    Morning all happy-smiley-582.gif

    Thank you to YM for keeping us safe last night, it never occurred to me Lurky bout burglers shocked-smiley-9456.gif must remember to never leave any of my valuables in here!

    Miss P, I hope you enjoy your day not-tagged-smiley-10844.gif

    YM, hope you get to sleep past 11.30am today and no more Argos shopping trips :naughty:

    Congrats to all that achieved the first of four AF days yesterday angel-smiley-5110.gif I must admit it was a bit of a struggle for me as I was cooking summat yummy and cooking summat yummy = wanting beer (eat-drink-smiley-5146.gif = eat-drink-smiley-5160.gif) so this evening I have decided to cook early so I can keep out of the kitchen during the bells time angel-smiley-5104.gif

    Other goals today are mainly what I didn't achieve from yesterdays set of goals, I only managed the trek in the forest and farm yesterday, all manner of meal planning and cleaning didn't happen. So today is about cleaning and meal planning not-tagged-smiley-10555.gifperson-smiley-9822.gifperson-smiley-9825.gif

    The kids however are driving me mad this morning not-tagged-smiley-10782.gif, they want to go back to the forest where we went yesterday and buy a kite not-tagged-smiley-10847.gifand play with their bubbles not-tagged-smiley-10790.gifand ride their bikes not-tagged-smiley-10785.gif. This doesn't make the house very clean!

    So it looks as though I am going to have to put ear plugs in and ignore them for this morning at least.

    Really must go and do summat.......:whistle:

    ETA: I wonder how many smilies it would take to crash the server?? :D

  • Evening All,
    A question for the giver uppers. Did you find a lot of your old 'friends' fell by the wayside? I am finding that now the alcohol blinkers are off I am seeing some people in a new and not necesarily flattering light. (I'm sure it's a mutual thing!)Any tips for this?

    I spend more time with family/relatives now plus I fill up my time with reading/TV/crosswords/gym/cooking/DIY. I ditched all my drinking 'friends' when I gave up which sounds a bit cold hearted but it was a good move for me.
