Lights, action, camera! Leading lady centre stage NOW!

This is my 6000th post on MSE.

I joined in August 2007 - 32 months ago.

Doing the stats, that means I’ve posted an average of 187.5 posts per month. Assuming an average spread of 30 days in a month, that means I have posted, on average, 6.25 forum entries per day.

I ask myself the question, am I that sad that I am posting 6.25 comments per day on a website forum that is focussed on money saving but also has an acknowledged income generating side which is used as a vehicle to publicise and swell the commercial coffers of the website’s owner?

My answer is that yes. I am that sad. But, actually and in a contrary way, I’m not sad at all.

I have learned how to save and make money. I have learned (and shared) tips and tricks on old style living and how to make the most of what I have.

I even learned, and proved, that yes, I can tile my kitchen floor all by myself (and me a blonde who spent sometime living in Essex!). I don’t need to pay a professional to do it (thanks AnWsMum!).

Best of all, I have found some good friends who I know I can chat to whenever I feel the need. In fact, three of them came to mine tonight and ate with me. That was really wonderful and it wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t signed up to this site. And I hope they come and visit again.

So there we have it. Post 6000, if not profound, is clearly focussed on navel gazing (and no – there’s no belly button fluff there I am, after all, a Flylady!). And yes, during the writing of this, the half full bottle of white wine in the fridge is now slightly less than half full – but in a good way.

Sleep well my fellow MSEers , thank you for being there and may your God go with you xxx

Well Done GnB !!!!

little horrible small sized pinks have been up since about 4 and screaming ever since because they are still tired.. They are so going to bed at 6 tonight!!!

Now I am awake and being kicked there is no way I can go back to sleep.. I can't stop thinking about tidying the boudoir!!!I didn't get very far yesterday it is such a skip!

Aaaarghh! I woke up earlier and all I could think about was this stupid dissertation so thought I would get up and try and do an hour or so before OH gets up. The problem is I am just staring at the page at the mo with no inspiration. I know what I need to do but I can't seem to formulate the words correctly.

Going to see if a cup of tea will help. I would like to try and get around 1000 words done today and possibly tomorrow as I am back at work on Tuesday and am quite busy.
