Oh dear I'm failing miserably to make time to post on here! Whenever I'm online I'm shopping for Christmas, made a good start so far
But the AFness is still going well 16 please Shaggy and 2 for the challenge Pen thanks.
Off to DD3's school play now, we had to have dinner at 5:15 so she could get ready on time. It's Oliver so no doubt I'll be humming all the songs tomorrow!
Sorry to post and run again but hope everyone's doing well, good to see some smiley faces on Pen's challenge :T
Take care all x0 -
Well done Shaggy :j
AF tonight so 6 for me please.
I hope everyone who has been feeling poorly is getting better now.
Been struggling a lot when trying to be AF recently and giving in to the
bells which plague me every day. I'm impressed by how well so many of you are doing but in one way it is depressing cos I compare myself and I'm not!. I'm having counselling and that is going ok but it is still a constant struggle. I'm going to try a bit harder as I really want to get some AFness before Christmas.
Love to all

Evening everyone. Sorry I haven't posted since Monday morn (and that was to show off:o).
I can't beleive how much there was to catch up on, so here a brief summary of my feelings...
Hope all you poorly peeps and families are feeling a bit better by now....
Congratulations on jobs, weddings, AFness etc.. (sorry for being impersonal, by the time I've read the backlog, I'm forgettings whos doing what:o)
DB - you're doing well and the counselling will help loads:T. Definately keep comparing but don't feel bad - it will help your resolve (it's helping me - I can't remember 3 AF days but if I make tonight thats 3 in 8 days!). We're all here to help each other so keep going.
We'll dinner now and then The Apprentice (I find I feel so much better about myself after watched those fools:rotfl:)
I'll try and not leave it so long next time.
Have a good evening all.

Well, we've all been ill with bad colds this week. Kids have been feeling much better today but I still feel a bit fevered and all stuffed up.
Doesn't help that it's snowing outside now and I've absolutely GOT to get into town tomorrow. Think I've reserved the last Blue Nintendo DS on the planet. It's on the eldest boys santa list, so must get it! He didn't want a red, green, white or black one!!!:rotfl:
On a positive note, too ill to think about wine
That'll be 2 please Pen.
Will no doubt report 3 tomorrow, but don't want to be hasty!Need to start again0 -

You have my sympathy FH, bad cold here too. I think I'm mostly past feverish but still very stuffed up, sneezing and heavy eyed. I do hope we're both feeling brighter tomorrow.
Wine tonight would have been a complete waste of time and money as I can't really taste anything - so that's a bonus!:)
9AF please Shaggy and
3 for this week's challenge please Pen.
Hugs to everyone who's feeling poorly and :Tto everyone who's managed an AF day.
