    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.
  • Afternoon all

    How are we all today?

    Maman - glad ankle is on the mend

    Bear77 - sounds like you've had a lovely time:T

    Had hair cut this morning so feeling less yeti-ish this afternoon :D OH just fixing exhaust on car and then he's off to his Mum and Dads to visit and taking Piglet with him. I get to stay at home :T:rotfl:so feel a knitting session coming on.:D

    Hope everyone is having good Saturdays.

  • I'm going to take a break from doing the weekly challenges for a while as I've a lot on with work and real life (nothing bad just mega busy). So if anyone would like to take over for a while ....

    I'll still be fitting in as many AF days as possible though :)
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x

    Very tempted today. We went to have a lunch in a pub and I so wanted to have a cider with the food. But I was so grumpy already so I didn't dare to have any incase it had made me even meaner.

    So it is 12 please Shaggy.

    Well done on the weightloss scotdebs:T

    Marru - very sensible about the cider. I know alcohol makes me horrible if I'm even in a slight bad mood.

    Fun night in Piggy house! Decided to cut Piglets hair tonight. We use clippers as its quicker, as he's such a baby about it. Tonight he started having a fit about having hair on his face, and somehow managed to shove his finger up his nose and start a nosebleed!!! So theres me frantically trying to speed-clip his half cut hair while OH mopped up blood! Like something out of a horror show - just call me The Barber of Swindon!!:rotfl:

    About to relax now with some knitting, a cup of coffee and the seconf half of Ironman 2 :D

    Sounds a bit manic in your house tonight MissP:rotfl:

    Thanks so much Pen for all the weekly challenges, they have helped me and so many others. Hope RL calms down for you soon. Don't be a stranger.

    I've been AF tonight which for me on a Saturday is amazing. Struggled to convince myself earlier in the day but once decision made, I was fine with it. I had a heavyish night last night so wanted to balance off the units (and calories;)).

    8AF for February, please Shaggy.
  • Manic doesn't even begin to cover it Maman!:rotfl:Luckily he went to bed and was asleep within 5 minutes! And well done on staying AF on a saturday night. :T
