Hi Guys,
Sorry I have been awol but I have refrained from using my computer at night when I get in from work. I haven't even lurked though I have been thinking of you all.
We have all joked over my sooooooo long posts but I have realised that I need to devote more time to Mr BB hence my abscence.
You see I am out all day and then when I was getting in from work I was catching up on the thread and replying, so really not spending enough time with my Dh.
So although I will not be about as much, please don't thing that I care any less. You are all so very important to me and I shall be about, and when I am not I shall be thinking of you.
YM mate I have lost track so I shall say 13 af days so far it may be more but I am not sure. Hope you are well and that life is treating you kindly.
Dear Lurky thanks for the mail and hugs matey, I have replied and you are a diamond, something will turn up for you I just know it. (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Darling Jo I have replied to you too Angel, hugs and I do hope that you are ok? (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Miss P and darling Piglet I hope you are both well? (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
BHb how are you doing matey? Hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Fay I am hoping that life is good for you too? Big hugs (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Pricey how is the job going? Hope it is ok? Hugs (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Maman and Winey how are you two doing? Hugs (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Fedup how are you doing hun? any joy on the job front? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ok everyone I must fly for now but to YOU ALL I hope that life is good for you and that you are getting to where you want to be? (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
To any new members that I have missed hugs and take care and good luck. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ok I will try and catch up, I have not been about since thread 4 I think:eek:
Oh my oh my ..............................
Ps if I have missed something really important then I am sorry. But there are soooooooo many pages and soooooooooooo little time.

Evening everyone.
One more AFD for me please YM, so that's 21/27.
OH and I have decided we really need to lose some pounds (of weight, not dosh!) so we are cutting down on our food and upping our healthy eating and exercise as of tomorrow. Urrgh
It's another positive move I hope. I know I will feel and look 10 times better after losing some weight, so we'll see how it goes. I'm not going to set myself any targets, as staying AF remains the most important issue for me.
Hi to everyone and it's brilliant to see how well everyone has done in September, with our AFness. :T
Hugs,
Caz

27 for me please YM.
Only 5 miles walked today...seemed quite easy so maybe fitness levels getting better. Aiming for a 9 mile walk in the week too.
Wish I felt better in the mornings though....its been 30 consecutive days AF now & still groggy....some mornings I have to remind myself that I hav`nt drunk anything ...thats how bad I feel.
Strangely enough I was never a heavy drinker...I started my AF journey as I was starting to `need` a couple of glasses every night...never had bad hangovers at all.
Anyway...good to hear that you OK BB & `Hi` to everyone.
