    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.

    Date went ok, but not my cup of tea really - he likes scandanavian viking music - I like Bruno Mars:rotfl:

    At least I managed to stick to Lemonade

    He has asked if we can go out for dinner, but I have cited too many differences, lol
    I am meeting another guy on Sun, so will see how that goes....

    Weather here rubbish - kids on the trampoline making a rain cover so they can eat lunch outside - it's freezing!!! Keeping them happy so I won't complain :D

    Hope all ok x

    Afternoon all!!

    8 please Shaggy! :)

    Busy here at the moment. I'm faithfully turning my eggs three times a day and praying when I check them in 5 days time that they've fertilised!:D

    Piglet very much looking forward to getting his bunny tomorrow. Jobs for this afternoon include bunny proofing (hiding all wires etc) and getting quotes from vets :eek: for vaccinations etc. Blimey... a hamster would have been a LOT easier.......:rotfl:

    Piglet has been with mum while I've been working this week. She says he's done her good as otherwise she would probably have moped a bit about her brother. She seems ok, for which I'm grateful.

    The bells have been ringing slightly for me this week. Nearly caved a couple of times but am determined to save money so Piglet can enjoy his pets without us constantly moaning about how much they cost!

    tracy_36 -you did make me laugh about your date liking viking music!:rotfl:Years ago, before I met Mr Piggy, I traded letters with a man in Australia. He seemed to like a lot of things I did and we got on well......till he posted me naked pictures of himself!!:eek: Turned out he was a naturist but didn't know how to tell me...and thought the pictures would explain it all!!!:rotfl::rotfl:Keep at it though, you never know when your perfect soul mate will come along.:)

    8 AF please Shaggy

    Been away on a short break with Mr Mackeroo, had a lovely time despite the weather. On a whim we decided to hire a rowing boat for half an hour, the sun was shining for about the first 15 mins and then a HUGE black cloud appeared from nowhere and we got soaked with hailstones:eek: DH was rowing like mad to get back to the shore, it was soo funny, everyone was laughing at us as i opened up my shopper bag to act as a cover for my head :rotfl:After that we went to the pub to dry off!

    10 please, Shaggy, thanks

    Just been reading back - so sorry, Rachel, about your mum - I know she had been ill for a long time. Hugs to you all x

    Almost finished a project which I've been stuck on for 2 weeks, so planned night out with Mr Pricey tomorrow - probs go with voucher codes to Pizz@ Express ... yummmmy. Won't be AF, but will try to be sensible.

    Well done to all the people who have been AF for so long - you are all amazing.

    Just checking in after being awol over Easter. I have no more AFDs to report but have been very sensible. Today I just had some wine out with lunch but no more this evening. I was afraid I had got myself back into the habit of daily drinking. I'm planning to jump back on the wagon on Monday.

    So sorry to hear about your mother rachel. Sending condolences to you and your family.
