Hi Orchid...welcome welcome welcome. Im not the newbie any more..yay!! There are loads of very experienced LL's on here that I have to say have been brilliant to read about and to read their posts. Like you said, inspirational!
I have just completed my second week and in my humble opinion I found the first week not too bad (couple of hungry days) but the second week I found a doddle.
Good luck hun. You wont regret doing this.
