DH decided to drink my favourite wine tonight (which I must admit I thought was a bit of a cheek, just becasue he'd run out of his usual quaffing stuff) but I didn't even fancy one.0 -

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 -

Well yesterday was AF so 1AF day to add please Shaggy. This is the first time I have met my target and there are still 7 days of the month left!
It is also the first time I have had 9 days AF in a row in about 5 years! I feel so much better for it AND I've lost a couple of pounds in weight (an added bonus).Debt Free Date: November 20170 -
14 AF please Shaggy
Thank you all for your kind words and wishes re our loss. Yes Shaggy too early to be thinking about a replacement, although i did phone up local dog home as i noticed they had a 10 year old, 3 legged choc lab looking for a home. By the time i called he had been taken which is good news for him. I wont be back on here until Sun, planning at least 1 Af day over weekend. Have a good weekendIt’s not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts0 -
