Well its official now.
I `am now 2 years AF.
Had a great 47th birthday @ the weekend, as I went to London and met up with my elder sister on the Friday (she went to the England game) and met up with my brother on Sunday.
We went to a BrewDog pub in Shoreditch and he had 2 halves of lager and I had 2 halves of their own diet coke.
We then had a gorgeous hot salted beef bagel with mustard , had a good walk round the Shoreditch area and then went our separate ways.
So I`m now starting my 3rd year being AF and I love it !. (Oh and the birthday weekend away wasnt bad either !).0 -
