  • Countdown to Christmas 100 day AF challenge
    DAY 4

    FUAS ?

    4 please 40sm - all days achieved so far :D

    As for me I have had the most awful flu/cold/infection type thing for the last 8 days and shows no sign of shifting

    Off work for now and part of next week I guess and try and get in to the Drs too

    Sorry about not being able to meet up with you as I'm in uni the next day early start too so can't get back from London in time back up here and then up to uni and then to work - nice :eek:

    Hope you're all ok and sound quite happy and jolly. I'm fed up cos I'm wiped out with this thing and really missing the running too - upto 6k now and wanted to keep going but looks like will have to have 2 weeks off - booo!

    Good evening,

    Sparkles - fully sympathise. I miss running but don't seem to be able to do it anymore without getting niggles. Aiming to get out there at least one morning this week. I hope you feel better soon.

    Budgie - lovely to "see" you - hugs

    We are back home and I am off now to do lice treatment for both of us :( DD managed to catch them nasties from school and passed them to me as well. I never have had them before - yuck!!!

    Declaring 18 please Shaggy

    Morning all :wave:

    Sorry HB didn't complete your challenge, a little disappointed with myself actually as I wanted to have at least 1 AF day before I went to work today now I've told somebody in RL, somebody that I have to see 5 days a week, it's harder to hide from it.

    Speak to you all later, gotta go get lunches made :)

  • Morning all,

    Looks like good progress being made by many. I'm too much of a coward to join the 100 day challenge but I am happy with the overall progress I've made so far.

    HB I completed your weekend challenge. Thanks for organising it.

    Shaggydoo 10for me please.

    Have a good week.

  • Good morning all!

    Sorry been MIA for few days. Been rather busy and just not getting pooter time.

    Piglet settling in well to school. Seems happy to go. Still on mornings only till next week. Don't know if he'll be so keen to go when its all day :rotfl:

    Had a nice weekend. Stepson was down for the weekend and we all went swimming yesterday which was fun. Piglet finally worked up the courage to go down the little slides into the water!:D He's a bit of a wuss...:rotfl:

    Anyhow...shaggy, I think thats 12 for me please

    Nice to see you back Budgie :)

    DAY 5

    Hi everybody

    :hello:

    Day 4 results in so far are :

    Fay 4/100 :xmassmile
    Gien 4/100:xmassmile
    40SM 4/100:xmassmile
    MOB 1/100:xmassmile ?
    FUAS 4/100
    365days 4/100 :xmassmile

    I am very very pleased with myself as weekends are the hardest for me . It was a bit of a struggle but I got there in the end.

    I am a bit teary this morning as DS1 has gone away on a residential trip until Friday:( . As many of you know he has had lots of problems over the last year due to his autistic spectrum thing. He only decided last week that he was brave enough to go but he was crying his eyes out this morning:(:(. This is also his first night away from home so it s doubly hard on him (and me!). I don't know how I am going to get through the week. I am so worried about him!

    Hope you all have a lovely day.

  • Lots of ((hugs)) 40sm. Hopefully he'll have a wonderful time!!

    If anyone else would like to come, please let me know ASAP :)


    Not able to attend unfortunately.
