  • We have no snow, rain or hail, it is just very cold, not even very windy. I won a pair of headphones on monopoly at mcdonalds worth 10 to 15 pound and £35 on online bingo so whoop whoop.

    22/30 AFDs for me please.

    Today's eighth ParkRun was squelchy and snowy, and took a different route to avoid the flooded pathways. It didn't stop me getting wet feet as a section of the path right at the start was underwater, and unavoidable. Yuk! Running in snow made my time 1 minute slower at 40:29.

    I was in a hugely bad mood with my DH when I got home, and it's only just lifting now. I bought a bottle of wine when I was grocery shopping, which I haven't done this year. I am thinking I will save it for DH's birthday on 8th April.

    Stay warm everyone. Hot chocolate is just the ticket on a day like today.

    Come on Satchmo, you're slipping, this isn't a criticism, but a geeing up, come on, beat my AFDs for the year, you can do it, you've done so well in January and February, but slipped slightly this month, lets get back on it after today! :)
  • Well done Barney, so pleased for you. Satchmo ok you had a drink of wine, now put it back in the fridge and press stop if you want, I know how hard it is and I only wish the best for you, you are a very good person and have helped me when I am struggling and I'm trying to repay the favour, not lecturing or criticising, just want you to be well and happy. Look after yourself. xx

    Morning :hello:

    2 more AFDs. I was brave with the wisdom tooth extraction and it all went to plan and I'm so glad to be rid of it - it was a right pain in the aris. Off all pain killers for the last 12 hours - so I think I'm through the worst.

    I'm planning to have a very lazy Sunday!

    Have a Happy One!

    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.

    I like snow. But not in March. I want Spring!

    22/31 so far. My dad's first cousin is also in ICU in the same room as my auntie, what are the odds of that. Auntie is on life support and my cousin is filling up with fluid and has emphysema on oxygen. Bit of an eye-opener as to the way I have been living so far, life is so short and I have a lot to be thankful for. Thanks everyone for your support, you are very important to me.

    41 you are having such a tough time - I really feel for you :(
