    Fantastic!!! I could do with some of that!
    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.

    16, please Shaggy, thanks

    Great to have you back!! I certainly missed you posting my AF's. :j

    No DD's here last night - so DH and I celebrated by having several glasses of prosecco. Felt pretty rough today, but at least none of the DD's knew about it. ;)

    Spoke to DD1 in Australia (she's studying there for a year) using Skype today - wonderful - speaking to her more at the moment than we do when she is at uni!!! :)
