    Ihope everyone up north are surviving - sounds dreadful. Here at Least it's stopped raining now.
    I'm alcohol free right now, but there's a bottle of white wine calling from the kitchen - I will resist!

    In the end everyone ejoyed the footie, apparently it was an excellent match and as my lot aren't Man U fans theywere happy for FCB to win!
    Trying to keep in budget.

    and an early Happy Birthday from me too mackeroo! I'm so glad you're able to post, must mean you still have power??? Weather's been a bit wild here (darn sarf) but positively calm and balmy compared with what news broadcasts say you're having. Enjoy tomorrow.

    Not AF here tonight (as planned), been out for a Christmas lunch and doing my usual 'Mastermind' drinking.;)
  • AF here tonight - just back from seeing my daughter in her primary school play......she was a beautiful snowflake !

    So 3 AFDs for Dec pls Shaggy and 2 for the SNC thanks bearacus

    Off to tackle the shops tomorrow........I will no doubt need a drink when I get back !

    Night all.........
  • Happy Birthday for tomorrow Mackeroo. Hope the storm wasn't too bad for you x

    AF here this evening and it's obviously contributing to my weightloss too. Lost 1.5lbs at SW tonight :T. Thirsty tonight though, but I've run out of lime squash, so I suppose a glass of water will have to do.

    4 for Dec please Shaggy and SNC completed Bearacus. Thanks for keeping track both of you x

    Not sure about tomorrow yet as DS has his school disco and a few of us parents usually go to the pub for an hour while they are there. Definately won't be on Sat though, as it's my fat clubs xmas dinner (and the consultant's not watching what we eat and drink :D)

    Off to have a bath to warm up. Thanks for the encouragement, early days but this is working, I definitely would have had a beer tonight without this. So that's 2 AFD and 2 for the SNC please.

    Thanks muchly
  • Wasn't af yesterday-shared a bottle of red with dh when I got in from late night Crimbo shopping after work. I put on my trainers and whizzed around. am af tonight though so 4 afds for me please shaggy. Loving the Christmas pudding outfit-so cute!-I think it would be great in an adult size for me for Christmas day evening when I keep shovelling food in! Glad you got through the storm ok mackeroo and happy birthday for tomorrow. I have a night out tomorrow night so won't be af but will be watching what I drink-don't want to be the drunken fool!
