When things are packed in storage, it is amazing how much stuff you can live without.

Good morning @TAB @Appleblossom @Eve7 @Glisten @MDT
Just done my health audios and here I am on the computer. I am about to make another loaf of bread to use up my permaculture eggs. I support regenerative farming these days. Its below neutral carbon footprint levels - it goes into the minus figures so its great for the environment same with meat I buy direct from the farm. Well what is in store for today? Organising solar power still so I'm not hit with big electricity bills. Spoke to someone on a budgetting group who has paid virtually nothing for her electricity bill over the years. Was a bit late to hop on board. Checked in with Suze Orman's e-mails to people and am getting my finances in greater check. I suspect the cost of living is going to get worse so am installing my solar power soon.

Hey @Former-Member I installed my solar about 8/9 years ago and it has been worth it. Re food, I had to buy mostly on a budget, and so have only recently been lifting the quality. Also trying to find ways to engage my son on healthy eating when he is, in the mood. My family home has never sported a lot of junk food, bare minimum so kids did not feel like aliens and knew what things were, but not develop a taste or habit with it. All 3 eat reasonably. I keep suggesting to my son that we start going to farmer's markets etc .... he has said 'yes' ... but still waiting. He has gone through a lot recently so waiting is appropriate. Step by slow step. I come from 2 generations of serious food insecurity, so none of it is taken for granted.
I love permaculture approach, and even tho my space is tiny. Do my bit.

Hey @Former-Member and @TAB just jumping in to apologise for the survey pop-up causing some issues for you. There was a bit of a glitch that has now been fixed but appears to still be causing an issue for a small handful of members. The survey is only live for a couple of weeks, but hopefully this resolves before then!

Hello @Appleblossom @TAB @greenpea @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope and all I have met on the forum. Please feel free to tag me to those I can’t remember their @
you were all there at a time when I needed that support. Thank you.
As many of you may be aware I have been off the forum for quiet some time and removed a lot of my content due to concerns it may harm certain people in my life.
Things have sort of stabilised for me and I have learned to live as best I can with those things that can never be changed. I appreciate all the support from fellow members and have dropped in to say a sad goodby to the forum. Wish I could remember all your tags to do so properly.
It is with sadness also that I note Sane Australia’s decision to no longer remain politically neutral in trying times as this will undoubtedly drive people away who could benefit from the forum.
I will remain for a short time to read your replies and say goodby to friends before I close my profile permanently.
Thank you.
