    I do indeed have wondersome stripeys on today - going into battle (i mean having a meetinng) with evil supervisor who was bumped as my immediate boss - not that he's bitter no no

    BHB I want my own small holding - croft or whatever - happy in England or Scotland - don't really care after the brood depart - is getting one easy if you have um not alot of money?

    Wondered about actually seeing about advertising to look 'after one' for someone? We farmed /live off the farm on an island in the west coast of scotland for 10 years (BDL- before daddy left!) before so I know I am tough enough ............................any thoughts?

    Good luck with the meeting. Will get Mrs BHB to pm you later as she is the Oracle as far as finding land and smallholdings is concerned ;)
    :) Embrace your inner Hillbilly :)

    Bought some hot choc tonight, it comes in a chunk of cadburys choklit, you warm milk in microwave then chuck a chunk in and melt it into milk. Totally amazing, think I got a new addiction!

    Time for bed, hope we had a successful AF monday! Maybe we better declare tomorrow an AF tuesday, anyone up for that?!

    Nighty night x

    Me too Jo, sounds gorgeous, hope your day has started well 40sm :D

    Couldn't get on the puter last night, but managed to join in with AF Monday yay :j so that's 2 for me now Fay was quite hard as the bells were really tolling early evening, amazing though how if you just ignore them and then get on with what needs doing and even maybe tell yourself if you want one later you could always go out and then the urge completely went!! wish the same could be said about the biscuit urge - ate about 10 watching Blue Murder :eek: ...anyway I don't mind if I am not drinking as I think if it helps with that then I don't mind...

    Been lovely to come back after the school run today and sit here reading this thread and eating a lovely boiled egg on toast with a nice cuppa :coffee:..listening the the rain...(I love the sound of rain)....

    Have a great day all..

    Also just to say as I went awol for a while, well done PIR you seem in a great place with your new job and enthusiasm :T

    Hi all

    Well I go away for 1 night and 4 pages later I have caught up !!! it was busy last night

    I am pleased to report another AF for me making that 2 and also pleased with myself cos my friend didn't have any booze in so I offered to go to the shop and get some, while I was there I even picked up a bottle of wine (it would have been okay cos I was staying over) thought about it and decided no, I did not want it and

    I PUT IT BACK ON THE SHELF AND WALKED AWAY :T:T
    I just drank diet coke all night, Sooooo pleased with myself

    I am planning on AF tonight as well if anyone wants to join me?

    Well done to all that made it last night and to those who didn't today is another bright and shiney day.

    take care
