    Excellent RA!

    As it happens, I've got a 12" of 'This Is The End' by The Doors from that soundtrack with the helicopter sound in the background, it's brilliant!

    And Martin Sheen was !!!!!! out of his mind during the This is the End sequence.

    Hi all, I've not been around for a bit (too much time consuming real life going on). But all is well on the AF front at least, in spite of some difficult times in other bits of life.
    Good to see some weel kent (Scottish words, fay will understand) faces still here, hope all is going well for you.

    When I'm back to a broadband connection, I will get to reading back the hundreds of pages I have only been dipping into occasionally.

    I'm celebrating (with a glass of OJ) my first AF anniversary today. Starting to think I could handle the odd glass of red, but probably not sensible to take the risk, after all it took me decades to get to the point of stopping:o.

    Evening all!

    Well done Changing Ways on your 1st anniversary!!

    Winebox - glad hair went ok...dreading having mine done tomorrow :eek:

    Been a nice day in Piggyshire. Did the cleaning at my brother and SIL's. Then, as OH had day off too, we carried on down to Devizes to a play area where Piglet worked off loads of energy (a whole other story is that I nearly broke my nose as I slipped whilst playing with him and planted my face on the floor...some little girl wandered up and asked me if I was alright...how embarrassing:o). Then we had a poke about the shops in devizes before meandering on home. Very pleasant.

    Its kids weekend and OH has just gone to pick them up from his Mums. His daughter is coming over for the 1st time since all this hoohah with OH's Mum so I'm hoping she's not off with me or I will probably lose my temper. I'm sure she'll be fine.

    Catch u all later...I'm off to enjoy my hours peace and quiet!

    Miss P
    xx

    It doesn't seem that I will be getting out of the house today. So that means no 14 please DB.

    I have sore throat :( not good as I am heading to London tomorrow for my running workshop. Better go to bed early tonight and get some decent rest. DD is right as rain - she could have gone to school but I didn't want to take her in case she was sent back home.
