  • I'm up to 14/19 NTC. Am away this weekend with hard drinking almost compulsory and going to a wedding abroad for 4 days next week, that's gonna be a real test. Am determined to get to my target of 20, will have to magic some days up from somewhere. Have a good weekend all!

    Well done Fay!

    I succumbed last night I'm afraid. There are 12 days left in March including today so if I make every single one of them alcohol free I can still hit my target of 16. Hmm, sounds like a tall order. I will start with making today go well. I probably won't be able to post until next weekend even if I'm one of the angels next week.

    Hope everyone enjoys the weekend.

    Well done fay!!!:j

    18 for me please NTC !

    Well, its kids weekend this weekend (step-kids come down every other weekend) and they're normally very full on for the first few hours. Excitement at seeing their Dad I think. This normally is a cue to bring a bottle of wine in with me to help me cope with the boisterousness (is that a word!?). Can't do that this week so may have to have an early bath instead:rotfl:

    Noynoy - thats very early for pre-menopause...poor you! Bit of a shock after you were all set for being pregnant. Must be hard to get your head round, even if it does run in your family?

    I'm one day into antibiotics for ear and throat infection - slept better last night but still feeling like carp this morning. Off to take little one to his speech therapy play group so hopefully that will perk me up a bit. He loves it and its so nice to see him enjoy himself.

    Hope everyone else is well.

    Hope all's well, thanks for rallying me last night - I was mega struggling.

    well done Fay your life sounds amazing btw although I think I would miss the Trafford Centre a wee bit:o

    miss piggy get well soon xx

    noynoy sorry to hear your news take care :sad:

    Managed a AF night last night which by my standards was very impressive as it was pretty stressful in chateau NTC. Nothing major like some of you are going through just a couple of hysterical mates wanting a moan:D Aunty NTC stayed sober and packed them off asap for an early night and Justin lee collins. Party tonight so on the bench for the day but will be conscious of my intake I promise.

    Have a great Friday everyone xxx

    on a small note, I have been asked to mention gently in the daily update that we should not be discussing anything to do with with drugs/side effects as this may be seen to be medical advice. :o
