    Morning all!

    4 for me please Shaggy! And I'm loving the picture for today!:T

    Day sat in waiting today as man coming to replace windscreen between 11-4. Then off for a Toby tonight as its mine and OH's anniversary tomorrow. Not the most salubrious or romantic of places for an anniversary dinner but as StepD is comig too I don't suppose it matters!:o

    Happy Anniversary for tomorrow MissP:) and remember to syn the poatatoes, gravy and any horseradish you have!;)

    No improvement on my measly 1AF. I had a rare 's*d it' day on Thursday. Plan was to stop at a single glass but I didn't.:o Balanced things out a bit yesterday but it'll be Monday before I jump back on properly.

    2AFD for me please Shaggy.

    DS's birthday party was a success, he said it was 'brilliant', but when it was finished I had a headache from all the noise and wanted to go home to a beer. Got home, cooked tea for me and DH then got a beer out of the fridge. I sat with it unopened for a while, then decided I wasn't in the mood for it after all, put it back in the fridge and made myself a nice cuppa :T

    Morning all!

    Well, didn't stay AF last night. Had one glass at Toby and then came home and had three. But spaced over course of evening from 5pm so I don't feel too bad about that. Plus, had a lovely evening. :)

    Wedding Anniversary today - 7 years!:T

    Congratulations Miss Piggy.
    Well done rachelww1.

    Well I watched a film and had glass or 2 of wine, then a large glass of water before bed! So no alcohol now until Friday. Well that's the theory.

    Good luck all.
  • Hi all

    Well still only on 3 AFDs, but not doing toooo bad on the units. Mr SOS being a pain at the moment - he goes through these phases, picking on everything I say, trying to make me argue with him. :eek::eek:We discuss divorce, then I end up not doing anything about it because I just don't want to upset the status quo :mad:

    Really not looking forward to when the DDs have all left home and I'm stuck with this m*ron.

    Anyway, it's sunny today :j

    I have some work to do then I'll have a chat with my two DDs still at home and perhaps go for a run :)

  • Good morning everyone,

    Congratulations Miss Piggy :D

    And well done rachelww1!

    5 AFDs for me now Shaggy. I've finished the antibiotics, so now I have to rely on myself. That shouldn't be too hard now, because yesterday I signed up for the Vegan Pledge, and got weighed - I've put on a scary amount of weight quickly, my waist circumference is apparently getting into dodgy territory, and my blood pressure is up. Quite a kick up the bum to look after myself!
