Reading messages on the forum clearly says to me that some of you need to boost your self-confidence. Be positive!!! How encouraging are you towards new members if you are negative and depressive all the time?
I would follow up with the negative comment. If people's self-confidence improved from a single post, I don't think we need therapy anymore. Also, what makes you think that we need more self-confidence? (okay, liking M. Goto is a dodgy taste...)

If I could click my fingers and suddenly be more self-confident, don't you think that I and others who feel similar to me, would have done that already anon?
It's very easy to say "be positive! be confident!" but have you ever been on this end of the stick? Perhaps you have, perhaps you haven't, it doesn't really matter I suppose, only in so much as you acknowledge not everyone is self-confident, and not everybody is 'just blue'.
And please, be careful with the way you use the word "depressive". Some of us actually have mental/mood disorders (speaking purely for myself there).
Thanks,

I don't think anonymous meant their message to be a dig at people who suffer from mood disorders or mental health problems, although to be honest, sometimes I don't feel like being positive and I know I'm not the only one. And boosting your self-confidence is easier said than done; I've been attempting it for the past 20 years!
On a happier note, baking is a great way to happiness. I just made the nicest tuna and cheese pasta bake, and so I'm too full of food to be my melancholy and berating self.
omg! how gay is that: baking is the new confidence booster, forget Prozac!
I love baking, but hate the idea of doing it in Halls: too scutty. My sister makes a wicked Focaccia bread, that I was reminded of when my mom took me out to Salvos (Headingly) for lunch today. Isn't family great?!
Alice you're a star: baking is so warming, and food's always a great way to get happy! Yum. Now I'm hungry.
Alice doesn;t like cooking at all, she just wants to be on telly running her hands over firm supple melons and juicy peaches whilst licking her fingers and making fake orgam noises. Not that I am at all skeptical of Nigella Lawson's cooking ability.

You're just jealous because your cooking ability's marred by the fact you're so engrossed in dancing about the kitchen that you forget there's stuff in the oven and it invariably burns!
If anyone lives in Headingley, £2.50 pizzas from Gangster's are a great way to happiness. Unless you're on a diet or lactose-intolerant.
Delia Smith? Shes only a legend cos she got twatted, went on the pitch at Norwich at half time n made a complete tit of herself in front of a few thousand people... well done mrs chair. Gotta say its a crap choice in footy team as well...
If we r on about celebrity chefs, Gordon Ramsay all the way! U gotta admire the guy jus 4 his ability to fit the word **** into every sentence at least twice, yet still make sense

I had to warm up some chocolate-filled croissants at a friend's place in Oxley the other night and I was so busy eating the first course I completely forgot about the oven and nearly had charcoal for dessert.
Bad at baking I am! What club did you join, Adam?
