Good afternoon all
Hugs to all those that need them, especially *mari* and Rachelww. Thinking of you both.
Bearacus - thankyou, my Mums feeling much better. The tablets the doctor gave her seemed to kick in quite quickly thankfully.
Have an afternoon to myself. Mum and Dad, as Mum was feeling much better, decided to take Piglet out today to a local Railway museum. Took the opportunity to give my living room the spring clean and tidy it so desperately needed!
Last night I poured myself a glass of wine, but really didn't fancy it and eventually got OH to pour it back in the bottle!!:eek: So thats 2 on the SNC please Bearacus and for February 12 please shaggy!!:T

ShaggyxWhat 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.0 -

Hello all
My figures are still the same as had a glas of wine last night. Poured myself a second, even though I knew I didn't really want it, and it subsequently got poured down the drain. Just goes to show that part of it is just pure plain habit!
Rachelww - hope your Mums op went ok. Must be such a worrying time for you. Hope you are looking after yourself.

Hi everyone
Hugs to everyone who needs them (((( ))))))
I feel really bad saying this as i know that there are a couple of mums here who are poorly at the min but i feel the need to share this AAARRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! My mum is staying with us at the mo for 10 days, its the first time since i left home (almost 25 years ago) that we have been together for so long, normally its a weekend visit. Things like 'whats for tea' as soon as i walk in the door from work and ' why are you watching that rubbish on telly' I love my mum to bits but am looking forward to seeing her board the bus on Sunday. I really need to work on my patience
10 AF please ShaggyIt’s not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts0
