    2/15 for me today please.

    Like @maggiem I need to get those AF days in the bank before events/holidays start.

    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    2/10 please for Saturday.

    Thanks very much @maman and @cathybird for the encouragement. Hoping to get at least 7AFDs before heading off. Fingers crossed for you too @satchmo1, I often struggle with restarting after a trip away so must keep going.

    Amazing results too @redofromstart. You seemed to have found a good place to be especially at such a hard time.
