    PLEASE PUT YOUR TARGET AFDs IN A BOLD RED FONT and good luck!
    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    .... Welcome back Gien (and Lurky!) .....

    Should be ok for tonight, too. Not sure what is happening tomorrow and Saturday, as I will be elsewhere (MLC continues unabated ;)). I will report in tomorrow to (hopefully) complete pan's challenge, then will be on radio silence until Sunday or Monday

  • Hi all!

    1 more AFD for me please!:p

    Mackeroo - wooweee! Great weight loss. I am putting on the pounds at the moment as there is food galore at my parents and I'm loving it, LOL. Will have to start cutting down next week when I am back home again.

    Maman - I don't know if "mash-up" is a Northern term actually - good question! Anyone know on here? It basically means that my friend and I are going to large it and generally paint the town red and it might get messy, LOL........in the nicest possible way of course. I don't do falling over or fighting or puking in the street/taxi or anything like that, heaven forbid, LOL!!!! :beer: Not that I'm saying I haven't been there in my dark and distant past (but not fighting or puking in a taxi), but I will exercise some restraint on the drinking tomorrow, not least because Manchester city centre drink prices are so high its ridiculous and I don't have much money!!

    Off to get stuff done now. Have a super day everyone.

    Hugs,
    Caz

    I'm on 9 AFDs Shaggy. Leaving drinks at work tonight (not mine, sadly), haven't decided what to do yet. I do have my bike with me, so I oughtn't to drink, but feel like the devil is on my shoulder today. Must remember the H.A.L.T. drinking triggers (that's hungry.angry.lonely.tired for any newcomers) I'm definitely hungry and tired. And bored and frustrated. Not a great combo. Hopefully will perk up later.

    Evening all.

    I have to say I'm very impressed by the weight losses you've all been posting - well done. trying to do SW online here but it's not the same as going to a class.

    Didn't drink last night and went to bed early but have now got a nasty sinus infection (I felt it coming on yesterday). I've started taking antibiotics but I have to go out (good friend leaving) so will does myself up with some over the counter stuff as well.

    Just want to go to bed really but I'm sure I'll perk up a bit once out (you always do don't you)
    Trying to keep in budget.
