Hope you're feeling a bit better Maman. Lots of bugs around at the moment. OH said he didn't want a party or anything so we are just having a family gathering at home. I'm going to do big pots of curry, chilli and rice and a few nibbles. Me and Mum are making him a cake in the shape of a racing car (he's such a big child, he'll love it:D)

Pen - please could you put me down for the full Mon-Thu? Thank you!

Piglet had a good day at school. Said he didn't get to spend much time with the boy we're having problems with, so I'm quite pleased by that.

Thanks for good wishes MissP. Party sounds good. I went to one recently where they used slow cookers to keep curry/chilli warm, thought it was a great idea. Sooo glad that piglet had a good day.

Think I may have been over-estimating on saying 15 for the month.

Me too!

I've had an AF tonight so I'm on 9 for November, but will have to stay AF every day apart from 2 (Friday and Saturday for me), and I honestly don't think I'll do that. I'm not even sure if I really want to either as it's nice to have a glass of wine once DS is tucked up in bed. On most of the non-AF days this month I have had just one glass, or maybe two, which is a real improvement for me.

I hadn't had 9 AF days in the previous 6 months, and probably even the last year, so I think perhaps I was being a bit too ambitious.

Morning all,

1 for the challenge thanks Pen.

21 for the month thanks Shaggy.

Feel like crap today, think I got a bug, can't even face the coffee I've made.

Morning :hello:

I was AF last night and I had the most amazing sleep. I had the most greatest dream in which I kissed the amazing Matthew Fox from Lost
:rotfl:

Ok, back to reality. I'm of to update the chart.

FWIW recommended government guidelines are 14 units a week for woman and 21 units for a man and 2 AFDs, just to give you some idea if you're headed in the right diection. Well Done on the 9 AFDs :j

Morning all

I'm feeling pants today too:( Must be an MSE bug going round :rotfl:. Keeping Piglet off school too. He's got a streaming cold and a real chesty cough.

Mind you JO, not fancying coffee!!!? I'm not quite that bad. Am on my second cup

How are you feeling today Maman, you were feeling yucky yesterday?

Well I hope all poorly ones stay in the warm and dosed up today. Piglet is under his duvet on the sofa. Its alright being a kid isn't it

9 for me please Shaggy!
1 please Pen!

Aaagh - I know what you mean about liking a glass of wine once sproglets are in bed. Its nice to just sit and unwind. If I don't do my 15 days I'm not going to worry too much. Like you say, you've done 9 AF days...which is brilliant!
