DMP Mutual Support Thread (Part 6)

bailey59

Hi Northstar, you go away for 5 mins and I've got some spare time tonight to chat. Housework done ready for hubby coming home, not thinking about DMP for one night so thought I'd pop on here and sit down and relax. Noticed your tactfull message about getting back on track. Not had any calls tonight apart fromone company trying to flog me an IVA. Soon put them in their place!

Ian by the way didnt think you were having a go or anything. know youre only jealous cos we mentioned Brad Pitt lol!!

Talking of other boards here, I cannot for the life of me find something I was looking at the other day, I forgot to subscribe. It was all about how to save money with shopping, so everyone was giving ideas on how to empty basics into branded bottles etc (for those OHs who werent keen on switching brands), how to save on toilet paper, all sorts of stuff, it was really good but can I find it???? Can I heck! Anyone here subscribe to anything that sounds like that please? I thought I found it today but the last posts were all about making a cake made out maltesers so I left it. (the temptation was just too great!
Ta again

I believe it was a link from one of the MSE newsletters. I'll see if I can find it.

Oh yeah. Sorry. I'll keep quiet now. I've never been very good at perking people up.

Plainly!!! :rotfl:

Aah, Ian, you are very good at perking people up. You have answered me a few times and have always made me feel better.

I will let you all in on a little secret, I have thanked you all many times but I thought to thank people you had to say thanks in a reply. I didnt know there was a thanksbutton to press!!! I wondered how someone knew how many thanks you had received lol

bailey59

Ok so how do I subscribe to another board??? I have to keep coming out of this one and going to forum and scrolling down till I find the one I think I was on. I spend a lot of time on the special occasions board cos it takes my mind off the DMP

Yes Ian has been great at helping everyone.

I press the thanks button when I think someone would like to know that we are all reading their posts, daft I know.

I have to admit I've never subscribed to a thread. I just bookmark the first page of this thread then go to the last page everytime.

Anyhoo, a couple of threads:

Downshifting:

And old style cleaning:

Then you've got all the old style thrift threads. I don't think they're the ones you were looking for Northstar, as I can't find it either. Gargh!

Oh I don't have an issue with helping people out, it's the perky personal stuff I can't do (I think it's cos I'm a bloke)...

Anyhoo, just want to say I love you all, and you've made my late night (after difficult evening classes, and a quick jog after) more interesting...

Oh I can't compete with Brad Pitt, I'm more of the Phil Mitchell variety, before his alcoholic days of course.
