A'ernoon all :wave:

Hiya Budgie, how's it going girlie? Have no idea on the tax credit office I'm afraid except that they are constantly sending me money then insisting I give it back . Looking forward to XF tonight J&E must stay in, I love Simon's gutted face and Louis' amazed face when they get through!!

Fay, how's the party going? You are braver than me Could you put me down for 26 for this month please, didn't make my target but I'm pretty pleased with the progress

PIR, sympathies my dear, I've most definately been there, numerous times :rolleyes: but what you must focus on is your amazing signature, in 6 months you've hit or passed your target 4 times! I appreciate when you do drink you overdo it but use the AFD's you've accumulated to egg you on for an AF November. You can do it, just stay focused xx Oh, just seen your post about Miffy that's really sad - 'Rabbity Sam' as she's called will be safe from predators as she is purely a house bunny

Mari, how lovely to see you back posting Good luck my dear!! xx

Been cleaning again today, kids are driving me absolutely insane over this bloomin rabbit :mad: they won't leave her alone! Waiting for DD1 to get home from work so I can go to Tesco and get some peace :rotfl:

Indeed Lurkioioio dinnae be daft

Fay, Did you see Jonathan Ross last night? I was thinking of you and the Scottish contingent on here. He was asking his guests to read wine bottle labels (that, funnily enough wasn't the bit that made me think of you, in fact I've only just realised that bit now :rolleyes:), and they had to do it in accents. Dara O'Briain did it in a scottish accent, me being from London thought it sounded superb!!

Budgie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

And I thought it was your incontinent Uncle Gerald ruining the garden!:D

Good to have you posting Budgie, we miss you and all our absent friends when you go quiet.

PIR, I so understand the bit about overdoing it on 'drinking' days. My tolerance is definitely way down on what it was and I'm going to try hard in November to go easy when I'm not AF. I'm amazed the hangovers I've had the last few weekends when before coming on here I used to drink this much (at least bottle) EVERY night and then go to work next day with hardly any apparent effects.

I'm hopped on at the moment.. got the most amazing hangover ever..... having very sad times with big sis emigrating in about 10 days time.. leaving party last night... vat of white wine consumed.. (usual tipple is red..) and am as sick as a dog.... been back to bed twice, and looking forward to going back there after x factor... keep the twins in.. that's my vote... well not really coz I don't vote, but you KWIM....

So i'm AF at the moment, well i'm not i'm full of the stuff... on the lucozade at the moment.. but I'll see how the evening goes.. haven't set target yet for November, got a few more 'leaving' do's to get through, but AM going to join back in, starting with a 72 hour mon-weds next week..

Thanks to Fay for scoring.. I've been really rubbish so at least mine were easy to add up......xx
