Shouldn't we be holding some sort of ceremony to officially 'ordane' you into maniacdom?
...Linda xxIt's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.0 -

Everyone is sending me PMs asking about this!!!! I will do a thread on it I think, but I eat very well and have been using up things in the freezer and cupboards, as well as doing proper cooking and now I work* at home I can make soup for lunch instead of sandwiches with crisps, some biscuits, some fruit, etc., which really added up, even doing it cheaply.
*When I say work, I mean weep into my keyboard because I haven't had any commissions for about two weeks and am getting scared, but technically it's work!piglet6 wrote:(I have to admit, I was wondering whether one's "status" related to "age" or "contributions"...?!?!).
