    Sparkles, I hope you are feeling a bit more cheerful now.

    I'm about to make tea and go out to Mr T for some shopping
    while it is quiet. Wine bells are tinkling indeed for me but trying
    to resist. Never tried pomegranate drink. Will look out for it.

    Hope everyone else is ok. Jo - how are you doing?

    Just finished defrosting the freezer :eek: it was a little like defrosting the Antartic with a hairdryer!

    Freezer put back together and on fast freeze, then will go and get my freezer contents out of the neighbours freezer :cool:

    Off to make sausage, egg, chips and beans :drool:

    Hope you feel better later Sparkles x

    Nice to have a clear freezer! I have to push in the drawers with my foot
    at the moment.

    DS1 has just announced he is going clubbing again next weekend and now I'm feeling very anxious cos of what happened last time when I had to get someone to drive me to pick him up in a state in the middle of the night. :( He thinks I shouldn't be in the least bit worried!

    Evening all. Oh DB I know exactly how you feel - my heart sinks every time my DS says he's going into town with his mates. No matter how old he is, he'll always be your little boy. Jo - I'll deffo join you on a MAD Saturday night. Had a couple of glasses of wine last night - the bells were clanging and I gave in. Oh well, I won't beat myself up about it cos I'm doing great compared to how I was before. Shaggy, my score is now 5 including tonight cos I'm on the diet coke. Have a good evening everyone xx

    Full up of fizzy pop and waiting for some room for some pud or a Creme Egg and a cuppa in a bit!

    Hope everyone else is MAD for it too tonight!

    I'm MAD, hands just defrosted and just had my sausage, chips and beans. Waiting for kids to finish their milk so I can put them to bed :D

    Evening all

    Not AF for me tonight I'm afraid - but only had the one so not too bad - back to being AF tommorow!

    Realised how terribly I sleep when I drink - had some last night and had the worst nights sleep ever - it just isn't worth it and for me I think the more I keep off it the better I feel. So onwards and upwards tommorow for me.

    DB - you just made me smile with that comment - you're right - it is lovely and I am dreading them getting older and with it all the attendant problems!!

    I x
    Target for MAD - 24:)
