    Have just read through the last couple of days...what a chatty lot!!

    Hope you are feeling better today HB :grouphug:

    Jo glad you had a great night out (and a moderate one drinky wise)

    Sparkles I am going to try that ham recipe, sounds scrummy :drool:

    We went to a barbecue at my sil's yesterday as a sort of 'goodbye' thing, it was nice but there were a few tears (sil was really upset) and I don't really do stuff like that! anyway was really pleased with myself drink wise, had a bottle of lager with my food, then a cup of tea, then a glass of champagne and later there was a bottle of good red open so I had a glass of that so not af but considering last time I was at their house I consumed about a bottle and a half of wine in far less time and came home and threw up then spent the next day in bed I think I did quite well :(

    Fay...does this moving lark get any easier? another day another load going down south with dh, ds is going with him and staying down there now so mil is liable to be blubbing this morning!!

    Right off to get a cuppa then start on my kitchen cupboards, people were telling me yesterday to chuck out all the food and clean the cupboards but I don't think I could bear to throw away good food!!

    Hope everyone has a good day, am planning on an af day today so will report back later...

    Good morning everyone
    Well, I totally lost it over the weekend and feel very ashamed of myself. Still, its a brand new week and a fresh start. I will not drink today for one very good reason. My wife is having a cataract removed today and I will take her to the hospital later and will need to pick her up this evening. I will also need to be responsible for her over the next few days. Not the best of motives but I will get a start in accumulating AF days.
    Well done to everyone who are meeting their personal targets.
    Will report back tomorrow.

    Hope all goes well at the hospital. Anythng that helps AFness is to be utilised. Best wishes to you and Mrs Randomname.:)
  • Morning all,

    Good luck with the moving 69chick. No - I don't think it ever gets easier!

    Hugs to HB ((())). Hope things get better.

    Hope you are all ok this Monday morning.

    I'm declaring today AF. I know it is early but I'll meet my target if I do it so 10 for me please Sparkles.

    Sitting in jammies as I have the week off work. About to plan all the things I need to do.

    Jo - why are you off to work? Don't you get school holidays?
