Morning all

20 please Shaggy - and 5 please Pen!

How are we all today?

Maman - yes, unfortunately my figures are going up because I still feel pretty poorly Am completely deaf and just feeling generally out of it. Rang doctors today but they don't re-open till Wednesday so will try and get in then. So, I had a drink christmas day, but not a lot. And haven't drunk on any other day.

Am forcing myself outdoors today - want to try and get into John Lewis' home section. They had some...ahem..wine glasses reduced that I really loved

Hope everyone is having good times

What you going to use those for then????

I'm feeling a bit odd too. I'm not sure if I've got a chest infection or it's the result of decongestants (sorry if TMI). I think I'll have to take some paracetamol and keep going. Off to DD2s today, mixed feelings about it (long story, explain sometime). May offer to drive.

:santa2: I know it's a bit late in the day but this is for a number of absent friends (do show yourself if lurking).

Hi all,

Not been AF over Christmas but hoping to do a few more before the end of the year so put me down for 2 please Pen.

I hope your visit goes ok today Maman and that you start to feel better soon Miss P. You are brave to face the sales feeling like that.

Have a good day everyone

Morning all, I managed to keep things in moderation over the weekend which is a great improvement on previous years
Miss P and Maman hope you start to feel better soon.

Well I survived the John Lewis Sale!!!:D

Got the glasses I wanted so I'm a happy bunny now. Think it did me good to go out and get a little bit of fresh air too. Been stuck in for two days.

Maman - decongestants can make you feel a bit odd. Maybe its them? I don't like taking them if I can help it, but got to do something about my damned ears. Hope you are feeling a bit better soon.

Jo - last ever visit to the out-laws!? You lucky thing!!!:T:T The visit from mine was mercifully brief and seemed easier than normal (maybe something to do with me being completely deaf at the moment!:D)

fedupandskint

I'm still full of cold after 2 weeks and I'm fedup to the back teeth of it, would be nice to get back out running but I'm too bunged up and chesty for this now

What else no more AFDs to report but I have been at lowish level drinking

Christmas Eve - 1 rum and coke
Christmas Day - 1 G&T, 2 glasses of wine
Boxing Day - 1/2 glass of rum and ginger beer , then threw the rest away as was giving me indigestion

Might not get many more in this week - will see

maman

Am feeling much better, hope it lasts. Hope you and sparkles perk up soon MissP.

Lunch at DD2's was much better than I expected (not the food, that's always good). I think I worry too much in advance, mainly about other people.

I did offer to drive so OH was a happy bunny. However, home now and glass of wine in hand:o

I will get some more AF days in before 2011, I will, I will....

:hello:

I think I might join you folks if you can handle one more

I've read thru quite a few pages of this thread and you seem like a friendly bunch so thought I would take the plunge and say hi.

I have cut down to drinking every other day rather than daily.... which is good... BUT I drink quite a lot on those days

I didn't drink yesterday so would usually have opened wine by now... but I haven't...yet. I am ashamed to admit that I am struggling a little

Hi Frugal. Don't worry, any night AF is a struggle for me, especially when I'm not working.

Tonight I am making a list of who sent us Christmas cards (never bothered before) and updating next years calender with birthdays etc.... just to keep me occupied.

If I can get to 8.30 / 9 ish like this, I know I will be AF.
