    :T:T:T Loved the lights YM, thank you so much for the treat!

    Welcome back cazza, we've missed you. I'm still here coping well with my modest cutting-downer targets.

    jo, it's so hard to know what to say. As I'm a lightweight, flippant, cutter-downer and you are someone who really wants to give up what I would do in your position and what you think is right for you are poles apart. Personally I would go out with your lovely friend, have a great time and then have several AF nights mid-week to balance it out. But that's me! Good luck whatever you decide.

    Hope review went well fay.

    Good to see you back with us HB.

    Not AF tonight so won't be helping your statistics marru. Loads of editing going on as I type rubbish due to non-AF fingers.

    :hello: to any lurkers and I hope BHB is one of them!

    'night all :A

    Morning :hello:

    Phew - made it through last night. That was despite every other advert in "I'm a celeb" being for alcohol:p 2 hours of alcohol ads and I still resisted.:jI did feel tempted but I'd already had enough units over the last 7 days so this kept me focused.

    Anyhoo, no plans for tonight so there is a possiblilty of another AFD today. So

    2 AFDS for me please Marru

    Good Luck

    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.
