    Another alcohol free night last night :) I just hope I survive this wedding today without a drink. My nerves are going already and I'm not even there yet :(

  • Thanks guys - much appreciate stuff - had a long call to OH who is feeling a bit sheepish today - so maybe my reaction wasn't great but he took on board how carp it looked - especially as the night out was planned for months and I was with him last weekend and he didnt mention it.

    Cut all the lawns and my head is now beginning to ache - thinking maybe I get hangovers delayed!

    hugs to you all - Jo you are right lots of positivity here - no sunshine here at the mo but NO WIND and NO RAIN - therefore a decent day!

    Stay strong, keep sipping something other than alcohol, something strong tasting. Good luck and enjoy the day :)

    Thinking of you today, just take it a bit at a time and [STRIKE]if [/STRIKE] when you do come home having notched up another AFD just think how proud you'll be of yourself. Enjoy the day and take care,

    BB- yep, I'm a Ferrari fan, but actually a bigger Ross Brawn fan so I have a dual allegance this year. Sorry!
    .

    I just knew it ;)

    But in the spirit of the sport we both love this is for you :D

    I too do like Ross Brawn very much and I am loving the success he and his team is having. He was great at Ferrari no doubt about it.

    So I am happy to support Brawn Racing, I have always favoured Mclaren but recent events have left the team sadly tainted.

    Lets hope it all gets sorted out? Red Bull have done well though :D I have immense respect for: Adrian Newey my Ds has a Williams Brake Disc Clock taken from the 1996 championship cars, limited edition and a certificate signed by Adrian Newey.

    Hopefully one day he will have a mega office with all the f1 pieces I have brought him in a nice showcase?

    Maybe with a pic of me pride of place on his desk :rotfl:

    Take Care sweetheart
