    Just dashed in to catch up before bed.

    Well done everyone AF tonight (not me, done a mixture of dozing in front of box while supposedly watching Pudsey and came awake to see Madness, Nolans and Spandau Ballet :shocked: we're all getting older and fatter!!)

    I must have missed it yesterday but noticed your sig today Miss P. Very well done on your wonderful lardloss. What a fabulous achievement, how have you managed it???

    Hi to Budgie, always feel pleased when you post. How are you and, of course, Mr BB and DS?

    Looking forward to seeing the Christmas lights. I'm sure it will be a great trip in excellent company :D

    Have a great weekend everyone.

    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.

    You all sounded nice and chirpy last night!

    As for me I opened a bottle of wine and guess how long it took me to drink one glass 2 HOURS!!!!

    Guess that says it all.

    nice to hear from 40SM, Miss P etc and the kind thoughts from maman the other night.

    I feel less up and down and more level at the moment. Not fixed completely however better mood wise. Trying to keep it going and keep the positivity flowing.

    Darwin looks good Crimbo'fied!

    Catch up with you all later - busy cleaning and exercise day for me - woo hoo!

    This is getting ridiculous sparkly, at this rate you'll be drinking one bottle a month! Perhaps you should go for a units challenge instead of AF days. Well done you :T

    Feeling a bit strange this morning, bit of a sore throat and headachey. I'm convinced I've got a cold coming but conscience tells me bottle of wine last night didn't help :o

    Have a good day everyone, food shopping and footie for me. Enjoy whatever you're up to.

    Hello,

    I shall disappear shortly and won't be back until late tomorrow evening. I had long to do list but running out of time. Eeek . I have now less than an hour to: wrap birthday pressie, iron DD's party dress, pack over night bag and clean piggies. Oops better get going. I am now officially a student and I have spent ages online to find out how much it would cost to get the tuition as distance learning and also from where to get funding. Aiming to get at least two units done in June 2010.

    Oh, I will be AF tonight so that is 21 please GG.

    Morning all :wave:

    We're off crimbo shopping today as I have to endure xmas dinner at the outlaws in outer mongolia tomorrow :( I hate it :(:(:( Kids are very excited :rolleyes:

    Hate it, hate it, hate it :(

    Still, the bonus side of it is that we have to be there at 1.30pm so that means it won't be a late one, we might even get home in time for XF and jungle (priorities of course ;)) PLUS that means I don't have to go there at the real xmas time :D:D:D so yes, I shall endure the pain of tomorrow in the knowledge that I won't have to see them again this year, as they are off on a month cruise around the world :D

    Every time I go there they try to shove wine down my throat, every single time I'm driving and can't drink, plus I don't like wine so no worries about an AF Sunday. This time however will be slightly different because I usually have to make some excuse when we get in, however late, to get to the shop to buy alcohol and I worry about this the whole time we're out. This time I don't need to make excuses :)

    Well done to everyone, you are doing so well, s'pecially Fay, fantastic :T

    Now, lets get on with Sober Saturday :D

    I like the Darwin UK Xmas Tour.

    :D

    The naughty ones can sit in the back row, whilst the others fight to drive and decide on the next destination.

    :xmastree:


    P.S. Have found the video:

    That's not very festive RA :confused: :rotfl:

    I'm thinking more of the dark chilly evenings, festive lights and AF eggnog :D

    This is maybe what's it's like round 40SM's at the moment.....??
