    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.

    Morning All :wave:

    Hope you're all well.

    Happy Birthday for yesterday Rachel :bdaycake:
    I also had a birthday yesterday. Not a major milestone so just had a pub lunch with MrR and BabyR.

    Gardenanna - MrR comes out with the "everyone" drinks like he does as well. And whenever we have visitors or always offers them a beer. Surely most people offer visitors tea or coffee??

    MissP - Good luck with getting to target. But don't beat yourself up if you don't quite get there. You've had a tough month

    Enjoy your day all!

    Good to see you back Bearacus, and so glad to hear you had a great holiday. I think you did brilliantly to drink so sensibly.:T

    I must have known you'd be on here tonight becasue I've just completed 4 school nights AF!! I was tempted earlier but didn't succumb.

    10 AFDs for March please.
