I have a terrible wine habit thats ruining my health and my wallet. I can't remember the last time I had an AF day and I want it to stop, now.
So, today I am going to be AF. I'm in with the family now and have plenty of soft drinks about. (Lets hope there's something good on the telly). I'll try one day at a time and see how we go as a few have got to be better than none at all.
I just need to get past 9pm and then I know I can do it. Pen
Hi Pen :wave:
This place rocks
Sadly, i'm on a bit of a timeout for health reasons (how ironic! bad shoulder, limited laptop use) but also I am working crazy hours. Finished at 1am the other day, start at 4 tomorrow
Miss you guys & am definitely off kilter with the wine
Likely to be MIA for another few days at least. Any PM's gratefully received til I can catch up
bearhugs

Talking of spiders, and this does bother Budgie so.................. Does anyone remember the finger of fudge advert. Its the one with the little boy who goes down to the garden shed and says: "Today its Harry the Spiders coming out party". I mean no one I know remembers this. Does anyone here? Or has Budgie just dreamt it? (Confused).
