    HoneyBear loved the ditty :T hope all is well at Bear Towers? I went shopping for some new pj's and when I saw some that said: "bedtime bear" on them, well I just had to get them ;) Hugs matey (()) xxxxxxxxxxxx

    Well, of course ;)

    Hope you're feeling ok, sweetheart. I'm also here if you need your paw holding :)

    PIR, didn't see The Times article but if I took a straw poll of my friends I think that would be an accurate representation - would've been me too :o Am enjoying getting regular Af days under my belt once again ;)

    And hi, JG - onwards & upwards ;)

    Fay, hugs honey - i know it's a bit tough right now :)

    Not sure about the Challenge, mainly cos I suspect I'll be in the pub during the week & will want a drink :o

    I'm happy to take a roll call tho, if anyone is up for it ;)

    Hi everyone

    Signs - welcome to the madhouse!
    Budgie - hope you are ok. Look after yourself
    Fay - ((hugs)) to you. Hard times for you. Stay strong.
    Jo - hope you are feeling better

    How are we all this Sunday evening? Not an AF day today - had one glass of wine with dinner at Mums and then felt annoyed as I'd missed out on adding an AF day to my total!:rolleyes:

    Piglet enjoyed his Santa Express trip. Although he covered his face when he went in the grotto bit and refused to speak to Santa!:rotfl:It was lovely for me and OH to have some time together. We had a nice wander round town. It was great.

    Was reading all the suggestions people were putting forward to our newest joiner, Signs. Think I will try the putting money in a pot each time I resist buying a bottle of wine. I'm desperate to get our living room decorated so could put the money towards that. Very MSE of me!:T

    Anyway, off to watch last half hour of X factor. Have had sports personality programme inflicted on me for the last two hours!

    Miss P
