    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.

    Hi Marru:hello:

    I will aim for 17 AFDs in December I think. Of course, it would be great if I could get a few more but I suppose with Christmas and New Year temptation will be everywhere runforhills.gif

    I can't get over how smug and self righteous some people posting on some threads are - some are really vicious. Let's just hope they really ARE perfect because otherwise they're mighty hypocrites.

    Hi gien :hello:

    'tis true. I don't know what gets into some people. :o

    Have a great day.

    I went to a dinner party last night, where I and other guests enjoyed copious amounts of alcohol.

    I awoke this morning not feeling well, with what could be described as flu-like symptoms; headache, nausea, chills, sore eyes, etc.

    From the results of some initial testing, I have unfortunately tested positive for what experts are now calling Wine Flu.



    This debilitating condition is very serious - and it appears this is not an isolated case.

    Reports are flooding in from all around the country of others diagnosed with Wine Flu. To anyone that starts to exhibit the aforementioned tell-tale signs, experts are recommending a cup of tea and a bit of a lie down.

    However, should your condition worsen, you should immediately hire a DVD and take some Nurofen. Nurofen seems to be the only drug available that has been proven to help combat this unusual type of flu. Others are reporting that pastry and chocolate can also help in some cases.



    If not, then further application of the original liquid, in similar quantities to the original dose, has been shown to do the trick.

    Wine Flu does not need to be life threatening and, if treated early, can be eradicated within a 24-48 hour period.
    Cheers!

    NOTE……………If you find you are complaining a lot, it may be that it has mutated into Whine Flu. This is particularly common in men and can quickly spread to their partners where the symptoms are detected as a serious case of eye-rolling
