  • Well, it seems like it's been one of those days for people on here :cool:

    Hope you manage a chilled out evening Cleggie ... you were sounding a wee bit stressed :eek:

    My day was just fine, infact it was pretty good. I feel incredibly chilled out today, not too sure why, maybe lack of caffeine - I've switched to tea instead of coffee with the giving up smoking...day 5 today.

    Hope everyone has a happy evening.

    Please could I have 30 AFD Shaggy :) - can't really believe I've got here :o
  • Welcome aboard Plumjam. Good luck with the AF days X

    1 for the SNC please Bearacus :j

    Tired beyond tired tonight. So I've got hot chocolate and some digestives. Off to bed in a minute. My list of chores is done for the day and kids are fast asleep.

    Much love X
    Need to start again :o

    Thanks Crazymum, Bearacus and May2013.

    Things have calmed down now and the urge for a glass of wine soon passed. Just off to bed now. Night!

    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.
