  • Thanks for the help, sorry I didn't mean subscribing to this diary that was done ages ago. I meant the blog, I know how to find the blog and I have read it but I meant I don't know how to subscribe to the blog? Sorry to confuse.

    Keeping motivated - I have no idea either
    I've added it to my Facebook page (clicking the facebook icon) & to my favourites (right click & add to favourites)
    But as for subscribing - don't have a clue :o

    Keeping Motivated and Clooties Mum, if you go to the bottom of the page on the blog you will see Follow and there are some pictures of people who are already following. If you click on that a box opens and asks you to sign in. It gives you the different options of Google, Yahoo etc. You sign in using your normal sign in for your emails. If you have none of the optional accounts I am not sure what you would do but you can always sign up for google and yahoo accounts free of charge. You can also set up your own blog via the google Blogger site and then link to MGs blog from there. It will then show on your reading list everytime a new post is made. Hope that makes sense

    bally h*ll - that took me ages to figure out how to go back in and correct a spelling.:mad:

    The kids are in bed - so i'm going to scroll back and look at what you lot have been up to whilst i was, erm!!!!!! busy doing something I'd never done before. :T

    I'm beginning to think that's the point actually - that given a task and a deadline it's amazing what you can achieve.

    I've got a feeling I'm going to be doing lots of scary stuff over the next few weeks - I'm trusting you lot to make sure i don't bottle it. I will kick myself forever if I don't grab this opportunity with both hands and give it 100%.

    ..............and no i haven't had a message from him yet.

    Hi, I have been read through your thread, popping on and off but I am still only half way through. So I thought that I would drop you a line and then go back and read the rest. I have been loving it and I have even been and brought "the secret" and got "the power" half price. I remember reading one of your last threads when you were just starting off on your little journey. You may have been expecting at the time??? and I how know he is around two. Well I will keep popping in if you dont mind and let you know how I am getting on.

    keep popping in roomontheend - everyone is always welcome to chuck their tuppence in.

    I think thats why i like popping in here - its not just mw wittering on - its everyones contribution that keeps it zinging along.
