    Just my normal random waffle - made sense to me - anyone else who 'normally' drank everyday noticing it? Normally I'm pretty busy and effective
    - as most of us are!

    But - without the vino-collapso - I seem to be functioning on an entirely different level.

    Morning lurks/JO :) - ta for cheering me up - sad monotone household today. I'm even wearing black/brown (NO stripes - commonly unheard of).

    Also working out which of you wants to come up north and help me plant over 1000 willow cuttings and put up fences?

    Good Morning and I feel really good because I am declaring 1 MAD day please Shaggy. By the way please don't behave; Monday's pic was lush but todays!! Be still my beating heart. :heartpuls. The problem is how are you going to top Gorgeous George? Freddie Lundberg in Calvin Klein mode?

    Jo if you'll allow a newbie to join in the congratulations I'm so pleased for you well done.
    Fay I'm so sorry. Again if you'll allow a newbie, big ((((hugs.))))

    Thank God dour and sensible is the last thing any of you are. You wouldn't be such an inspiration if you were; thank you. I know I'm on a high because I have an AF day under my belt and I have started to try and take control of my chaotic life but I do believe that this forum and you guys are going to be a big help.

    That has to be motivational post of this - and all previous - AF threads. Puts it brilliantly in to context (for me, anyway :o)

    Doc, you're a bleeding genius!!!!

    Thirded!! :T:T:T
