waffle - so here goes :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Good morning all

    I've not been posting so regularly on here as (sorry if this offends) but as I'm not a runner/never intend to be a runner/didn't go to the meet, then I seem to feel a bit excluded....but as it's a positive thoughts kinda day then I'm here and I will post my drivel regardless of who reads it. :D

    As chat seems to be staying put here and lots of newbies may find it now the diaries have been moved, maybe it's a good time to show them all how it's done and give a DFW tip that's helped you the most....

    Mine has to be meal planning/grocery challenge, which has cut our grocery bill by half each month.....and I hardly ever throw anything away now.

    :D

    I know what you mean Pooky - I was due to go to Manchester but bottled out at the last minute - although other people have since said to me that they didn't go to one for ages - that has made me feel a bit better.

    Good morning peeps. Re the posting - one of the reasons I lurk is because I tend to think - 'Who will be interested in what I've got to say ?' I am lucky enough not to be in debt- altho have struggled in the past- but come on here because I love the 'craic' and all the lovely people who make me laugh every day without fail. Mwahhhhh XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxx

    Exactly Ellidee - that's what I often think who'd interested in what I have to say (so much so I've started this particular post 3 times)

    That's all folks - I go back to lurking but may un-lurk later on once I get home from work (bet you can't wait)

    So Numpty, I've got this certificate thing saying 'You passed the medical blah blah blah' I could in theory claim from when that came into force?

    Thanks for rallying round guys, I am gonna go for the co-op one, me thinks. Just wanna talk to my mum and discuss with her about stuff but she is being difficult to get hold of.

    Thanks Maz, it's just if I don't pull myself out of this, then I'll have to move back home with my parents in the caravan which is a 5 hour train journey from Liverpool, and if I do that then I'm terrified that I'll never live in Liverpool again and will loose my whole life.

    Bless you. Loads of positive thought heading your way.
    Keep talking to us - it sure is helping me to get motivated at long last.

    Don't get me wrong, I love my parents and all but I wouldn't be able to live in that tiny caravan for very long. Not to mention I wouldn't know anyone down there.
