    Hi everyone.

    Survived the party (yes, DH's family are quite full-on and a stiff drink is sometimes [STRIKE]required[/STRIKE] a way of coping)

    I missed my target by one day, so finished October on 24/25, but I'm OK with that. I've seen a couple of full-houses, so well done to you!!

    AFD yesterday and again tonight so calling 2/25 please Shaggy x

    Thanks for welcome Maman and Shaggy. Managed 1 AFD today. Currently sat with ☕️ And very pleased as today has been rather carp at work but managed to avoid the siren song calling from the wine rack.

    Tomorrow won't be AFD as have pre arranged meal out with friends but will try again Thursday.

    Lost the plot again in October but like a boomerang I've come back!!

    I'd like to go for 30 days in November please Shaggy.

    On the health front I've already got high blood pressure and cholesterol down to my Dad but this week found out that my Mum has also got inherited high cholesterol that is affecting her liver despite the fact that she leads an extremely healthy lifestyle!! Her doctor has advised that I should make an urgent doctors appointment!

  • Sandypan, so sorry to hear about your mother and fingers crossed for you at the doctor.

    I added a whole 1 AFD to my total last week so finished October on 6/10

    I'm off the starting blocks for November tonight so that's 1/14 for me please.

    Sweet dreams everyone.

    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.
