2020 Fashion on the Ration Challenge

I couldn't figure out the "Bookmarks" page.  It didn't appear to have an option for "Digest only".

No, I'm stuck with an email for each and every comment which is a bit irritating - but they did say it could take a couple of weeks to get everything running smoothly. There is a place you can report issues somewhere in the new forums but I've mislaid the email about it, buried under all the notification emails

Hi everyone, pleased to find the site open again and all my bookmarks intact, password changed OK. The only thing I cannot see yet is go to first unread post, will have a better look later and also go back and read the info post from a while back.
Have spent some coupons, so will be back to log at some stage.      Finding the new format great to read on my laptop, much clearer for me.

Hi, me too - pleased I can log in and so on.  I haven't figured out how to get to first unread post easily yet too so will keep looking.  Also need to figure out how to update my signature.

Fashion wise I had a great find in the CS near work at lunchtime and found a lovely long White Stuff blouse for £4.  Zero vouchers and great condition.  I keep looking at boots - have found three different styles on line - wish I could try them on at the same time.  Proud of myself that I didn't just order - going to have a good think about it over the weekend.

I'm trying to find my way around this shiny new world of the new forum setup.

I was in a mayor decluttering mood yesterday and binned 112 things from my flat - yes, I keep a tally when doing so... - and have decided on a few bigger things from my basement that need to go, some to the tip and others to the chazzer. Need to employ my Dad for the job, he is retired and loves nothing more than running an errand or two...

The thing I have not touched though was my wardrobe... I have so many "Just in case" things in there as I want to lose weight, but am quite rubbish at it at the moment... I really try to motivate myself to lose weight in order to finally sort my wardrobe, reclaim some of the smaller stuff and then start a nice capsule wardrobe....

Hi everyone,
I'm still on the forum but getting every comment emailed singly instead of one daily email.  Hope they sort that soon as some of the discussion groups i belong to have a LOT of comments!

Towards top right of page click on notifications, a dialogue box opens, top right of this is a symbol which looks like 3 spoons arranged horizontally, click on this and you can edit how you receive notifications, I have turned off e-mails to all (this is how I had it set before), not sure at this stage if one can select individual threads.  Need to check this out again. HTH.

It took me a while to figure out the email thing. I never used to get the emails anyway so was surprised that I 'gained' this power LOL

I'm here. I haven't got any email settings set up so hadn't noticed a difference except it looks like everything's been given a lick of paint. Very flash!

I’m here too, after a bit of faffing around. Haven’t really contributed so far, real life having got in the way. 

As for 2020 rations, I have invested 7 of my precious coupons so far this year, in a lovely Seasalt dress, made predominantly from bamboo and cotton, which will serve for most of the year, except for really hot days. I own very few clothes, so much thought goes into every single thing I buy, each has to be ethically made and produced, of non synthetic or man made fibre, be suitable for any and all occasions and now fit into my Fashion for the Ration criteria too. Loving it 😍
