Hi, from Essex....Happy New Year to all

Post: # 181892Post franwithaplan »

Hi, have been thinking more and more about how to be more self sufficient...Got the book of rubbish ideas for christmas, and am still working my way through Leo Hickman's life stripped bare: my year of living ethically, so when I found this website I was like this is where I need to be...
I am hungry for new ideas, and support, and although I don't think I have any new ideas to offer as yet I am sure as I get more into it I'll find something to share... :wave:

Hi there and welcome! :wave:
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Hello :wave:

I know exactly what you mean - but that's what Ish is about. Do what you can when you can - it's not possible for most people to be self-sufficient, but you can make yourself feel like you're doing your best, and that's all that counts.

Happy New Year :drunken: :drunken: :drunken:
