Been busy over the weekend and not been on, but just popping on to say I have been AF all weekend making 6AFDs. DH is on board for January too which is great, and we were both out Fri and tonight, and both on the OJs. 6 afds in a row is the most I've done in one go in over a year
.
Seeing my bereavement councellor tomorrow, and will tell her that I've knocked the drink on the head for the month, as this is one of my issues that she's helping me with.
Can you put me down for the SNC as well please Mackeroo. Back to work & school on Tues, will be nice to get back to a routine, but dreading what my desk will look like!LBM Dec 10. Total unsecured debt £41176 :eek: Nov 12 Debt Free Thanks Mum x RIP x

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 -

Managed 6 AF days now woohoo to getting through the 5 o'clock wine siren.
Sunday's wine o clock saw me prepping in the kitchen with a cup of chamomile tea. I was given some chamomile "tea pigs", which are very superior, as they use discernible flowers rather than dust. I can get 2 large mugs of tea out of each one.
I was horrible all weekend, due to a drippy cold - I'm an impatient patient. It's clearing up now, so hope to return to a nicer self.
CuppaT, after story time, I used to sit in the darkened bedroom with my little boy (decades ago), not being active. I put the chair near to the open door, and would try sneaking out - he always said "I'm awake" if I tried to sneak out before he drifted off. I often had a short snooze myself (I wondered if my snoozing settled him into sleep?). Just remember, this too will pass, it's still fairly early days yet for all of you.
Hugs, Satchmo xWhat would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?0 -

Morning all,
2 AF days and very little sleep here. At least I am clear-headed (ish). DS2 back to uni today so feeling a bit sad about that.
Thanks for updating Shaggy. I don't know how you do it!
Have a good day everyone.
