    Morning all

    Up early today after my early night last night!:) Saw OH off to work at 6am which usually NEVER happens.

    Piglet still asleep but once he's awake we will be off to SIL's for last ever Mrs Mop morning!:T. Just want to get today done and dusted and then I can look forward to going away for a couple of nights.

    Day 4 done for me please Jo - challenge done!

    DB - sorry to hear you are feeling low. Have a dodgy :grouphug:

    NRA - enjoy your time at the coast

    Miss P
    xx

    Dunno if I've got all the scores correct, I slept in till 7am instead of 6am (cos it was dark when 6am turned up :D) and so have to do everything in half the time! In fact still gotta make my lunch and get dressed and be sat at my desk in 23 minutes :eek: Be back later x

    Could you all please update me with your AFDs, I don't want to presume!!

    Morning All under%20umbrella.gif&t=1

    Sorry I have been AWOL, I've been really busy in RL and have not been very good on the AF front. Still I was AF yesterday and am now on 8 AFDs. I think I only made 24 hours of your challenge JO:o

    Anyhoo, I'm going to try for an AF weekend and an AF rest-of-the-month.

    I'd really like to be mostly AF between now and the end of November. I know I really struggled to be AF last December so if I'm really good over the next few months I can relax a little about a little indulgence in December.

    There - I've put it down in black and white - now I'll just have to try and be good.

    Shaggy

    So that's my goal - to be pretty angelic over the next few months :A
    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.
  • Oh I am just hopeless, caved in again last night and had yet more wine :o I dunno what it is that just makes me want it? had done loads of useful things - got blackberry wine on the go (not a good idea really!) and made cucumber and apple chutney plus sorted loads of washing then just decided to have a small one! I have seriously failed this challenge!!

    Sad day here as was Piglets last day at nursery. He came home with his folder of his progress through the last few years. Was lovely to read as had photos on of him plus progress reports which show he's gone from a shy, retiring, non communicative (he had speech issues) toddler to an outgoing, friendly, active, vocal (tell me about it!!:rotfl:) young boy. Made me cry. In a good way.:o

    I'm in the same boat as you Shoppy :(

    Wished I didn't get that extra hours sleep now, I feel exhausted - haven't had my 2 hours preparation for work!

    I REALLY need to get my head down today and clear the desk ready for Tuesday so that I can have an easy couple of days before the staff come back on Thursday, REALLY, REALLY need to :naughty:
