    Evening folks, bells are ringing a bit here, will stay AF for now and chase them away.

    Sim, I took citalopram a couple of years ago for post natal depression and they were very effective with very few side effects, After 18 months I was OK and came off them very easily too.

    Shaggy I think I'm on 5 now please, but lost track a bit, so could be 6. Well, what's a day lost between friends...

    Miss P, you'll soon get used to piglet being in school and he'll have such a lovely time. to be honest my favourite day of the year is the first day of the new school year (although I have 3 kids and after 8 week's summer holidays they're usually climbing the walls and ready to go back).
    Trying to keep in budget.

    Am currently going through a rough patch with a bottle of beer...

    However, have chalked up 3 days so not going to be too worried. Also bought some of the yummy lemonade so, although I have a few non-AF days in mind, I'm all set up for being AF too* :)


    *hope that makes sense! :rotfl:
