    Good luck my dear! What a hubby, mine would have said if I wanted it that badly to go get it myself!!
    He is a star, he really is, drives me round the bend at times but I am very lucky

    Just substituted it for ginger ale, tonic water, lime cordial, Irn Bru and Pepsi etc. I've always enjoyed these sort of drinks so it's not felt like I am missing out.

    Thanks, I thought it was just us Scots who loved our Irn Bru:rotfl:

    Well, hubby came back in and after coming on here for advice, I ran into the kitchen as he was about to pour me a glass, told him not to that I would save it for tomorrow, so we both had hot choc and a wee biscuit :D, told him it saves him a trip tomorrow when he was moaning about a wasted trip :rotfl:

    So that will be 4/25 AFD's for me please lovely Shaggy :D.

    I only have one bottle of wine so hoping I don't go looking for more tonight. Have a great day everyone, I am away to put washing on & get brekkie, I have already been out to do the freezer shop this morning :D x

    Hope You get word soon Lilith, the wait must be horrible :(

    I LOVE Irn Bru - used to bulk buy too. I remember playing in a football tournament in Glasgow in 2004 and being suprised that all the pubs I went to had Irn Bru on tap.

    Like your signature heath480 :)

    Here's a snap of the sideboard. Was bloomin' heavy lol and just about got it into our car. Really nice with only one or two little marks and a bargain at £35!

    Just wanted to say "Hi!" to those that remember me. Its been a while and not much has changed (nothing really bad though, which is nice). Just grinding through life keeping positive.

    Now to read back - I hope things are getting better for everyone, and I hope I'm not putting my foot in it by not having caught up with it all.

    Still - I never forget everyone here. It's a sort of safe haven for me.

    Smoke-free since Jan 2012 :j Now its just the drink, and the weight, and life in general :p

    Morning :hello:

    I ended up having an AF Saturday. OH and I set out for the pub last night but when we got there there were no seats! So we decided to get a take away and didn't bother buying any booze - so it was an AF Saturday.

    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.
