    I had a quick scan and it looks good, basically saying to live life at your own pace and not the pace advertising a media dictates to you. I was forced to change my lifestyle after developing M.E. at 16, and although I have had some truly awful times with the illness it has given me a much healthier philosophy on life and made me the person I am today. You can always have more, money but you can never have more time. That's why when the financial situation allows me to, I always opt for extra time off rather than extra pay :A
    Hmmm will add up debt and stick on on later!

    Thanks for putting my post in the right thread. I've just made a huge pot of tea (PG tips loose tea-my favourite as you dont get "tea dust" in the bottom of the packet) and with a plate of toast, will read through all of the suggested blogs great.

    Thanks to everyone who posted their favourite blog sites. I've bookmarked some and will find it difficult not to keep dipping in to them when I should be doing other things.

    PS - was startled to see how much Rhonda Jean (on the down - to -earth one) looked like me, or do I look like her?

    We have a thread here which might be a good place to start;

    my favourite OS blog is DowntoEarth; I'm sure you'll get loads more suggestions ;)

  • I like Attic 24 and The Quince Tree :) I dip into others from time to time, but read both of those avidly.

    As this has fallen from the front page of OS, I'll add it to the thread Rosiben mentions.

  • Rosieben thank you.


    I've just sat down with a cup of PG and read DowntoEarth for an hour. I loved it and can see why you recommended it. xx
