    Out dancing this evening and all that is on offer is squash!:D


    Hope everyone is enjoying the lovely weather. Remember it's not an excuse to have a drink. For those of you cutting down, it's apparently supposed to stay fine through the weekend.:)


    13 AFDs please Shaggy.

    Afternoon on this sad day....

    ....just when you've seen every level of horror - someone finds a whole new level.

    3 more AFDs for Thursday, Sunday and yesterday.

    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.

    Do they put the number of units contained in a bottle?

    All alcohol has the units on it - as a rule of thumb a bottle of wine is roughly 10 units....recommended alcohol consumption is 14 units or less per week....

    A small glass of wine in a pub is 1.6 units - a large glass about 3 units.
