    How about we don't shoot you - it seems like a bit of an excessive step?

    Instead how about we send you lots of virtual choklit and some fizzy pop?

    Hugs me dear

    Aaawww, don't be too hard on yourself Jo :confused:

    I am going to be rubbish in August with holidays and lots of other socialising going on :eek: Got a big celebration on Thursday and an even bigger one midweek next week :eek:;) which will involve lots of socialising,meals,wine on a normal AF night :confused: I am not beating myself up over it - special occasions and holidays are my midweek exceptions, it's just that the end of July, the whole of August, and December are full of celebrations :eek:

    Anyway, enough rambling :D, please put me down for 10 for today Jo when you get the chance, and I hope you manage to have a good evening xx

    Can tell I've missed loads, including a whole new shiny thread starting so will try to catch up.
    Big understatement that one!

    Good grief, can't believe I missed so much in a short time! Started writing an epic and ended up with tears in my eyes and couldn't see to type any more.
    Not leaving you lot alone again for a few days while I'm glugging too much wine!! Haven't quite caught up but nearly.
    PiR - Good luck!
    Time to grow up - you done fab - well done!!
    69 Chick - Get well soon, Hope you feel better soon. Here's a wine flu joke I stole just for you, with apologies to Miss piggy!!

    4Piglet and Pooh Bear were walking in the forest. Piglet looked up at Pooh Bear and thought, "Wow, I am so lucky to have such a great friend!" Pooh Bear glanced at him and thought, "If he sneezes one more time, I am OUTTA HERE!"

    ETA hmm, wine flu, interesting typo that!
