Morning all
15 for me please Shaggy
Think I'll be racking up a few more AF days in the next week or so. I've come down with the flu
. Yesterday I was out of it for most of the day, high temperature, shivers etc. Today feeling only slightly better.:(. Ears completely blocked, aching, streaming nose. Not a happy bunny.
Got so much to do this week, I could really do without this.:( Still, Piglets birthday tomorrow so that should perk me up a bit

I've still not managed to get there, but Mrs BHB has just managed 28 AF days in a row. She has lost 3/4 stone and is looking great

Sorry to hear about your 'flu MissP, do take care. You don't want to be ill over Christmas. Good way of staying AF though when you don't even feel like it:)0

:hello:Hello BHB!
Maman - yes, its good news on the AF front. Just the thought of wine is making me feel very _pale_
Forced myself into shower and washed hair. Feeling bit brighter but very knackered. And OH said he won't be finishing till late tonight
Piglet being a very good boy though.
