    Morning :hello:

    1 for AFD please Bearacus. Off to the pub tonight and out tomorrow night too probably, so not expecting to clock up many AFDs this weekend. But if my hayfever comes back, I'll stop drinking straight away.

    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

    3 please Shaggy

    Stupotstu - hope you made it! Like Maman says, it can seem really hard to begin with. I find though that once I've had a few AF days it gets a lot easier.

    MrsR - great bargains! I never seem to spot things like that. My SIL is forever getting joints of meat etc at ridiculous prices - don't know how she does it!!)

    All well in the Piggy house. I may have a drink the weekend but, at the moment, I'm not too bothered. Will see how I feel. Quite happy at the moment just sitting down of an evening and relaxing without a glass in my hand - by the time I've seen to the animals I'm shattered!!:rotfl:Saying that, chicks don't need much looking after, just have to keep them company :). And Hoppsy seems to have formed an attachment to Mr Piggy....much to our amusement as he was the one against getting a rabbit in the first place!:rotfl::rotfl:

    Well done stupotstu!!! as previously mentioned I find after the 1st couple of AFD days it becomes easier.

    1 more AFD please Shaggy & Another SNC please Bearacus (think that's the 1st full SNC I've completed!!! :j what a great feeling!!! :)

    I'm going away with my DW this weekend, therefore don't think will have any more AFD's now till next week now but had this planned so within my target for May.

    Hope everyone has a fab friday :D

    last night was AF so another one for me!

    got two of my best friend's birthdays this week. stayed in with one on wed but didn't go mad, still surprised at how high my alcohol tolerance was though, i was the only girl there, matched the boys for the number of drinks and i was still relatively sober and they were losing their coordination and falling asleep everywhere!

    out for the next on sunday night i think. will prob curb how much i drink purely because it will be more expensive to buy drinks out than it is to buy them in!

    3 AF please Shaggy

    Rearranged my failed Wednesday date to tomorrow night, so will be AF as driving - tbh this weather makes me want to drink hot choc, not wine or beer - as someone said previously - keep raining!!!

    Well done stupotstu, one day at a time :)

    I have done my exercise on the wii fit today, was really looking forward to a long walk, but I really couldn't face the weather :(

    Hope you all have lovely extended weekends

    It was a bit of a cheat really. I was working. Found the sausages on the shelf and the USE BY was that day (it was 9.30pm). Got a colleague to mark them down then took 2 packs before I out them on the shelf!! As a customer, 3pm on a sunday afternoon or about 8.30pm on a week day is the best time to get the bargains. But you have to be prepared to elbow people out of the way :rotfl:

    I am so jealous of your little chicks MissP - If we lived in a house I'd be suggesting to MrR that the Baby would like a Chick!!

    Well done Stu for waking up with a clear head :T
