Hi
Cuppa- poor DD. When my eldest (now 20) was 5 she came out in Chicken Pops (as the kids say) 2 days before making her entrance as a bridesmaid at my brother's wedding. She was given some hefty anti-somethings by the doctor and we covered her in makeup. You can't tell on the photos and the medicine stopped her from itching. In fact that afternoon my sister and she were stung by a wasp. Sis came up in the most enormous lump, bright red and lots of pain, while DD didn't react at all with all the medicine she had been given. :rotfl:
Anyway I am declaring an early AF night to make a total of 15/22 so far but think I will ony fit one more in before the end of the month. Poor show I know.
I won't be setting a target for July either as I am away for a weekend, have a couple of celebrations and leaving parties to attend and then Im off on holiday on the 26th. Hopeless to even try.
Thanks everyone
Kind regards

19/29 AFDs and back on the wagon.
Feeling pretty exhausted after a weekend of little sleep and lots of worry, but at least I don't have personal health worries. Sorry to hear that you are poorly 41, hugs back to you. Glad you feel a little brighter after your haircut?
Cuppa, thanks for your kind words. What a shame for DD, but how lovely is she, not only is she a graceful dancer, she's a gracious little girl.What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?0 -
13 AF please Shaggy
Didnt have that great an AF week last week, i blame Bruce Springsteen myself for choosing a Tues night to play and that started my wee school night vino week (although i will forgive him as he was his usual brillant self:), in fact he was even better than his usual brillant self!!)
Back on track yesterday, always feel much more positive after getting a couple under my belt. I know it must be psychological but if i get a Mon & Tues night under my belt the rest of the week seems easier
Will go for 12 again please Shaggy for JulyIt’s not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts0 -

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 -
