    Evening all!

    I think I've discovered why we end up doing "personals". I've not been on here since yesterday, and having read through all the posts theres loads of people I want to say something to!!!:D So......

    WBF - Don't let the job thing get you down. You never know, they may still get in contact?

    Dotstar - Congratulations!! I, like our lovely Budgie, was ultra healthy through my pregnancy. No alcohol, ate nuts, seeds, fruit etc like there was no tomorrow. Never been so healthy in my life! Piglet came early after a pre-eclampsia scare but was a healthy weight with no problems. So look after yourself - it really is worth it!

    FUAS - What can I say? I'll just send lots of ((hugs)). Only YOU know if you are doing the right thing. In your heart of hearts you WILL know if its right or not, even if it is so very painful.

    BHB - well done on resisting the urge. I swear its got something to do with the weather...I have the urge this evening to wander round the garden with a nice glass of Pinot, admiring my flowers...ahem...weeds (but they ARE pretty!!:D)

    Budgie - Poor you and OH! Its horrible when men are out of work - I think they take it very hard. Lots of ((hugs))

    Jo - hope your face improves soon!!!!:D

    Phew...anyway, I'm a bit better today. Aches have gone but just have sore feet today. Yesterday was Piglets Nursery fete (it was lovely) and then me and my Mum went to my SIL's village - they had open gardens in the afternoon so we wandered round for FOUR hours!!:eek: It was gorgeous (typical English Village) and we had a lovely time. I even asked fr a lemonade at the Pimms stand! Stepdaughter came with us and I thought she would be a sulky teenager but she was fantastic. Loved it all (mostly the peering through posh houses windows!!:eek::rotfl:). And tonight we spent an hour at the local little airfield watching parachutists come down. All in all a nice weekend.

    Hope everyone is ok. **Waves** to all those I haven't mentioned. Hope you've all had lovely weekends!

    Jo - so glad you put yourself up (quietly!) for it!!! I'll go on the waiting list for July I think!

    And yes, I did have a perfect weekend. Lots of guessing the name of the panda, lemonade ice lollies in the garden. tombola (can you believe I won a bottle of wine!!?! Hastily passed onto my Mum!!!), swinging on 20ft tree swings in peoples gardens , cream teas etc. Idyllic!!!! Sigh.....does it HAVE to be Monday tomorrow!?

    Miss Piggy, that sounds like a great weekend.

    Fedup - thinking of you, what you're going through must be very painful. Sending you big hugs. xx

    Dotstar - congratulations on your news!

    Still on 6 AF days I think (kind of lost track this month) which is poor really. Lost an AF day today to a teeny wee glass of wine, shouldn't have bothered really but at least it was only 1.

    See you tomorrow xx

    Hi all. I hope you're all doing well. Just a quick post from me as I've been catching up after a few days away. Fedup, I don't really know what to say. It's really hard to part from someone you love. You should be soooo proud of yourself for not hitting the bottle. Look after yourself. I'm thinking of you.

    How are you 40SM? I've managed 11 AFDs so far. Thank you.
    Got to go now. Night. Take care everyone. X
