The FastDay Forum

Morning tweeps!
Have DM'd you Karen re Twitter.
I've prepared a guide for people to start using twitter (for some reason, I'm asked quite a lot) so if anyone wants a copy, DM me.
However, @WendyDarling is probably on the case as I speak!

Would love to be initiated into the secret world of Twitter Penny, have an account but no idea what I'm doing! My twitter 'name' (is that even the right word?) is @CalbroxCarol. Any help most appreciated and would love to be added to your tweets along with @rawkaren, @Wendy Darling and any others on here.
Hope you enjoy the posh lunch! x

Looks like we could be getting a masterclass callyanna. My name is @debandju and like you, no idea what I'm doing!!!

Right, bedtime. Hoping for a quieter night, no heat or thunder!!

After a search deep in my archives, my twitter name is @HarkerLords

How do you all find enough time in the day for all these things like Twitter, Facebook etc? I have to seriously limit my time just on this one forum or I would never get off the sofa and my life would cease to exist as I now know it, laundry would be a forgotten art, hoovering would be a dim and distant memory and ironing would be consigned to the........hang on.........mmmmm........perhaps twitter and FB might be a more interesting way to waste my time than domestic trivialities.....oops, just spotted a cobweb, see you all later

Had to look my name up too CM! didn't want to show my ignorance by querying what a DM was either , just thought Penny had made a typo and meant PM, shows how little I know!

I don't even know how to use facebook let alone twitter. Do you girls use facebook as well or is twitter better?

@rawkaren, has it ever crossed you mind that this is just a fad diet like many other diets in the past and we have just got on the band wagon and got carried away with the forum? I have certainly considered that but discounted it. There is just too much positive science, fact and sustainability about it. I guess that other people who have tried it and given up might call it a fad diet but it is the best thing that has happened to me.

@Manderley, I understand your frustration. Like you I live in a small town (10,000 people). We have a brand new health centre with a small A & E with brand new equipment but no-one who can use it! So if someone breaks a leg and you go to our A & E there is a beautiful new x-ray machine but you are sent to Inverness which is about half an hour away and that is if you have someone to drive you in a car. Also like @julianna, if you have to phone the docs for an appointment you have to get past a receptionist first. If you want an appointment they ask you 20 questions. I hate this as they have no medical training and two of them are my personal friends I don't want to discuss my problems with them at that time and of course I am usually at work when I phone the docs and anyone can listen in if I'm not careful. Fortunately this time it worked in my favour. Rant over.

Anyone who wants my Twitter guide, DM me. I'll need your email, but it's 2 way trust, cos you'll get mine, too!
off out soon.

Pens can pls email me it..thank you x
And can you let me and Cally know what DM means? X

@wildmissus hope you ok? Re heart?
Too much to trawl thru after being away for prob less than 24 hrs i think..everything moves fast on here!
Totes agree with yr paragraph re 5:2 / fad etc..x

a DM is a direct message on Twitter. So a private message basically

Wow girls ( and guys?) I'm finally caught up. Phew!
Xxx julianna

julianna, I feel the same! Turn your back for a few hours and then it takes forever to catch up on what everyone is up too!

I think that Twitter may be a step too far for me. I spend so much time with Facebook and this forum that I have started to set a 30 minute timer to remind me to get up and move for a few minutes (Yes. I have just been reading about NEAT and wondering about introducing FIT into my life. The jury is still out on that!)

No @wildmissus. I don't. Im in it for the health benefits. I think we are only just beginning to learn.
