    April appreciation AF - week 3

    A quick note from the desert -
    Chill - what a whirlwind! I understand your situation, I spent the last 2 nights at my house sharing the dog pads on the floor with my pups, fortunately they were very generous...take care and be especially good to yourself in these next few days...

    Congrats, Star!!!!

    PMom - cheers on your you interviews

    Cassia - too bad about the house-grubbers, good luck. I can't believe you've been to Dunbar, incredible! Thanks for writing to me about it.

    RB - so good to see you, stay close...

    Rusty - good luck with the studying --

    Where are you Dill, Sped? Miss your words --

    Best wishes to ALL, big night tonight with festivities for HB, then calmer, will try to get more posted soon.

      April appreciation AF - week 3

      Evening guys
      Checking in from a very echo-y house while sitting here on my deckchair. My friend arrived round with a duvet and pillows to save me from the sleeping bag, I'm very grateful as it has turned colder and I think I would have been cold.

      Rebirth - I don't pay anything for my iPad, I just use it in any wi-fi zones, it was my best ever buy, I really love it! Yes I'm going back to Ayrshire in Scotland.

      Jolie - no, my husband and I have been apart for some years now, I have to say I'm dreading saying goodbye to him. I love your brunch idea!! I have used this a few times with get togethers with friends and it's a perfect solution. I have found it so much more relaxing to know that AL is completely off the agenda.

      Rustop - I love the sound of you getting lots done, I like everything just perfect and freshly painted woodwork plus clean patios does it for me. Enjoy that weather, we have rain here.
      Tomorrow I intend to clean the house from top to bottom to leave it nice for my tenant.

      Star - I'm keen to know how your day went at work....

        Lav - you must be so busy with your grandchildren and your chickens?

        cyn- I was just thinking about a puppy for my son. But he would have to be small and as clean as a dog can possibly be. If that makes any sense..

        Chill- Wow. you just connect to any wi-fi zone? Gonna check that one out! When are you leaving the country?

        rusty- Yep Jillian is as tough as nails but I just got to do something about my weight. My birthday is the 6th august! Last year I celebrated it in India with a homemade chocolate cake and a diet coke...amazing how time has flown by.

        Just did a workout so I am off to the supermarket to buy lots of fruit and veg! Not had any bread for three days! A miracle for me!!

          Rebirth - I fly to Gatwick next Wed with my dog, stay with a friend overnight then I'm driving up to Scotland on the 28th. My Mum wants me to watch the wedding with her, although the wedding isn't really a big deal to me the thought of watching it with my Mum after 10 years away makes me really emotional.

            Evening all.

            Well, as luck would have it, I am now going to sell my car to raise the extra funds that the bank are messing me about for. I must say that it has lifted a huge weight off my shoulder! I was going to give it to my dad but he doesn't really need it. I am so lad I didn't succumb to al because of the stress. Thanks again for all your support.

            Chill - not long now! Did u get a chance tomlook up s1z

            Star - how did resigning go.

            Hello to everyone else. Will check in proper when I have the laptop.

              Good evening Folks!

              Had a whirlwind afternoon & evening chasing EB around 2 1/2 acres :H
              It was nice out today, a little chilly but not too bad. I feel totally exercised :H

              New neighbors moved in across the road this afternoon & EB was the first to welcome them to the neighborhood yelling "HI" over & over until they walked over & introduced themselves - the kid is not shy!

              Chill & Cassia, you both are doing so well with your big moves! Stay with us as much as you can, we're here to support you

              Time to call it a day soon - I am tired!!!
              Wishing everyone a good night!

                Good morning appreciators

                Cass - yes I had a quick look at the job site, thanks. I think I will try the real-estate agents 1st and I still have a couple of contacts from when I checked them out before.

                Lav - sounds like you had fun! EB is a real cool wee guy

                Well I'm grateful to have slept well, another to-do list awaits me but if I'm busy I'm not thinking and that's a good thing! Wishing you all a good Good Friday!

                    Morning all. I usually pop in late so an early hello from me. Hi to. Bear, pap mom, Lvt, Lavande, my life, star, rustop, jolly, rebirth, dewdrop, DG, Mary, guitarista, paguy rusty, rocky, mario, sooty, cyntree, cassia, ladybird heart and chill. Sorry if I have forgotten any names.

                    Good luck chill. Hope the journey goes well. . I will be glued to the big wedding.
                    Well done on new job star and pap mom on interviews.
                    Enjoyed your post ladybird on where you live.
                    Good luck rocky in your studies.
                    Well done cassia on renegotiating mortgage, the are a real pain. Enjoy your Easter egg!
                    Dewdrop I am tired these days too but excercising a lot. Hope you feel more energetic soon.
                    Jolly I know what you mean about having some more free time now. Enjoy it.

                    Took day off work yesterday to mind my one year old granddaughter. Had a fun filled day. Exhausted but happy.

                    Planned giving up alcohol this time, really thought about it before I did it, taking vitamins etc and started first day of lent, now finishing lent AF and altogether much more together in every way. I have lost 10 lbs too

                    Next goal is to get to 100 days, yes it is always one day at a time, but I am a person
                    who needs goals.

                    Reminding myself never to get complacient and thinking that I can moderate. I can
                    moderate for a week or so then moderating becomes too difficult and I forget and slip slide I go.

                    Thanks for the advice and support in here. The monthly Abbers rock:H

                      Rebirth I believe when we are younger it's all about image and material things, then we learn what's really important in life like relationships, kindness and love. I'm just grateful to have made that realization as many people never do....:l

                              Thanks chill.

                              The planning is the key for me. This is my second real attempt to quit. The last time I fell thinking I could moderate so that is my next challenge. I am wiser this time but it a day by day journey. My problem time is from 6pm onwards. I walk at this time now. It's working so far but I have to keep my focus on myself which sounds selfish but necessary to keep my eye on how good an AF life is. I am changing a very bad habit for a better healthy walking one as well as all the other changes.

                              People are passing comments. 'You look great'. ' that is a lovely colour on you ' etc.

                              They notice change and I smile and say thanks!

                              Keep us posted on your move. Dying to hear how it goes.
