    Hello people

    Some may say this is old hat but here we go again - resolve is often strongest on Mondays - but it can be hard if you've had a weekend of having a few drinks

    OK- how about you guys?? What are you putting off that you could be getting on with tonight rather than opening a bottle and having a peedie glass of something?

    PPS I have some ace pics of the weekend away - which I may even bore you with :)

    So you're sending us old hats as well as old socks:D:A

    I totally agree about getting off to a good start on Mondays. I'm off to my dancing class as usual and it'll be 10.30 before I get back so I wouldn't dream of spoiling an AF day then.

    Love to see the pics, please don't just flash them up for a limited period when I'm out!

    Good evening,

    I am back being friends with DD after disastorous morning.

    Had done my run again, didn't think I could run 5 minutes in one go but it seems that I can. Encouraged by this I have found a training programme towards the 10k if I get a place for it.

    I shall be FAFFing in bath tonight hoping that I can drown my head ache. So 8 for me please Fay.

    40SM - hugs to you!!!

    Oh - I almost bought a slanket from Mr A but managed to resist

    February has been named as Fabulously Alcohol Free February or something in those lines. So if we are AF this month we are FAFFing.

    PS anybody has any experience about door step collections? I have tried to get a F&F offer accepted and then today I got a letter from iQor Recovery Services.

    [Please note having a peedie glass of something whilst not FAFFing is perfectly acceptable - think limits of course :)] xxxxxxxx

    How you faffing ce soir??

    I am making sandwich fillings, fajitas for dinner and iron two sets of school uniform :) and probably helping make a cake

    Stuff I *should* have done last night, had I been FAFFing :o

    :DNeigh, neigh, and thrice neigh :D
  • Thanks Maman,

    Life is very difficult at the moment and I must admit that I am struggling to cope with it all. I should be at work at the moment but am trying to calm myself down as I have a massive knot in my stomach.

    Check out if your school has a parent support adviser. They are there to help with all kinds of things and will hopefully get to the root of the droblem of why your son doesn't want to go to school. Good Luck.

    Hey chaps I'm finally warm

    Long hot bath - coconut King prawn and chicken tom yum (hot spicy soup with noodles) and now cosy inside and out

    Must brush my sea locks as they've been washed

    Lurks - yum yum to your tea

    PBT hello - great advice there....................

    PS lurks you are right I always start off with the best of intentions with lots to do - if I open a bottle of wine - it all goes out of the window after the first glass - although I use to be more productive!

    Marru glad you and DD are OK :) all your running is making me feel very lazy. Hotel room we were in on Friday did not have very flattering mirrors.....I must lose a bit more weight
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
    Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:
    minus 112.06 = £7755.32:money:
    :money:Sleeves up folks.:money:

    Evening all,
    Tonight I will be FAFFing with werewolves, ghosts and vampires - that's right, I'm catching up on last night's 'Being Human'. Got 50 minutes before we sit down to watch - better go and get the house straight.

    Sorry my posting is infrequent and brief - I've just got a really busy time at the moment.

    Have a Faffing evening, Gromit.
    Trying to keep in budget.

    Felt the urge tonight but not given in. So this will be my 6th AFD well on the way towards my target.

    Back on the diet as well after weekend. Drinking loads of dilute juice to help with both.
