Hi all, Happy Good Friday
I've had two AF Days since I was last here please Shaggy, going out tonight though so that won't be AF but planning on spending most of it dancing to heavy rock music so no chance to drink too much
Please don't feel you have to go 115K - as others have said, they (and me) have had days where they haven't be AF. This thread is really supportive and no one is going to condemn you ((hugs))
Hope everyone has a lovely Easter weekend :cool:

1 AFD for me please WBF.
ShaggyWhat do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.0 -
Morning all
How are we all today?
115k - if you feel you need to take a break from the thread then please do. Just remember we are all here for you. You NEVER annoy us!
I'm feeling a bit...Grrrr!:mad: In law issues again but trying not to let them get to me!
Todays plans..drop kids at in-laws this afternoon so they can be taken to cinema, bowling, KFC etc. Piglet, me and OH are going to local play area and then picnic tea at home. Money is very tight so activities have to be free/cheap! Going to a little egg hunt later for Piglet - I have great fun hiding mini eggs round the house...which is fine until you locate a "lost" one growing fur 6 months later!!:rotfl::rotfl: Also going to sit with him and make home-made easter cards for everyone. Should be nice messy fun!:D
Hope you all have nice plans!

I feel like I am being annoying to people that are really trying to give up on here. You are all kind people who have helped me a lot but I think I need a break from here for a while. I feel like a fraud at the moment.
I really hope you all do very well in the future.:A Good luck. I will be back on here I'm sure, I just need a bit of time hopefully.
You're not annoying me eitherCome back soon

Miss P I know meeting my mother
- its part of my 'try to reconnect with the lady who is my biological mother' - hard as she's not interested - but I've no dad and no grandparents - so somehow or other I am trying to make her be a bit 'motherly'
Can't say its working but I get a gold star for trying.
In-laws - I've told you countless times - lick the teaspoon before you stir her tea - not as good as spitting in it - more ladylike. Drop her biscuits on the floor then give her them - etc - just keep a quiet seething decorum - you are the bigger person.
Enjoy the time with piglet pantsfar more important.

You never know, you're Mum might actually secretly be enjoying your attempts at getting her to be motherly??
:rotfl::rotfl:At the teaspoon and the biscuits....may just resort to spitting in her tea though.... I never said I was a lady!!!
