  • Morning :wave:

    Had a couple of glasses last night, so don't feel as bright as I did yesterday but not too bad!

    Am def going to faff tonite (rarely drink on a Sunday anyway) so Friday night's Faff and tonite's Faff makes a grand total of 17 FAFFS for Feb please Fay.
    Will try harder next month!!! Thanks again for scoring.

    Well done to everybody else

    Shaggy - Please can you put me down for 23 MAD's - I am determined to make my target in March. :)

  • Woke up naturally again, like the feeling of waking up in this way at the weekend.

    Like Jo, I'm finding it a) more difficult to switch my brain off and sleep or b) don't need as much sleep? (until the working week starts again that is!)

    Last day for FAFFing before we go MAD

    Lets be strong if we want to and have a final FAFF![/QUOTE]

    Morning all - well many faff reports coming in and I am so delighted for all of you
    :j

    I'd just like to say - why don't we try and have our UK wide faffathon tonight and see if we can get FEBRUARY out with a grand team effort so we can start March with an AFD under our belts and get a great head start for when we want to go MAD. (Love this by the way shaggy!!!)

    OK now for the serious stuff - :D socks and chocolate :D

    I know many of you have shrugged off the socks - but don't - but neither feel pressured - I have a substantial sock stash of over 25 pairs of NEW amazingly coloured, striped, pyschadelic, flowery, cake covered, farm animal covered and many many beautiful socks

    So if you want to claim your free pair (and I will accept donations for postage) although I can post most through work :o - as they will be in discreet brown plain envelopes - no shame in sock sending - no one will know why you've got a random pair of socks in the post.

    SO PM me with sock preference and address if I don't have it - or simply PM the word CHOCOLATE and I will send on a bar of delightful stuff in the same discreet fashion!

    SO don't be shy

    PM - the word SOCK or CHOCOLATE (or both:D) to receive your free pair.

    YOu know it makes sense!!!!

    Please note - this offer is only for FAFFers :D

    PS BHB - you get a special heavy parcel of the W stuff :) just getting it sorted :)
    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:

    Yes, quite.....


    b) don't need as much sleep?

    Huh??? *confused*

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :D

    Morning all :D

    Don't think I got to sleep till after 2am and had the most horrendous nightmare that kept waking me up. Hence, didn't wake up till 10am this morning and am now running late, need to go to the laundrette with all my washing which will take a couple of hours, get the shopping in AND get my stuff for the interview tomorrow :eek:

    Best run!!!

    Have a good day :)

  • Morning all :hello:

    Just thought I'd pop in and say a big big thank you to Fay for doing the scoring. You are truely something else :A:T:T.

    I am probably going to be a lurker rather than a poster on this thread in March as I am trying to concentrate on other things.

    I am really trying to tackle my debt head on now and as a consequence have had to cut right back on buying wine. The result is I can have a glass of wine every night but not a bottle :).

    No doubt I will see many of you on various diaries... so many to keep up with.:eek:

    Good luck with thw scoring in March Shaggy. I have no doubt that you will be awesome.

    Love to you all
