    You take care if he's going to drink he will probably do so anyway so if he does why not just go out and enjoy yourself with friends and family.

    Hope he doesn't of course but you're not his mother he should be able to retrain himself.

    Take care

    Right..no major explosions as yet.........minor rubbish on Friday evening with OH, but nothing I couldn't handle. Yesterday was a lovely day out.. OH was working till late last night, worked really hard actually to give him his credit ....expecting him to have a sore head this morning tho (heavy Saturday night and still in bed), but have planned to go out with DS nice bus ride, then pop in Dsis later today :D....leaving only the Bank Hol Monday to organise :eek:.......been quite a military operation this weekend spending more time outdoors than in................anyway best get my glad rags on and make a move before Mr Grumps gets out of bed looking for the paracetamol...;)

    Weekend ticking along better than expected so far! .Had really nice morning out yesterday, found 2 great bargains from the men section RI mens jumpers for OH priced at only.... wait for it...."50p each" wow even asked at the checkout, thought they had been tagged with the wrong sale price, then visited Dsis in the afternoon, good giggle....
    Hoping to make a payment off CC and into mortgage Tues or wed depending on when customers make invoice payment.
    Also haven't done food shop yet trying to hold out.. have plenty in the freezer, so might just buy essentials today.
    Plan to have morning out with DS and Dmama this morning.....have no plans for the afternoon, OH saying he might be working today hmmm not convinced!..............if he does I might start sanding down my old sideboard in conservatory this afternoon, ready to paint, plus cant keep ignoring overflowing ironing. Must admit looking forward to having the house to myself for a few hours.:D:D
