  • Morning all.

    Teenagers! There was a lot of confusion over where DS2 was going last night. The final story was to a party and staying with a mate. I was worrying about this last night and lying in bed this morning wondering if he was Ok and when should I ring him when I heard him get up and go to the loo! Got a taxi home at some point in the night. So much for me being a light sleeper! Didn't hear a thing.

    Sympathy to the non-sleepers. Often happens to me.

    Sim - 69Chick put it very well. A lot of those things missing from your life will fall into place as you keep off the booze.

    Morning all,

    Feeling dreadful here - went to bed early, slept like a log but woke up feeling terrible - got a sick stomach feeling and a bit of a temperature. DId manage to pop to the supermarket for milk but now I'm going to put on a wooly jumper and do the ironing whilst watching the TV.
    Trying to keep in budget.

    Sorry you are feeling poorly Gien.:(

    I am going to be AF today so that will be 2 days AF for me as I did drink yesterday.

    I'm about to slap some conditioner on my hair, pluck my eyebrows, do a face pack and so on. Looking in the mirror I think I need some TLC.:eek::rotfl:

    Morning all, exhausted!!

    I have a full day ahead, keeping busy for the 1st of 4 AF days
    Well done Jo! :j
    Good luck for the rest of today

    As for me I have dug up another shrub out of the garden and planted a fruit tree and cleared a lot of ivy, moved the pop up greenhouse, chucked away the broken cover and washed the frame

    Hoovered the car out, wiped the inside of the car and the windows

    Had a leftover salad for lunch then just waiting for some beetroot to finish boiling for salads (whoopsied to 39p instead of £1.50!)

    Just the ironing left for this afternoon and cleaning the living room and sort out work bags for tomorrow.

    Off to update the challenge list now
