  • Hi I have found you from Hypno's thread and am trying to catch up (up to page 100 x) I have pm'd you as I would love a copy of your book. Have signed up to the blog and will try and catch up with you all though it may take some time:rotfl:
  • Cherisong I loved mrs pepperpot to.

    Loving all these memories. I think we forget how to just enjoy life like when we where kids. This has been a light bulb moment for me, to do what I enjoy and not feel guilty about what I 'should ' be doing. Is'nt that what men do anyway? I'm not putting men down I'm saying they have got it right! :rotfl:
    Sew it, knit it, glue it, reuse it , don't buy it

    Well I'm done for the day now, Dh has nearly finished the kitchen ;) a few bits to do tomorrow and its done,

    I have started de cluttering the living/dining room ready for redecorating, but had enough now.

    had a very upsetting phone call, a good friend of mine who I did craft fairs with has died this afternoon, so i'm a bit shell shocked at the moment and the de cluttering can wait :(

    Hiya MemoryGirl I thought it was about time that i popped in to say hi, I have, for the last few days neglected my own diary to try to catch up with yours!!! still only up to page 30 but after a long chat with Hypno last night have bought a diary and am inspired to completely gate crash your Mr Big challenges if that is ok!! all be it playing catch up from a few days late!! I've also had a good read of the blog, well done you for getting it up and running!!
    Thank you for inspiring me, giving me the kick up the bumseat that I have needed for ages. I know what I want but no clue how to actually get it!! In reading the blog that started to become clear.
    You are a courageous, inspirational strong and amazing woman. I look forward to catching up to this page, following you as you go about your challenge, hopefully supporting you and sharing some experiences in return!!
    Sending positive thoughts your way!! :D

    Delurks to say....

    Just had a quick check back, check page 71 :D Memory Girl explains what the book is about, if you want a copy all you need to do is PM her.

    MG I have spent the last week reading your thread and the blog and it has really set me thinking......

    I am being made redundant in 6 months after 25 years with the same company and already knew it was going to be life changing but I am now thinking that the possibilities for change could be much more amazing than I had thought originally. Still formulating my ideas at the moment and know what I don't want to do with my life. Just now need to be certain of what I do want and have been thinking about things in the blog to help me find my way to what I do want.

    You and your challenge are inspiring :T

    Heads back to lurkedom.....
