Thanks guys for all my lovely birthday wishes woke up to a splitting headache this morning, too much wine with my meal and it makes a difference that I havn't been drinking as much wasn't originally planning an af day today but I am going to give it a go...hot choc for me and ds when watching BGT tonight...I know its always easier to say when sitting here feeling wretched, but I do need to get my association with Saturday = drinking for the sake of it so tonights the night

Jo I would eat the pork as long as I cooked it really well so it was steaming hot etc. and as long as it tasted ok..

Congrats on your af ness in the pub, you are doing great hun x

Sim great idea rea paying off some debts, think thats probably your priority, have you tried freecycle for a bike?

What an amazing service! I bought and paid for bed online with Argos (through quidco , they rung me and said it would be here today, yesterday got a text to say it'll be here between 12-2, then the bloke rung at 5 past 12 to say he'll be 10 minutes. 12.20pm and it's been delivered and set up

Many happies for yesterday 69 chick!

Jo - I'm absolutely certain there's be nothing in the meal to make you ill, it just might not be quite as nice as if it hadn't been frozen, like hard cheese will go crumbly in the freezer & so forth.

Me can I get a half-star for yesterday? I stuck to one bottle of wine! I realise that for most of the female population this is rather a lot, but for me it's half-rations. For months & months (& months....) I've either been AF or totally blitzed (mostly the latter ) so to stop whilst I still want more is for me a greater achievement than being AF. The evening was only marred by a pretty grotty takeaway! OH & I seem OK again now, & he also was quite restrained with the wine last night.

Grotty weather here today - cold & wet & the forecast says getting worse over the next week . The sun is such a mood-lifter - I want it & I want it now!

Might be back later; not sure what I'm doing with my rest-of-day yet.

Have a good one!

Deprived you of the fun of putting it together yourself? Now what are you going to do all day?!

Hope you have a good day WB and very very well done on your cutting back, I understand completely what you were going on about, it's not easy at all :T:T:T

I am off to my mums in a minute as she has treated DD1 to a Disney Princess duvet set for her first new big bed, DD1 is beside herself with excitement, she's currenly jumping up and down on bed screaming 'thank you world!!!!!' (she is only 4).

I just heated a chilli nacho pizza up, trying to empty freezer, and it was amazing, kids think I'm trying to kill them cos the chillies are quite hot :undecided

Right, off for more coffee then better get a shufty on....

:wave:

Jo - great stuff via Argos!

As for me my bargainous garden set has just been delivered by Sainsbugs £39.99 for 4 chairs, table and parasol and £4.95 for next day delivery and arrived at 12.10pm today

Great service and looks nice in the box - no rush to set it up yet and I'll keep an eye out for a cheap parasol base as it's a bit windy round here.

Mood wise I feel a bit more positive today after feeling low this week and snappy. I think its because work is manic at the moment

I'm on my 7th Merry AFD and will be on number 8 tonight

She particularly loves her new pink headboard

Talking about barginous, just managed to pick up a ton of toys and stuff for the kids on freecycle.

Can you tell I'm getting excited about getting to my 7000th post, so must post frequently this afternoon :rotfl:

Oooh just 7 more to go and you're there!

Have you switched on the new forum version yet? I put it on yesterday and have got used to it now and like it - much cleaner and modern.

Its on the grabbit board I think
