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

Wow, well done to the saints and Cleggie and everyone who had a bad day.
Welcome to Plum Jam too.
Just dashing in to report another one so I'm on 12/13 please Shaggy.
Tired too and off to bed, sleep well everyone0 -
Morning :hello:
1 for the SNC please Bearacus.
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 -
