    Good to hear lots of cheerfulness and positivity on here tonight. Welcome back daisyc. Onwards and upwards!

    I'm Af tonight so that makes 12 AF for February please Shaggy.

    I'm off to Paris in the morning for 4 days. I don't anticipate being AF but it will be sensible drinking with meals and perhaps the odd Kir as an aperitif, nothing too excessive. Eating might be different....

    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.

    Morning everyone
    Been up for ages as my wee sis and her family who live in Christchurch was caught up in the earthquake today. Thankfully they are all okay although their house isnt. Thoughts and prayers with those who have loved ones who arent so lucky.
    Heading off to work soon hope you all have a nice day

  • Morning All,

    Managed to read back a bit and very impressed with all your AFness and weight shifting.

    Marru-Great news on your results and hope you are on the mend.
    Mackeroo-17.5lbs Wow!!! and in such a short space of time.:T:T:TAs for the trainers, I had achilles problems for about 18 months and my physio was convinced it was the trainers...no problems since I invested in a decent pair:)

    DaisyC-Welcome back....it must have been lovely flying back down to land through the murky grey clouds.....get the fake tan out quick before the real thing fades:rotfl:

    "Bon Voyage Maman...a bientot"

    Miss P-Your comment about "not nicking the wine" did make me laugh...well done on resisting, that would have made great fodder for the gossiping mothers at the school gate.

    Hi to Pen, Jo and all other absent posters...hope you're ok.

    Happy Tuesday all

    Thats good news your sister and family are ok Mackeroo. They must be going through hell at the moment. And you too, having to see it all unfolding on tv. Lots of :grouphug:

    Just rang my Mum myself as I have family in NZ too. Apparently they are on the North Island though.
