    Morning :hello:

    1 more AFD for me please Bearacus.

    Can I make a second AF Friday in a row? I might. I'm being motivated by money at the moment - trying to save for xmas and booze seems so expensive!

    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.

    Good morning all!

    Gien - yes the effect of kids can work both wells with regards to AF'ness! Luckily Piglet has been really good the last few days. I'm sure kids can sense things sometimes.

    Heath - have pm'd you

    Maman - :rotfl::rotfl:at the idea of Piglet bald.

    Mackeroo - Annoying at having to buy new clothes, but what a lovely problem to have :)! Funny about your shoe size though!

    Last night was ok. Luckily had parents evening at 6pm so that took care of my danger time as no way in hell would I have a drink before seeing a teacher!!:eek: Piglets doing really well at school. She says his reading is really fluent and she's impressed with his maths. So I'm a proud mummy :) Just got to work on his writing (he's not too keen on putting spaces between words!!:D)

    Today I should be ok till about 6pm. Piglet has a little friend coming to play 4-6 so that will keep me busy. After that will be danger time. Think I will need to have a plan of action in place.:o

    Have good fridays all!

    Miss P

  • 8 AFDS for me please shaggy. Not a great increase as have only been af one day this week. Last night i went to the pub and had a large and a small glass of wine and then came home and had half a bottle of wine-feel awful today, hungover, bloated and had a really bad night sleeps-it wasn't worth it. I need to try harder to stay af during the week so will put myself down for 3 for the SNC next week as all my good habits have gone awry. Good luck miss p in your decision. I wish I could be as brave. I need to get back in control again.
