    I fully understand why you are planning a 'members only' site - that's why Martin has warnings about this being an open forum.

    However there are a few of us (plus the lurkers) who are not ready/willing/able to join the Matrix, but have followed MG and the rest of you with admiration - and gained energy and encouragement from your achievements.

    Please try and keep this or a similar thread going.


    Oh I'm not plan going anywhere - well apart from the now infamous "World Tour" LOL.

    Just makes sense to maove some of our discussion to a more appropriate place.

    So in the interests of Moneysaving, I am off to convert the walk in closet off my bedroom into my super stock cupboard ready for my Approved Food order due on Monday.

    I want to store all my bulk stuff in there and then bring stuff into the kitchen as and when needed. So for the next 6 months or so "I will be mostly shopping from home"

    Meal plans will be posted when see what actually arrives :D

    I think that is the idea, but also you are very welcome to join the new site! Even if you aren't a Matrix member. I'm a member but not actually practically involved yet.
  • I've been decluttering and I have a spare copy of Julia Cameron's book, "The Vein Of Gold - A Journey to Your Creative Heart", which I'm happy to post to anyone who would like it.

    PM me if you're interested - first come first served!

  • Agree with what everyone says about not hijacking the lovely Martin's forum:money:

    Birdlady - have asked the universe for something very similar, except younger (sorry Mike!)

    Anyway, a busy day ahead - is it just me that feels like they are hibernating for the winter? Batch cooking and stocking up the freezer and wandering round with more layers on than the Michelin Man?

    Wish I could hibernate.
    I really do not like short days, dark mornings, cold, snow. (you get the idea:))
    Best thing about being retired? Not having to get up in the morning and check to see whether it has snowed - and I live in a city!

    OK definitely time to get the 'wake-up light' out of the cupboard and set up again.

    Now then Mr Waters, I think we need to have some strong words about this growing victim mentality :naughty:

    Don't you know you are a survivor and surviving in this sea of crazy women is no mean feat :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
