    Afternoon all :D

    Welcome Steve :wave: hope you can handle the thread, it's off topic haven here :D:D

    Back on topic, I did crap last night, had a row with OH and it all went toots up....I wouldn't mind it was almost 10pm :eek:

    Then DD1 got toothache so bad that she was crying and shaking with the pain and I was over the limit (again :rolleyes:) so couldn't drive her anywhere but couldn't tell anyone why. Luckily had some codyramols which helped and today she's refusing to go to the dentist :mad:

    So the upshot is, I'm p!ssed off with myself, dunno when I'm ever gonna get a permanent place on the AF wagon.

    I'll try again today.

    Took the Berocca this morning and I didn't do any dancing so I now know that alcohol is no good for me, I love dancing.....

    BHB, I've got to remember to post the pictures of the planets for you, gimme half hour....

    Afternoon all

    I'm afraid AF May went out the window yesterday. Went to my brothers for a BBQ and they had a jug of pimms. I just didn't say no. So much for willpower.

    I had three glasses and then all the way home I was beating myself up for it. I ranted to my OH that I was a failure and he told me off straight away. This is the trouble though....perhaps I'm putting too much pressure on.

    So I've decided to leave the May challenge for a while. Budgie, I'm really sorry to let you down. I will probably still lurk but I think I need to get off my butt and find something to occupy myself!

    So (hugs) to everyone. I will still pop in and out and I'll most likely be back next month.

    Miss P
