    DB, sorry to hear about your DS. I think it's pretty par for the course with young people. Did you manage to get the Hawaiian shirt? If not, I'm sure I saw some in Matalan last week.

    Thanks for volunteering for August. Would you put me down on your list as 10 please.

    Done! Thanks Maman, I found a Hawaiian lei flowery garland for £1 so that will have to do!

    Morning everyone,

    Tomorrow sees the the start of a shiney new month so I am in training today. Have not been totally AF for a few days but have cut down quite a bit.

    I saw this somewhere ''don't put a wishbone where your backbone should be'' -- suits me to a T. So must resolve to be positive for the August challenge.

    Hope you all have a good weekend.

    Morning All :hello:


    I wasn't AF last night. I had 2 glasse of wine (3/4 units).

    I'm off on my holidays today, so I'll be back in about 2 weeks(ish).

    Take Care Everyone.

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Feeling the benefit today as was up early and getting things done.

    randomname, isn't it the 1st today? I haven't got a calendar here. *confused*

    Shaggy, prob missed you, hope you have an amazing time and going somewhere lovely! We will miss your cheery posts :D

    Noy, sounds like you have a full day, hope you get some bargains!

    I am well and truly f.e.c.k.ed off, got up this morning and our digital TV, internet and phone line has gone off because we have hit our credit limit.....somebody must of been making a lot of phone calls or pay-for TV :think:. Anyway, I've just rung them up and paid the bill but it takes up to 24 hours to come back on :( I had such big plans for budget spreadsheeting today which is on internet, plus banking and continuing with phase one of getting out of the ghetto :mad: pah

    Anyway, could someone please tell me the date today?

    Excuse any typos, on phone and can't be bothered to spell check....

  • NRA - sounds like you have a great day planned.

    Having just checked my email , I'm hopping mad :mad:

    I was due to fly to Glasgow next Sunday, just for 2 days to visit my Dad and Easyjet have emailed to say my flight is cancelled!!

    A complete pain and means I have to take extra time of work and go on a different day if I go at all!

    Rant over!
