    Noynoy - I would think it best not to take Kudzu if you think you may be pregnant then, just in case :D

    I'm not gonna make my target this month, damn working with so many Irish peeps and the lure of the guinness :(

    You can do this Jo, you don't have to succumb.

    You are a non-drinker remember :

    I've decided to go with eselt's idea and say that I am no longer a drinker (with respect to Bis and GC that have their 'just for today' ways of doing it and that's right for them which is great).

    I don't feel all that deprived tonight cos no one can stop me drinking, it's just I don't like the way it makes me and is controlling me so I shan't bother thanks :)

    ETA: I've just realised I've now made double figures this month :j :j :j

    See how happy you felt back in Feb when you reached a target!!
  • Made it through last night, so up to 3/31 for me, please NTC. Aiming for another one today but it will be tricky as out for a meal. But will be strong so I can still exceed my target by one and get a jumpy.

    Felt absolutely shattered and tired last night. But I am sleeping through the nights again, so that's good.

    Out to enjoy the sunshine in a bit.

    thanks so much for the info ..but can you take it when pg..beacuse i might be also why i have to stop!


    Hiya everything I have read says not to take if it you are pregnant unless you have consulted a doctor.

    Nothing alarmist - there's nothing out there to suggest any detriment BUT as always better safe than sorry.

    Wow a baby Noynoy...congrats, how exciting for you...please hurry up and get it confirmed I can't stand the suspense!

    Jo- how ya doin? You have done brilliantly this month, don't let the old black dog convince you that alcohol will help, or be of any benefit to you, you know in your heart of hearts that it won't. Anyway, Mollys whip is out...and we all know that means best behaviour. Good luck tonight.

    Hi to everyone, hope you have a good evening.
