    Afternoon all!

    Having a good DFW day so far today.......although not happy with myself for falling off the Alcohol Free wagon last night. Still, start again today!

    Its Master Piglets 3rd birthday today and he's having a lovely time. Had free lunch at Nannas and we are off to Granny's for tea. I'm a good DFW today :D

    Anyway, here's my paltry list for today:

    * Free lunch at Mum and Dads
    * Free dinner at in-laws (:eek: My Mother in law cooks a roast and then keeps it warm on plates in the oven till we arrive....INCLUDING the yorkshires!!!!)

    * NSD - not going anywhere near any shops

    * Mum gave me a bottle of Whisky from the hamper she won - its for me to give to our neighbour as he mows our front lawn and clears our gutters etc

    * Been to my Nans today and she have me a tin of quality street she won in HER raffle (everyone wins but me...but I share the spoils!!:D )

    And thats it!

    Miss P
    xx
