  • Hi again.

    :wave: to BHB, Miss P and Glasgow Girl. Welcome back.


    Not doing too well here. Wasn't AF last night and found thinking of the challenge put even more pressure on me so I think I'll drop out of it.

    Really not at my best at the moment and quite down about all sorts of things.

    Hope everyone feels better than I do :)

    Hello everyone, hope you're all having a nice evening.
    DB - can you add me to your list please - I should be at 6/26 including today. Thanks.
    Sparkles - happy to report that I'm AF tonight.
    Had to miss my yoga class tonight cos I've been coughing my head off all day and would have ruined the quiet visualisation part of the class for everyone else!
    Bye for now xx

    Evening folks,

    Not going to be AF today, had a bit of a stressful day and some stress on the homefront as well so I've cooked myself a nice meal and bought myself a 25cl bottle of wine to help me wind down a bit.

    I could have resisted the urge and I know it's a bit pants to break just for the sake of what amounts to a large glass of wine but I'm just not feeling it today at all.

    Going to watch Luther on BBC1(Gordon Brown's final curtain permitting!) and then read my book and listen to some new records I bought at the weekend.

    hope everyone else is doing well.
    jusqu'ici tout va bien

    God she's scary :eek::eek:.....OK let's get this over with (erm, DB, you & me both) - Sparkles you couldn't be any more p!!!st off than I am but pls surreptitiously (she said, posting on an open forum...) remove me from the challenge list - I could've posted this last night but I was too worried to cos you were so fed up last time when people didn't "rise to the challenge". I think it was Graeme (sorry GC if it wasn't) who said, he wanted to be af for a few days, was sure he would be, but then......

    It's the nature of the beast. Sparkles don't be cheesed off - I haven't binged - it was you kept me on the moderation path, thanks. I think the feedback you had last time told you how valued your cahllenges are, & the majority of players are doing great, thanks to you.

    Now I sound patronising, hope you know I'm not x

    Well, being flippant (as ever) I would cheer up immensely if the BBC got Gord & David off the screen & I could watch Enders & Hobly (sic) City, but seriously DB, sorry you're fed up, a few people on here lately are a bit up & down, I really hope things look up for you v soon. Anything we can help with?
