Me neither fay, I stopped watching Eastenders in the first year it was on. Too miserable (the show not me:D). In fact I gave up watching soaps when there seemed to be so many programmes on in a week that I couldn't catch up. Each to his own though and I'm glad so many of you are enjoying it.

Lovely, lovely views from 'your' house. Everything crossed for you!

It's wine o'clock - the hour when the bells starting ringing. Make sure you are well hydrated with a big drink of pop or tea or hot chocolate and the bells lessen in loudness and fade away quietly. Then try to relax - have abath if you can or start to make tea

Then the H and T out of HALT are dealt with (Hungry and Thirsty) leaving the A and L to deal with (Anger and Lonely). A bath or watching something you enjoy on TV can cope with the A and if you don't feel L great - all dealt with - if you do, is there anyone you can ring for a quick chat or pop on here?

Thanks Sparkles. Just had tea. Veg curry and spicy sausages and drinking lemonade. So H and T dealt with. I guess I'll pop back on later as I'll be on my own all evening so I will feel L later.

Hope everyone has a good evening.

Hi everyone. I'm on 17/28 today cos I had a day out shopping yesterday and had wine with my lunch. However tonight i'm FAFFing with Diet Coke and my first batch of Twinks Hobnobs (not going to eat them all though, I promise). Have got back into baking in the last week or so and am really enjoying it. Have a lovely Saturday evening everyone xx

Thanks for doing this - I'm really chuffed that you did!! I try and do it before I leave work if I'm in the office but today been out and about too much.

Its so true isnt it HALT

I've both kids out for tea, one on a sleepover and one just out for tea - she was going for a sleepover but we decided it be nice to have some 'us' time later - which of course means a FAFF

I've sorted my scoff, have some juice, got you lot and asked lodger girlie if she wants to watch a movie - so - I'm calling this a FAFF

PS MAman I've everything crossed as well!

Well done Fay!

To all the FAFFer's doing well tonight!

Only one thought (it's wine o'clock) tempted me when it popped into my head when I took the dog on his evening walk, then I thought of HALT straight away for the first time and the original thought went away!

Wel done Sparkles and Fay

And to everyone else FAFFing tonight. DS2 has gone to a party and DS1
just leaving to go to the pub so I'm the only FAFFer here - apart from the cat

Fay - I think your tactic of living in the middle of nowhere is a pretty good one!

Well done Jo for FAFFing tonight!

I'm FAFFing now with a glass of ginger beer (AF)

Can't find much to watch so a bit of the Star Trek film on Film4 then off the watch the last episode of Virtual Revolution at 8.15 which I cauhgt last week and enjoyed then QIXL after that and then beebs

Last week I realised it was ok to go to bed at the usual time on a Sat night as, afterall, it was just the same as any other night and no more special than they are and it was alright to watch a programme about the internet instead of searching for something 'entertaining'!

All those Fri and Sat nights out when I was younger left the imprint on my brain that you must alter your thinking somehow on a weekend, get hammered and go to bed late and even when I have changed all of this the slightly hammered and stay up feeling never left. Maybe now it has....and I am changing.....daren't say it properly in case it doesn't last...
