  • Hi all

    Been to MILs this afternoon - just like Miss Piggy, a very trying time going to their house. Got back and desperate for a spritzer or two, but really, really talked to myself, took 2 kudzu's, reminded myself that if I don't have an AFD today, I'll miss my target. Like GC says, it's the first drink that makes you drunk, and all that. So resisting so far ... :j

    I expect to add another AFD to my signature later this evening ...

    ((()))s go all that need them at the moment. The incessant rain doesn't help one's mood :confused:

    Bi for now xx
    Total AFD's May-December 2009: 178 ie 73% of total days (245 days)
    Target January: 25 actual: 24 Target Feb: 22 actual 22 Target March: 26 Actual: 24 Target April: 25 Actual: 5

    PIR, you have my sympathies on the in-laws front. I hate going to mine, there's always something that gets my back up. And I always feel VERY desperate for a drink after visiting!

    Now, budge - what's all this with YOU slipping. You KNOW that isn't allowed ;) You're in on the group...errr...thingy tomorrow. Let that be start, young lady......



    Molls - where's ya whip?????

    I'm back:hello::hello:

    Can I join in the group hug thingy tomorrow please....and then the whips out.......Too much slacking going on I think.

    Thanks for sticking with doing the scoring Jo.....
    And Miss Piggy...thanks for volunteering for August....do you want to borrow the whip me dear...;):D

    There has been a lot of stuff going on on here while I was away.
    I for one need this thread as much as I ever did.It really keeps me on the straight and narrow.If I didn't have to report in(i know I don't HAVE to,but its part of my life now:D) I am sure I would have had a drink long ago.While on holiday I really wanted to just go out for a meal ,have one glass of wine and be 'NORMAL',but I thought of all of you and kept my sensible head on knowing that the first drink would make me drunk.....this is my life now and I really must get used to it:o

    Hugs to all struggling and well done to those not:rolleyes:
    Have a lovely evening

    Take care of you
    Love Mollypollyxxxx

    Hi Fedup

    Someone (Timetogrowup I think) has suggested tomorrow as the day when as many people as can will have one AF day.....to boost the target scores I think.

    Hope work starts to get better for you and that you DO get paid.
    Well done for being AF today.

    Take care of you
    Love Mollyypollyxxxx

    FUAS - some of us are going for a collective AF day tomorrow. And thought we'd have a group hug while we're at it! PLease join us! I hope you week isn't as bad as you are expecting. Fingers crossed.

    Mollypolly - think I may need that whip...all this changing of targets this month...think I may have to be a strict Miss Piggy in August!:rotfl:;)

    Jo - Out-laws is right....don't get me started on them!!!

    Anyway, only a quick post...off to watch On Thin Ice. Oh, I love that Ben Fogle (even with frost-bite on his nose!!)
