Hi all

Well unfortunately i cannot claim another AC free day as i am now on my second glass of wine. No particular reason other than i really really wanted one - such willpower:D My dilemma now is my wonderful plan was to drink each Friday in the month, St Paddys Day and have a floating day - so is this my floating day or will i have to give one of my Friday's up:eek: . St Paddy's is not up for debate as we are off work and will probably be going out for lunch. Hopefully i will only have 2 or 3 glasses this evening but i am more than a little cheesed off with myself that i couldn't even manage a week:mad: Oh well will definitely have no 4 tomorrow. Good luck to everyone else x

Blimey beachbeth- how do reptiles like this get away with it? Your poor daughter, everyone has the right to go to work and feel safe- hopefully he's learnt his lesson and will respect female colleagues in future, but I know that won't make you feel any less distressed (hugs). Its a good job he didn't try that when I was drinking- Id've trashed him.

Take care everyone tonight- have my Kudzu at the ready, apparently the company that used to produce Kudzu has gone bust (according to the guy in my local herbal shop) but he sold me the same thing-felt really positive about this and then got it out to put 20 drops into water as prescribed and the stuff has an alcohol base!!! Just like when I used to try and take rescue remedy!!!! Is it me, or is this bloody stuff EVERYWHERE!!!!!

Eselt my Kudzu are in tablet form

Hi everyone :hello: hope you are all well?

Pretty rotten day for me to be honest, really miserable boss but hey ho tomorrow is another day, only thing is I am very sensitive to peoples moods. (They affect my chakra's).

And so our to our lovely band of housemates on day 4 of this alcohol challenge. Confessions are for the diary room where Big Brother or as Trc puts it Big Sister will listen to anything you have to say?

So Big Sister 4/4 and another af day for me please when you do the scores, btw who is in charge of the shopping list this week? Can I please order a bottle of ginger beer and a bag of wine gums? Oh and a toilet roll. :rotfl:

Now to more serious matters:
Scylates Hi and welcome, good luck and keep posting I gotta tell you its quite addictive. Take care. xxx
Stroppy take care and keep positive, well done on the cutting down. Hugs xxx
Cornish Pixie thanks for your post and encouragement. Take care, xxx

Dear Lurks can see you have been online but haven't posted, thinking of you and the Lovely Esther. Look after yourselves. Hugs xxx

Hi to all the missing housemates. xxxxx
So signing off now, Ntc you sure are a hard sister act to follow. I think you need to give that Trc a task to do, perhaps more igloo building. :rotfl:
Ooh I can feel a public vote coming on.
Lots love. Budgie xxx

I have had AF DAY 2 :j :j :T :T That's one quarter of my March target

I will take tomorrow as it comes :rolleyes: but Friday/Saturday and possibly Sunday I will have a drink, but one third less than normal then try for my next AF day on the Monday - all easy to say but generally cutting down and some weekday days AF is my goal

This is day 8 and I HAVEN'T drunk 3 whole bottles of wine that I would normally have done in that time :j :j

Good Evening budgie.

Sorry to hear you are not feeling too good today well done for not turning to the bottle. You are doing really well :T so don't let those Chaka Khans tell you different (I used to love "I feel for you" ):D

You may have the ginger beer and the winegums but Big Sister will get back to you with regards to the toilet roll :rotfl:

Budg yellow monkey has a diary in the Bankrupcy board you know, why not go give him some budgie hugs bet he would appreciate that I cant imagine what he is going through.

Lurkio and Esther, hope all is ok with you both let us know if you can.

In the NTC house I am in serious need of taking my overeating in hand. When I gave up the weed I put on a couple of stone (used to be unhealthy but a size 10 never the less:D ) The last thing I need is to repeat that behaviour to replace the alcohol so sadly I need to lose some of those scrummy treats or I will be very literally Big Sister. Frustrated really because I eat very little when Im having a drink and I know that I am filling the gap most on here talk about with bad bad food. So I think my task in the next couple of days will be to take sort myself out (AGAIN!)

Right thats diary room over for me for tonight. Hope everyone else is doing OK, winebox where are you?

ETA well done fluffybishop I can sense a jumpy coming on soon!!
