    Morning everyone. Happy new month! Ooh I love a shiny new fresh start. Yes please Sparkles, I'll join you in the 96 hour challenge - I'm drawing a line under March, had a hectic time with lots of trips away and celebrations and only achieved a third of my target. Hungover today - just been for a bracing dog walk to blow the cobwebs away. So new month, new start - won't set a target WBF but will post daily to keep me motivated and positive. Have a good day, everyone xx

    Right, it's time for a fresh start in April for all of us fools everywhere wanting to spring clean our bodies and cut down the booze in this shiny new month. I'm off to collect all your pledges over the last few pages - back sooooon.

    Quote of the day - "Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure." Oh I love that. That's cheered me up no end.

    Hello,

    I went and updated firefox and now it won't let me sign in to MSE :mad: so am using explorer now to get here.

    Anyway, off to north shortly (BF just text me to tell that they have snow in there) just need to clean piggies and pack first.

    Am aiming for 30 days in April but we are having Easter lunch so might have a glass of wine with my meal so won't commit myself to the Easter AF challenge.

    I might be able to catch up with you on BF's computer but I am taking my study stuff with me and I really need to put my head down and study as I am waaaay behind.

    Wishing you Happy Easter!!! :icotbaske

    Afternoon everyone!

    Been off and done my Mrs Mop job this morning so looking forward to a little sit down after Piglet goes to Nursery at 1pm!

    WBF - can I be a pain in the bum and change my figure to the full monty for April? Thank you!;)

    Read some of my book last night and will read more today. Finding it very interesting.

    Catch up later once Piglet safely ensconced at nursery!

    Miss P
    xx

    Happy Easter to you too Marru! Should I put you down for 29 or leave you off the April Fools list until you get back down sarf?

    Wish I'd heard that. Normally listen to Jeremy Vine but was driving Piglet to nursery and he insists on listening to nursery rhymes!!:rotfl:
