    Calling in early with 2/18 please.

    I feel rotten today despite not having a lot of wine last night. I slept really, really badly and I am grumpy and stressy and not nice to be around! I absolutely hate feeling like this. Overtired doesn't come close to describe it!

    Early night for me I think!

    An early declaration of 2/15

    However, I'm flying off on a 5-day weekend tomorrow (2 day weekends just aren't long enough!) so I doubt I'll be adding to the number of AF days this week.

    Have a lovely time! Somewhere sunny or UK? (mind you, the UK is supposed to be lovely - sunny and warm - at the weekend :) )

    I had a single glass of wine tonight in a bar with my sister in law - very nice but had no desire to continue drinking, came home and am off to bed.

    So, still on 2/22 please Shaggy.

    I'm away from home until the 18th March but after that I think I'll get back onto the Slimming world wagon!
    Trying to keep in budget.

    Thank you :D

    Gran Canaria so hoping for sun - been checking weather there recently. Rain was forecast when I checked on Sunday but looking more promising at mo.

    I've heard that the UK is forecast for spring-like at the weekend which makes a change from all the rain lately.

    I have been there in March before and it was lovely :) Enjoy!

    very jealous of all the lovely trips people are doing - great time of year for a break just wish I had one booked.

    I am as ever in hotels again though with work and can call my first day of march 1/15 please shaggy nothing to be proud of as my usual AF monday fell down last night with the temptation of a free wine with dinner:o

    I can resist anything other than temptation it would seem :p
