    Ladies just caught up. DT I'll PM you prices but don't have a website as yet, will sort it over the next week or so when i get paid. Oh and there's no such thing as an awkward shape, it's all in how you dress it!

    MG just say the word. OMG I've wanted to do this for 2 and a half years and now suddenly, it could actually happen thanks to you guys! I'm a retail manager anyway but this is my dream job. I do it for friends and family but OMG!!!

    MG hope I'm on your list. I live across from some halls and lots of my staff go to different unis. Claire I love that you've gone from 'I can't' to 'Yes I can' in such a short space of time!!!

    Watching X Factor tonight and going to ask the universe for a freezer, need a bigger one for my OS efforts in the winter! XXX

    hey MG - if you get a spare minute in your packed day - I was wondering - are you able to take a pic of your tree (with the leaves) and maybe post it on your blog or on here? :) xxxxx

  • Souk - I might need to use your services - let me know when your website is up & running to get prices & stuff.

    PS - there is an awkward shape - ME.

    5 ft 6, round, short legs (boots are not made for my leg size) but a longish body - took after my Dad's side of the family......

    Now there's a scary picture for y'all :D

  • Good morning

    sorry i disappeared last night - i kind of hit the wall and ended up crawling into bed right after Merlin and the littles were settled.

    I think the "juice thing" happened - headache, achey, feeling ratty, wanting to snap - best thing really was to take myself off to bed and sleep it off.

    but this morning I am feeling fabulous - and i am four pounds lighter:j

    feeling sooooo positive this morning - and overnight some kind person on Freecyle has a copy ACT and an "ACT for Dummies" book that they are gifting to me so i will pop out later and collect that.

    ACT is a database tool that will enable me to keep in touch with everyone when we kick of the Memorygirl Matrix. it was the one gap in my knowledge that i wanted to fill - and overnight i have the tools to do it (still got to actually learn how of course)

    So anyone else that wants to play - just you hit your pm button now.

    I've thought about this overnight - and its best we run this by email - so if you are a lurker, come and play too because we wont be posting any names on here on a public forum - although at some point a private website is looming (if enough people are interested).

    its just after 8am on a sunday morning - i have 2 loads of washing out on the line, last load in the machine, my sink is shiny, raisin bread is on, beds are made, ironing is sorted ready to go, birthday party bag for later is sorted, petrol is in the car, bathroom is clean, i am dressed to the shoes ..............................

    ................... i don't recognise myself from a month or so ago. i blame Flylady of course - but i blame you guys even more for getting me and moving.

    i love it here

  • To celebrate how fabulously postive i feel i have changed my signature.

    instead of focussing on how to do "poor" really well - i have decided to focus on the positive challenges set by mr big and the exciting future that the Memorygirl Matrix will have for us all.

    of course the big debt to the big horse bank has to stay on there - i need to focus at throwing every spare penny i can muster at this to enable me to get back to work without a huge debt sitting there.

    my big dream when i get back to work is that you all cheer me on saving up the pennies to walk into the bank and pay off the mortgage in cash - just to fill you in, the husband of a poster here has explained how we can do this live on the net by video conferencing - so you can all be part of this when it happens!!!

    then we can all partaaaaayyyyyyy!!!!

    of course i hope all that can be here in person will do so:j

    off ot go get the ACT programme and book ( needs collecting before kind person goes off to visit their family)

    I love it here

    :j:j:j oooh!!! another one inspired to say "i'm not playing with this recession - i'm going to do what makes my heart sing"

    just imagine - if we could support one person a week to take the leap - we would have 52 new business started in a year. how cool would that be.

    have you tried freecycle for a bigger freezer? Worth their weight in gold if you are on an OS kick.
