Morning All :wave:
The sun is actually shining here for a change. I'm in work though!
Need to find a Post Office so I can send my Ebay item. It's heavy, so can't carry it far. Won't be home on time to catch my local post office that I can park outside. Turning into a hassle already :rolleyes: Maybe I should have started with something smaller. Or not told the guy I would post it today.
Oh well, it's a learning curve
Much love XNeed to start again

Morning all,
Congratulations to GG and YM for hitting your targets, here's another couple of jumpies for good measure :j:j:D
GG, congratulations for deciding on an AF life, good luck
Budgie, hope you are okay? I hate it when you feel so down
PIR, have a great day in London tomorrow, dont wanna wanna put a dampener on it, but the weathers supposed to be rain all day down here in London tomorrow, so if I were you I'd plan lots of inside things
Hopefully the forcaster has got it wrong 
T2GU, have a great birthday tomorrow
FH, congrats on the first ebay sale
, what did you sell? Hope you manage to get it to the post office 
Morning and hugs to everyone else
I didn't manage yesterday AF, so sorry I'm a bit crap. Plan to be AF today though. Feeling very low and quiet here without DD1, I'm sure she's having a great time and not at all thinking about us at home :rotfl:it's already 32 degrees there.
Have a great day everyone :wave:DFW Nerd no. 496 - Proud to be dealing with my debts!!0 -
Afternoon all!
FH - hope you manage to get your ebay parcel posted - I try and sell just light and small things!:rotfl:;)
Jo - ((hugs)) DD1 will be back before you know it. And I'm now on 26 days for Aug please. Ta!
**waves** to everyone else!
Back later to catch up!
Miss P

Hey Jo, I'm following you around :rotfl:
Miss Piggy~flippin' well done on your AF count this month :j
I find it funny that sometimes a day AF seems difficult, let alone a week/month. And yet not long ago I went 9 months not touching a drop when I was pregnant. I'm not sure woman who drink through pregnancy badly enough to inflict a disability on their child can live with themselves. There's a boy in our town that shows all the signs. Such a shame
Much love XNeed to start again

Hi FH,
I agree, I went 3 weeks last month, wasn't easy but day 1 is the hardest, just can't get back up on that ladder.....bells are tolling already :eek:
PS....what type of chicken are you using and how long do you cook it for
