    Evening Everyone.

    Terrible weather here. Horrible, Wet and cold:eek: Behind with this thread at the moment, can't resist watching "Celebrity Jungle" Poor Katie, got gunked again this evening. Christmas shopping is slow also, cant seem to get motivated this year!

    BB thanks for asking, I'm doing fine still on my challenge, lost count of the days, but I reach target on Christmas Eve. GG 18AF days for Nov to report, please. Let me see 65/100 thats right I think.

    Hope everyone else is okay, stay focused all of you. Loving Hot Vimto at the moment, too cold for the sparkly water.

    Good Nite All;)

    Think you might be the first to hit target and get a well-earned jumpie this month m'dear! ;)

    Thanks GG, although haying a low (but achievable target) does help :p I'm hoping to go over this month as the number of potential AF days in December is looking limited.

    9AF please GG

    and can we ask how you're doing yourself? On the AFness that is because

    You're doing a brilliant job on the scoring :T:T:T

    Weathers kinda normal here - force 6 and squally
    White xmas - um probably not, when we ever get snow it doesnt hang around

    Thank you for mentioning my evil debt busting :) It started with wine money - it scared me how much I wasted on wine, and the money to mop up the debris of my drinking head (breakfast, paraceatamol, lunch at work cos I didn't buy any - more rubbish later on and then spend EVEN more in the supermarket and 'accidentally' get anohter bottle of wine in the basket too - couldn't just go in for wine, then the midnight feasts etc ..................so to be honest the not drinknig bit (when I manage to not drink) has really affected my debt busting in a positive way!

    Goodness don't I sound all self self self - not meaning too - just amazed at the difference on my finances when I dont drink. I guess that cos I 'function' pretty nromally the next day or when drinking, I didn't really think drinking so much affected me so much - especially financially.

    Its still a battle at the moment - but I am trying hard. I wish I had found the resolve and peace that other folks have found......xx

    One day maybe. Still exercising my demons.......baby steps.

    Thanks fay, I'm fine now, had some hot chocolate and cheered up. The weather here is just grey and damp and windy. At the moment crisp and cold sounds inviting!

    Enough of me moaning at least my bed is where I left it this morning! (DON'T BE TEMPTED TO WORK IF YOU'RE SLEEPING IN THE STUDY!) Try and get a good night's sleep. Glad DS is feeling up to shifting his room around though.

    Maman - whoops you caught me - I moved my bed in here (my proper bed) as I was sleeping in the tiny single bed in here anyway mostly cos of working late. I;ve got stupid deadlines and it feels liek I have an attention deficiency (ie I am easily distracted!) I can do some work with the TV/radio on :) its only anohter month - then I get two weeks off - woo hoo

    No manners here Glasgow girl well done on scoring!!

    Glad you are feeling better now!

    PS its not really a study - mroe a bedroom with a desk in it - I let DS's bedroom when he moved into the attic (whoops) so I guess I owe him my room now its cold......

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.
