    Morning everyone! Snow is coming:D I love snow (until it starts melting). Doesn't go well with driving though but it brings out the kid in me:p

    Well, just a quickie - I'm a bit late.

    Anyway, 1AF more for me please Shaggy, that's 3/4 for Nov - one more day...

    I hope maman, FH and all you other poorly people are feeling better today.

    Have a good day.:)
    Smoke-free since Jan 2012 :j Now its just the drink, and the weight, and life in general :p

  • Morning all

    11 please Shaggy
    3 please Pen

    Well, Piglets gone to school today. I don't feel I've done the right thing by sending him though. His teachers off today so I spoke to the Teaching Assistant and said he's still bit under the weather and please call me if he's poorly and she said "you Do know its sports day today??". Sports day!? Are they mental!? Its about -3 out there and they are getting these little dots running round outside for and hour and a half. Whoever heard of a sports day in bl**dy November!? All us parents honestly thought they'd cancel it, but they haven't.

    So I'm fully prepared for a phonecall to go and get him.

    Well, hopefully I'm still on track for my 15 days. I'm feeling full of cold myself so don't even fancy a drink, which is good. I have my in-laws over on Sunday for OH's birthday though, so that will most likely not be an AF day :(

    I used it as an excuse to switch to brandy or whisky.

    Get well soon!
