    Hi there,

    Sorry I've been AWOL for a while, just seem to be so busy at the moment and am struggling to keep up!! Anyway I am on 13 days please GG. I now know Im not going to make my target, but am not going to beat myself up about it as this is far better tham I've done in longer than I can remember!!

    Jo big hugs for you chick, you have come so far and are doing brilliantly.

    Squizz, hi and welcome, don't be nervious everyone is great here so supportive :D

    Marru, can you put me down for 15 again for December please, maybe I'll get there this time!!

    Hi to everyone else, hope you are all ok on this horrid rainy evening :D

    Mari xx
  • 23 please, GG.

    I'm going to miss my target by 1 AFD :eek::eek:

    Budgie - hiya and thanks for asking about the job - it's OK, but the person I am supposed to 'report to' drives me potty, hence the missing of target by 1!!! She is so annoying!!

    Things in the PIR household a bit stressed at the moment with DD1 and her A level work and blooming UCAS form which has finally been handed in. And DD2 has her GCSE mocks this week. DD3 seems OK though (touch wood). So I can do without lazy line managers to add to my stress!

    Target for December - erm - going on hols for a week before Christmas, to the Alps, France, so must allow myself some wine there. I'll go for 20 AFDs, please Marru.

    Must get on - a zillion things to do before tomorrow.

    Total AFD's May-December 2009: 178 ie 73% of total days (245 days)
    Target January: 25 actual: 24 Target Feb: 22 actual 22 Target March: 26 Actual: 24 Target April: 25 Actual: 5
  • HI chaps

    SOrry for the no show over weekend - OH been for one of his 'fleeting visits'.

    Can't report any more AFDs actually haven't done too well at all. One drinking day for me it would seem leads to more drinking days.

    Its a vicous spiral - thanks Jo for the texts today - hugs to you all. OH wasn't drinking and did mention my lack of gold stars if I had a few drinks but I continued regardless. Had a hard think today -

    AF tonight - well done chaps on your scores - welcome Squizz

    Away off to catch up on some posts

    Oh Molly- I missed that cause I was on here- call me naive, but what do you do with the orange? Just eat it like a normal orange? Thank god I hadn't thought of this in my drinking days- people at work would have been amazed to see me just bring oranges for my packed lunch.................
