    Morning everyone! Ooh I'm the first one on today. Reporting in with a new total of 6 HUFFS please WBF and another day on the 96 hour challenge, Sparkles. Hiya Marru - what great inspiration - I too would love a body like hers (though not sure it's possible at my age but hey ho - I can have a jolly good try). Off to compile my list of jobs for the day - Sparkles, this really works for me - thanks for the idea. Have a great day everyone xx

  • Morning
    Climbing aboard the wagon for the rest of the month today. Had family celebration last night and had a few. Had a cringe moment on waking. I don't like the person I become with alcohol.

    Am looking forward to being in a HUFF.

    Great poem Mookie. TY.

    GC, I lalways find it an inspiration when you remind me I can make the choice to start now.

    MollyPolly, awesome as ever.

    Marru and FUAS, I have an Easter paunch. Well can blame it on Easter but fact is I've not been very good at all recently. Need to stop grazing. I'm not big on breakfast and I tend to pick all morning, biscuits, chocolates and stuff at work.

    Now I'm AF for April I will dust the Wii Fit off.

    So no more of Jo's puddings either....

    Morning everyone

    I would imagine YM and Lurky will be having palpitations after seeing Marrus's post!!:rotfl::rotfl:

    Marru - you go girl. You can do it!

    PBT - Lucky old you having a visitor from an attractive DIY man! Send him over here when you're finished with him!!:rotfl:

    Well, Piglet slept till about 4.30, but I could hear him coughing in the night. When he got up at 4.30 he was really wheezy so had to bring out the ventolin inhaler and spacer. He used to HATE it as it covers your mouth and nose. Last night though managed to get him to used it by drawing silly faces on the inhalers with marker pens. I always feel guilty about him having asthma and excema as I know he inherited it from me:(. Luckily though, at the moment his asthma only starts when he has a cold/bug.

    6 for me please WBF! And I've lost track of how far we are into the 96 hour challenge...but I'm still AF!

    Anyone watching Masterchef??? Final tonight!!

    Ohhhh, Happy Birthday Jo, have a really super day - are you planning anything special?

    And MP you are an inspiration, really, your decision to stop and sticking with it is really impressive.

    I greatly like the poem Mookie put up. There are so many little aspects of my behaviour I would like to change but feel weighted down by the years of ingrained habit/lethargy/lassitude. Thinking that you can change the next hour is really quite empowering.

    or am I just gibbering on.

    Yellow Monkey, thanks you for making me chuckle first thing.

    Was not AF last night :( and as a consequence feel a little bit delicate today. Bloody alcohol. Hate it really.

    HAve a good day - I'm out in the garden today - mowing and clipping.
    Trying to keep in budget.

    What 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.
