    Very quiet on here today! Hope everyone is having good Saturdays. MrsR - you still with us??:)

    Weathers been nice, albeit a bit chilly, here today. Went for a 40 minute walk this morning as OH had car and couldn't get to the gym or pool. Then its been a moochy day, we all just vegged out a bit, read books etc. Me and Munchkin had a nice little nap this afternoon too:D but guess that means he'll be up late!:eek:

    Bells ringing a bit. Have a bottle in the fridge so may have a glass with dinner. Not sure if I'll have any more than that. Will wait and see.

    Maman - I wouldn't worry about the weekends, thats YOUR time that you plan to have a drink. I'll admit to finding staying AF in the week very hard myself so am in awe of you doing it!:T

    So, so sad.

    18 please, Shaggy.

    Nothing to drink tonight and collecting DD2 in car at midnight - wow, I've impressed myself :T Been catching up with work though, so it has been quite easy so far.

    DD2 going to France on Monday to au pair for a French family for a couple of weeks, and DD3 going to Thailand, travelling around with friends :eek::eek: Roll on September when everybody is back :cool:
    Another reason to be AF this weekend (well, not quite, I had a few glasses of white wine last night ;)) - I need a very clear head to help them to get ready :)

    Just back from A&E where I spent 2 hours with DS13 who fell off a trampoline today. Luckily nothing broken but he's got a badly bruised arm. Great start to the summer holidays...not. He wanted a coke afterwards so we called into the club on the way home. I thought about having a drink, but the music was so loud I just had a can of sprite and brought it home. Puts me on 11 please Shaggy.

    Morning All!!

    And well done to everyone for doing so well with the AFness during this nice weather. I'll be honest, when the sun is out I have been missing the Fruit Cider, or the Martini and Pomegrante. Just 1 would be nice, with ice and a straw!!

    Anyway, still here. Not even a twinge. Going for a walk in a minute then spending the afternoon bouncing on my exercise ball. Apparently it encourages things along! Lol.
    Everything is ready, just waiting now.........

    Good luck MrsR, safe bouncing and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you next week while I'm away from a 'puter.

    I was by no means AF Fri or Sat and today won't be either! :p Back on the AF wagon next week; I'd like to add 3 or 4 more nights by by Friday, depending on if I drink at a work thing on Tuesday.

    Hope you all have a good week.
