Welcome Shar-ona
I am so sorry for your loss; you are so brave. Other people have said far better than I how valuable this thread is; you are definitely in the right place.

Morning :hello:
1 more AFD for the SNC please Bearacus and second day of my diet completed.
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 -

Hmm, well I succumbed to temptation last night and woke up at 4.30am this morning. And to think there might be a link between drinking and insomnia (My ability to be in denial is quite impressive, even to me!) Have a good Friday everyone.
PS Welcome back Miss P (at least my insomnia meant I caught up on here!)
PPS Thanks for the Friday Hug!0 -
Morning
