    Danger time approaching - finish at 1 & have to go to village shop on way home....went in this morning but The Slow Lady works on a Fri, any queue of more than one makes me late for work & there were 3 people waiting :eek: so I do have to pop in on my way home....& it's licenced...& I'm feeling weak. Mainly cos it's Friday. Always was my "big night" rather than Sat; 30 yrs of habit die hard.

    Need strong vibes to STEP AWAY from the wine shelf.


    That made me laugh . We have a slow lady works in our local coop from 6am to 9am . She picks up every item in your basket, stares at it intently , then has to make a comment about each one... " ran out of milk then" " Oh do you like them.. mm I don't " . Thank god she does not work there at "wine o'clock " .. can just imagine " ooh finished that last bottle already ?:rotfl::rotfl:"

    I also have got the " Friday feeling " ... got to just get past it.:o

    40SM:D
  • My 5 yr old has just come out with a random question ( as they do ).

    " Mum, did you want me to pick you ? " . Thinking that I had missed some game that I was supposed to be involved in ( again)... I said "when darling. " When I was born " I said " oh yes and why did you pick me."

    "cos , you look like me and I thought you might be quite good at things like cuddling , which you are quite good at but you are rubbish at playing football":rotfl::rotfl: Glad to be the " chosen " one:rolleyes:

    40SM:D

    Thanks for the welcome.

    YM - sorry, I meant I've already done 3 AF days and want to do 30/30. Does this make sense? Senior moment

    Winebox - Hi, I am a bit vertically challenged but not quite that much! I do a lot of running which helps!

    Marthasdad - Hi to you, I am looking forward to reporting in too with AF days

    Happy friday to everyone

    OMG 40SM that is SO cute :D made me well up it did :)

    WB, step away from the wine counter please :naughty: read some Marian Keyes or summat...

    Hi to everyone else :wave:

    Welcome to MrsJC, out of lurkdom and into the fire :eek: we are all lovely really, a bit nuts at times (them not me :D). Good luck for Sept :)

    Gotta be strong tonight myself....just spoke to OH, apparently he came in at 1.30am this morning and is very ill today (:D:D:D;)) a row broke out between some of his work/drinking buddies, blood was shed :eek: luckily he wasn't involved. He said he might go out for a couple after work to help him recover. I told him that his symptoms are alcohol poisoning and he shouldn't shove more in but think it fell on deaf ears :rolleyes: so 'might' be home alone again tonight :eek: (to cut a long story short :rolleyes:).
    DFW Nerd no. 496 - Proud to be dealing with my debts!!

    Ooooh Jaffa cakes! Haven't had one of those for ages.
    I can see you're going to lead me astray 40SM. And I've just
    been good and had rice cakes for lunch - 29 calories each - that's
    'cos they're mostly made of air:rotfl:
  • Afternoon everyone.

    Welcome Mrsjc & well done on 3 days in September so far:T:T......hmmm jaffa cakes....why is it when someone puts that though in your head you just have to go buy some ;)

    Winebox hope you `survive` the village shop.

    Jo...hmmm `unhungoverness` liking that word.

    Marthasdad - were youi getting a bit lonely Hun? mind you an hour of no posts on here is very unusual !

    PIR.. good luck for new job on Monday

    40SM...kids ehhh :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:my DD is 18 & asks randon questions like that...usually in an attempt to get money out of me or for me to buy her something!

    Finally YM - enjoy your day off.

    Happy Friday to everyone else...(still getting used to names etc)

    AF-ness all going well here..not a drop since 29th Aug :j:j !!
