Wow, it's been quite a week this week, I am exhausted. I don't know if it's cos I'm not drinking so my mind is more aware of it all :rotfl:

I drive an automatic but didn't realise that means it automatically goes to the wine shop without me even thinking about it :rotfl: .

No :undecided

Hi Jo

NTC sorry I was rubbish last night and had wine - I may need to lock myself in a cupboard or something.

Kudzo arrived yesterday - will take more of that today.

Hope the rest of you are being angels not little devils like me.

Sorry troups. Dunno why I am so stressed out at the mo - not working very effectively at my own work and having brother up to visit is difficult (he is working on a contract up here) - which is ace for him and its lovely to see him BUT- he doesn't DO anything just kinda lurks about the place needing *sigh* interacting with. We dont have a telly in the main room so I guess its a bit odd for him (although he has one in his room) - he doesnt read or anything its like having a person needing babysat in the house.

OMG I am so horrible. He's really lovely and helpful but I find the intrusion just a bit too - ? not sure what I mean - we are just very very different.

I am not very good with ineffectual people - I find this whole 'I am not in the way thing by doing absolutely nothing' really difficult. I guess living on your own makes you a bit independant and self centred?

Sorry - rant over - he's wonderful, I am acting like a child for some reason.

Promise to try harder - sorry for dumping this here I know its a trigger I just can't fathom out why.

Answers on a post card if you can stand me after this rant. Argh

Morning Peeps..... Long time no speak .... err typed!

Good days and bad for me though only one AF over the last month!

Have decided to go for it tonight with some AF lager - so any best buys that you can recommend?

Looking for taste rather than cheap !

Have found bitburger drive the best so far, but nobody round here stocks it. So what would be the next best thing in your opinions?

Thanks
Hope everyone is doing ok, It will take me about three months to read back!

hi all - great to see so many positives on here!

I'm having a MUCH better March than Feb - something seems to have 'clicked'.

I've just had my 9th AFD yesterday of March, and today should be the 10th I'm on quite heavy duty painkillers so would otherwise have a drink tonight, but bonus extra AF days instead

So I'd like to aim for 20/31 AFDs in March, if I may and have done 9/31 so far.

Much love and support to all

Sea xxxxx

AFD 4 for me today I'm safe now. Today was fine but overall it's very hard work.....a day or 2 is OK but I can't sustain the effort! Slightest feelig of "I fancy a drink" & I give in, not even what you'd call a craving. Next week am going to try much harder, I'm falling well behind. On the way home I couldn't resist a £12 bottle of wine reduced to £6 - way outside my usual stuff - but detoured to OH's & left it there. Don't think I'd have had it tonight but taking no chances!

Early night coming up - woke with a real start thinking I'd overslept as it was so bright but it was 4a.m. & I'd left the bedside light on. Couldn't get off again!
Hope to pop in tomorrow but if not have a good weekend all but beware the ides of March, (infamy, infamy, they've all got it infamy......) Your cue Lurky......

edit - sorry Sea, hi there, & well done! & hi bhb too

Hi everyone, :hello:

BsNtc sorry I have not been about much but I ventured into the diary room and then ..................
Well shall we say: "secret mission"?
The official take on my disappearance is that it is due to me being so exhausted.
Re: the above: YOU DECIDE
But I am af so it will be 13 for me please. Keep up all your good work, lots of love n hugs. xxxxx

AT LAST BHB you return :T good to see you back mate, take care, hugs. xxxxx Now if only we could locate Polaroid we'd be cooking on gas.

Maman belated Happy Birthday Wishes, hope all is well with you? Love n hugs. xxxxx

Dear Lurky and the Lovely Esther, glad to see you both back on track with your af days , I hope things are better now for you? Have a good weekend and love to you both and your family, btw how many mini Lurks and Esthers are there? And will there be any more? Though I must say goldfish are much cheaper and easier to maintain. Big hugs. xxxxx

Winebox and Jo, hope you have a good weekend, I have read your posts on driving and self sabatoge it so relates to how I am as well. I guess I don't take 3 tablets a day for my high blood pressure for nothing. I am such a worrier though better than I used to be. I envy people who have a devil may care attitude. I just worry about worrying, Take Care Angels, lots love. xxxxx

Sea, so well done to you, keep up your good work and take care. Love n hugs xxxxx
Wbf glad to see you off the grid and racing away, take care and best wishes. Hugs xxxxx
