Good on you with the AFD days! I often have trouble sleeping but have such a bad cold at the moment that I've been taking those day/night cold tablets. The nighttime ones are really knocking me out - it's the best sleep I've had in ages!0

I tried night nurse once, its awful stuff and made me feel like I was constantly in a lift but a really good nights sleep with it.
Hope you're feeling better soon xx0 -

DS is hoping to get into the Air Force and DD wants to be a Guide leader, so doubtful at the moment that they'll give it up.
My best friend from primary school never left the guides :rotfl:. She was a guide leader for years and is now in a top leadership role in the guides and she's 53 :rotfl:.
It's great that they have ambitions.

I can usually do four AFDs a week when I'm in work. I try to make sure i do, and I agree with Hairy that I seem to sleep much better.

I'm leaving the rest until tomorrow, I'm too tired now to do any more.HairyHandofDartmoor wrote: »You seem to have got a lot done Purplemum. DH's cufflinks sound amazing
The cufflinks were from an Etsy? (I think that's how you spell it) store, I was originally going to get him some Lego mini figure ones but figured he'd probably wear the bricks ones more. The bike chain ones are really cute and definitely something different.
These are the ones:

Hope the links work.0 -
They look really good Purplemum, a nice change from the usual sort
