    Sneaks in - from deepest darkest enlgandshire

    Confesses to 3 days AF - sorry chaps - few pals few catch ups and a lot of fun - with only moderate drinking on the times I have drunk.

    - BUT have drank pretty moderately (1 glass - 2 glasses and 1/2 a glass and had a glass and left it thinking, um don't want this) KUDZU working me thinks :)

    Hope you are all fine, I arrive in England and it starts raining :)

    Well done FUAS.:T

    My wine bells are not ringing ... just tinkling a wee bit . Hopefully the noise that my 3 little lads are making will drown them out :rolleyes:

    Have a good night.

    I am AF again today. The bells aren't ringing at all today for some reason and I didn't even have to take any kudzu.
