    I read two regularly and dip into others as & when I have time even if I don't post on them.

    That pesky work malarkey totally gets in the way of my DFW life! :rolleyes:

    I miss a certain hilarious lady's diary but she's very busy so, fair enough.
    I won't sulk.....much.

    I still think there should be a sub forum for people's diaries..... :confused:

    Would just be easier to find if they were separate..

    Ok, I'll go to bed..... ;)

    ARGH! Another reminder!! Brain like a sieve........OK so I read three diaries and miss TWO ladies terribly!


    Moozie....I think she's just taking some time out for personal reasons...I really hope she comes back sometime though (and soon) as she was my inspiration for joining this forum and it'd be so great to see her on here again. Not that I hope she's still in debt - I hope she is debt free or nearly there - but you know what I mean.

    Debt-free and Proud!
    There's only a couple of diaries I read regularly - but there's quite a few others that I pop in & out of. One thing I found was most of the ones I read started after I joined up, simply because I didn't want to wade through hundreds of pages first.

    I don't update my diary every day, but I do like to look back on it to see how far I've come, and although it's not one of the bigger ones I really appreciate comments and encouragement from others.

    Some of them (IA's in particular) I think once the DFW journey is over should be printed off, edited & turned into a book - would be really inspiring to others!

    Helllloooooooo Minnie! :D

    Your diary was hilarious! But you have your reasons and that's fair enough as I say.

    It's great you have cracked the DFW lifestyle.....I'm still practising! ;)

    I only read a few, and post on less. For me it's normally people where you've gone through similar situations in the past, or maybe it's things you're thinking about doing in the future.

    I do think it's important to give as well as to take. By reading the diaries etc you get lots of information, so sometimes if you can post things that may help it's only fair.

    The diaries are very different, not only the OP's, but also the people who post regularly. So some you obviously do or don't fit in with.
