It's a shame this thread has stopped now - Memory Girl we were all waiting with baited breath for the next installment but it seems it's not to be... hope you are achieving what you want and good luck!

Yes, I agree. You are quite inspirational, Memorygirl. I hope all is well with you and that you have a great future. Do give the book idea more thought, perhaps when things are less frantic!! You have so much to offer.

Good Luck

how come it stopped...this great thread has stopped???

The thread has stopped because it was begun in Moneysaving OldStyle, where there were many people interested, but then it was moved and now no one reads it

I'd still read it, but nothing is posted any more - you need updates to read??? there are still lots of people that would read it if there were updates I'm sure...

I read through this whole fascinating thread... but then it stopped like a book with the last chapter missing

Why don't we turn it into memories of memory girl and post the things that she taught us and what we learned from her, or how she inspired us to change.

I learned that it is important to cultivate some time to do something useful as well as something you enjoy like how she used to knit in front of the tv. In my case it will be ironing in front of the tv or reading (a library book;)) in bed. She seemed to have such a calm happy nature and achieved so much, I really need to adopt an attitude like hers.

Inspired by memory girl I am going to try to find everything I need on freecycle or really cheaply and give it some tlc....try not to pay full price again.

What has this thread taught you?

I still don't get why this topic was moved to this board - surely 'make - do - and - mend' is about as OS as you can get?

I think this thread taught me to look at how wasteful I was being. I really enjoyed reading this thread when I found it, and now it has resurfaced I will probably dip back into it later today, when I have a little more time.

Hi Guys

I now have just been sorted out with internet at home with a wee dongly thing, so my question is? ........................................ can I come back and play?????

Memorygirl

PS quick update - baby is now 15 months and walking, never did sell the house I am doing doing up - cos pants market and still doing it up.

Still living the OS dream - but want to shake things up a bit between now and Xmas, including stepping back into the world of work after having my leave after bubs was born.

Anyone for more baby steps??
