    Mind you if you were spending 3K a year on 34 units per week you obviously drink very very good wine:D

    Blimey, yeah it must be! I've just worked out that if I abstain for a month, that's £152 saved :money:

    Hello all newcomers I forgot to say hi too!

    Hope you all find this thread as supportive and helpful as I do.

    Well what a start to the week I've had, it was my first day back at work after my whiplash cleared from the car accident and someone hit my car from behind and triggered it all off again with another bump to the car! :eek:

    Why oh why oh why does life happen like this? Even so things could be much much worse than they are.

    Definately AF today making it an early score of 2/24 from the fed up Mad Hatters House

    Morning all :)

    Miss P, sorry to hear your lil boy is ill, I hope he feels better soon. I hope your wedding anniversary goes well and you get around the bottle of wine situation :)

    Noynoy, welcome and good luck!

    Lurks, ah there you are ;)

    Fay, well done :j blimmin tough innit?!

    RA, that place looks lovely, I would love to stay there. Is it expensive?

    Felt like I'd been hit by a fleet of buses and a truck this morning :eek: I snoozed the alarm for 15 minutes this morning, which doesn't sound long but I did have to prepare my dinner for the slow cooker and make 2 packed lunches and get 2 kids ready and to the childminders. Was very nearly late for work but thanks to the traffic I scraped in in time!

    I'm pleased I didn't succumb yesterday...hopefully this week will be easier as I'm back in the routine, Fri, Sat and Sun was an absolute nightmare!

    xx

    Keep it in the day Jo.
    Just get through today, let's not plan too far ahead.
    If you can not drink today, that is great

    Thanks Jo and NTC

    Can you believe it! 2nd bout in 4 weeks after none for the last 18yrs of driving!

    Will be leaving extra big spaces in front of me and at the side - cannot accout for the back unfortunately.

    Anyway will be back on the paracetomol from today but no alcohol at all so will have many AFD this week to compensate and make me happy at making progress towards my target (a ray of sunshine out off all of this mess!)
