Happy Christmas everyone. No AFD for me yesterday, I had a can on beer, but was pleased I just had the one and also very pleased I didn’t open the wine. Have a good day to all xx4

Happy Christmas everyone.
I am 24/25 today please cathybird. I had a very enjoyable single glass of wine with my Christmas dinner. My husband starts his treatment in January and he won't be able to drink so he opened a very nice bottle of red wine today and I joined him in a toast to its success. X5 -
Merry Christmas everyone, hope you are enjoying the day in whatever way feels right for you.5
