    Um no - not really (hence the stripey socks) but otherwise I am indeed I think genetically matched with hobbit dna

    I like gardeing especially
    I like cooking
    I like looking after folks
    I am very peedie (little)
    I am hobbit shaped
    I live in an extensive garden which is like the Shire
    I love flowers and all things that grow
    I have at least 3 breakfasts a day and always planning next meals

    Therefore the conclusion I have come to is that I am indeed a hobbit.:D

    AF for me yesterday too, so that's 15 for me please YM.
    I must say, I do like this habit of "reporting in" in the morning - it gives me a sense of achievement! How sad am I?!

  • Good Morning Everyone.

    :j:jAF day 16 here ! Wow thats very good for me.

    Had a full blood thingy test recently...got results yesterday & yes you guessed it `abnormal` very sobering I can tell you. I kind of `knew` that the drink was doing me damage (but as liver damage is `silent` until its too late) I would always think `another day won`t make any difference` trouble is that `another day ` became another week, another month, another year!!

    Yet another very good reason to get my alcohol `demons` out of my life for good!!! I feel I am finally getting stronger every day.

    Good luck everyone!

    Me too !!

    I was out walking ( 5 miles on the peaks around Edale...more like a climb actually!!) while I was up there I was relecting on my AF score so far & I then I realised that if I had still been drinking then no way would I have been able to do a tough walk like this!! The views were stunning too.

    Actually my legs are complaining like hell this morning but it was worth the effort:D:D:D

    Angiexx

    ps....YM did you google `hairy feet` for that picture? the mind boggles at the results you must have got:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
