2020 Fashion on the Ration Challenge

I’m sure this is obvious to lots of people, but where do you find the newsletter? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one

Here's a link to the latest one, @PollyWollyDoodle.  There's a "subscribe now" box on the right.

I get it emailed to me every week.  It usually goes out on a Wednesday.

There's also a link at the top of the page "Weekly Email".  Just click on it and you can go into it.  I've given up on having it emailed, although it still goes into a very old email address which I haven't used for years and every so often I go on there and delete all the emails!  Most of it is junk though.

Hi everyone. I’m joining you today along with a couple of others. Looking forward to see if I can stick to the challenge.
I have a question - but it is nothing to do with fashion or ration. What does it mean when you see ‘deleted user’. Does it mean that they have been banned from MSE or that they have removed themselves?

Think it means they have removed themselves.  I know on the Love Food Hate Waste thread Jackie O started the thread and she decided to leave MSE entirely when the website changed over this this format.  I do wish she had persevered because she was full of wisdom on MSE ways.

Yes.  That’s what it means.  MrsLurcherWalker has gone, too.  She was another lady who was full of Old-Style wisdom. I miss them both.  Sadly, there are probably others who have given up but not deleted their profiles since the platform change - traffic on the Forum is noticeably lower these days.

Yes, I miss MrsLurcherwalker and JackieO too. Such a shame they left. They were full of OS ideas, and I loved hearing about their real lives. If they still read...🖐 (waves!)

A belated welcome to our new friends!  This is such an interesting challenge to do, as it really makes you think before you buy....

Its a shame that forum traffic is down.  However, the new economic reality and with so many people losing their jobs may mean more newcomers to the site.  Its at times like this that I'm glad that I'm retired.

Please may I join?  I bought -new!- a RI purse/wallet in March. Please advise how I work out the coupon thingy as I'm starting halfway through and I might need some footwear before the year is out.  My sewing machine is mostly used for hemming trousers and occasionally curtains, and has mysteriously relocated to my daughter's house. I knit, but not at the moment.

Lovely to see new faces, welcome all.
Nothing changed here, still no purchases, not remotely tempted to buy anything on-line, I am so fussy about the texture of fabrics and how they feel against my skin. Still have to shield for a while, and then I will be cautious so no idea when I will be able to go into a CS, I do miss it.  One purchase I want to make is for a well fitting smart pair of black trousers, that usually involves lots of trying on as I have a skinny butt and thighs, so most pairs hang off the back end and are a little tight on the front ,cos of bloating and a squidgy fat tum
