I felt like my posts must be invisible because no one commented or "talked" to me. Not so here! Friendly, encouraging, teaching people comment on your entries and challenge you to kick it up a notch.

As a cost cutting measure my son and I are sharing wireless, which means most of the time I don't get connection. I miss checking in and seeing how projects are going and sharing my adventures. But I am spending more time on my projects and time with my dh.

But lurker - lurk no more, join in the conversations and have fun with us!

It's a good/bad thing. I enjoy reading the posts and learning so many new things, but an hour or two goes by along with a coke and some chips and all those challenges are not getting done. This weekend I got so much done because we couldn't get on the internet, repotting violets and orchid, baking bread, putting up items in the freezer, knitting and quilting. Quit FV? No Way. But try to cut back on my online time. Maybe after I finish some challenge work, I reward myself with FV time. This is the best forum I've ever participated on....such friendly people! OK, FV time is over ]]> vickilynn http://www.frugalvillage.com/forums/blogs/vickilynn/4358-fv-addiction-challenges.html http://www.frugalvillage.com/forums/blogs/vickilynn/4343-challenges.html Wed, 20 Jan 2010 18:17:11 GMT Christmas: 1/12 hand made gifts Camera Fund: $57.94 / $25 Book club: 0/12 classics 2010 Fling: 139/2010 Get it/keep it: weekly cleaning chores 4/7 Birthday gifts/cards Feburary - done Jan Christmas project - socks done Jan homesteading - sourdough pancakes done Jan sewing: knitting...
