  • Evening everyone

    OK - on 3rd AF day - hurrah! That is very good for me - would absolutley love a glass now though! Will not cave though......

    Hope everyone is keeping warm - think we are due more snow tonight - aargh.. Managed to get dd to hospital today for x-ray (first time we've been out since 2nd Jan!!!)

    Anyway did a sneaky stock up in Sainsbugs so feel a little less worried about being stuck.

    Okay, I'm sorry HB, but !!!!!! is that :confused: I didn't know the elephant man was in Star Wars :confused:

    Just a quickie to let you know that I've got my results back from the docs and they are all normal.

    He said the liver function is 13 and should be lower than 40.

    My GGT is 44 which is higher than the 0-31 range but not too worrying as a few days not drinking it will come back down.

    Phew....

    Oh and well done to everyone who has lost weight, I am not bitter honestly ;)

    Just to recap I am feeling ok, no alcohol for me and we have one bottle of port and one bottle of gin left. (The port was my DS's and the gin was a present). Its in the kitchen and I am not in the least tempted by it :D Personally I wouldn't drink on our meet up, aside of being on the 365 day challenge. It would just feel too naughty.

    So God Bless everyone and lots of love

  • Wow, you lot have been busy! If there's no curry required I am up for the London meet up.

    We used wire wool to stuff into the mouse holes and they don't seem to like eating it although I felt guilty thinking of them trying to gnaw through it.
    Welcome to Mookie Pook and very well done to Hollie, you're off to a good start!

    Pinkie and the Brain and Dangermouse are the best!

    :wave:

    So much happening on here, it's hard to keep up.

    Welcome to newbies, apologies where are my manners:o

    Great news about your car YM, somehow we always fear the worst (most expensive) is going to happen.

    Budgie, I'm even more worried about you falling on the ice now I know you have a bit of arthritis. Take care of you!

    Fay I hope you got your work in today. I do admire the effort you put into it whatever the powers that be have to say.

    Jo, great news about the test results. Is there a next step or is it all down to you to find support now?

    Marru, hope you are feeling brighter today.

    This post is turning Budgiesque and I could never match up to that! Sending hugs to all and :T to all of you who've achieved an AF Monday.

    5AF please HB Sleep well and hope your furry friends leave your home very soon (and that's not the Ewoks).
