ohhh, Happy Birthday Girls - hope you are having a super time!.


Well, I was AF yesterday, so onto 14 now but having a glass of white with my fish this evening. I shan't drink tomorrow so I will hit target.

BB, I'm thinking that 21 sounds like a good target for me in May, thanks very much. Am still thinking about my improvement thing but it may be 'go to bed by 11 every night' I have been sitting up late and so feel very tired.

AF again tonight so that's 12 AFD's for me please HS :j Have found it really easy this week and not even thought about drinking. I think I am really getting used to not drinking on normal week days - physically and psychologically

Plan on reaching 13 tomorrow which isn't bad for me considering we went on holiday for a week and I allow myself to drink on holdays so although not as good as last month it is still not too bad for me all things considered

BH weekend coming up so may allow myself a drink on BH Monday, but will see how I feel I may just not want it :eek:

Have a good evening everyone xx

Evening all!!

Fay - said it more than once today but it bears repeating...;) HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Halfway to 82 eh? That could be either depressing or cheering depending on how you look at it!!:rotfl:
Lillibet - HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you too!!!!
HS - I think I am now up to 23. Have to abstain now to reach target (I think!)

Glad to hear everyone quite chirpy. I feel quite perky myself, despite having a trying day. Piglet was a monster all morning and then work was very busy this afternoon. And in the back of my mind I kept thinking I had to get home so OH could go out to Badminton. Made it with about 5 minutes to spare. Then put Monster to bed and have just ate my dinner!!! My wonderful Mum has sent over a creme brulee for me pudding. Sigh...I love my Mummy!!!

Evening all:j

Just got home from my birthday meal - thank you all for your good wishes and HAPPY BIRTHDAY FAY - yours will be one birthday I won't forget in a hurry. Hope you had a good day.

I had a super evening. My dearest friend came over with her two kids at about 5'ish. Had two small glasses of champagne.

Got to restaurant and had a G & T. Plus one glass of red with my meal.
Am just going to sit in the garden to hear the last of the birdsong with ..... *drumroll* a LIME JUICE AND SPARKLING WATER:eek:

I can' remember who recommended this combination but it is luvvverrrly....
:T

I think this will be the first birthday I will remember in the morning for many a long year - and I am still able to type coherently at nearly
9.00 p.m.:T

Thanking you all once again for your love, support and kindness. I know I can't do this without you all - yet.....

Hello all, I'm back online

Got a new charger tonight for the laptop woohooo!!! I've been reading all the posts regularly on my phone, but it's such a palarva trying to get a signal at home that I didn't have the energy to post, hence me thanking all the posts but not posting! Then got in to work yesterday and the internet was down :mad: It was working this morning and I trawled through about 5 pages of this thread making notes of what I wanted to say to everyone, then when I was about to post, the bluddy internet went down again :mad: :mad:

Anyway, got a bargain, bought a brand new toshiba charger from my computer fixing guy up the road for £25, they are between £70-£100 in the shops around here :eek: so all good

Left my notes of what I wanted to say at work :rolleyes: and there's too much to catch up on so I'll just say what I remember...

BHB, to you for your 24 days Had any random livestock wandering around the place recently :rotfl:

BB, thanks to you for your concern and lovely posts, hope you are feeling better now?

WB, thanks to for your concern, think I answered my silence above

Fay, happy birthday!! Thanks for the info on the honey, it's funny cos a colleague actually said the same thing to me not half hour before I read your post!! I have no idea how to find local honey though

Lilli, happy birthday to you too I hope you have a lovely evening!

GC, thanks for your inciteful posts, as always

Bis, lovely poem, thanks for sharing, how you doing?

Eselt, how's your friend, you are so caring and special

HS, you've done a fantastic job of scoring this month, bet you can't wait till its over

MP, FB, DC, Maman, NTC, Pariskate, Stroppy, Miss P, SleepyJo, WBF, Dot, Annie, 115K, 40SM, Noy, Maz, Glasgow Girl, Hellllooooo :wave:

Hardworking Bob, welcome!!

Nelski, welcome!!

Lurky, where the hell you lurking!!!

YM, where'dya go?

Things have been up and down for me, well, actually just the down been drinking alot and been getting more and more ill, thought I had hayfever but turns out it was a head cold that's turned into a chest infection.

Last night I took my first antibiotic with 2 paracetamol, apparently I'm meant to eat with the anti'bs but apart from the 3 litres of stella and the 2 paracetamol I'd had my belly was empty, woke up during the night feeling so sick and nauseous, couldn't sleep, I look like !!!!!! and feel worse.

So on the wagon tonight, don't even feel the urge to drink although feel a bit 'angry' and irritated. My body can't cope with alcohol today, doubt I'd wake up tomorrow that's the way it feels.

In myself I'm okay though eaten a HUGE dinner, took anti-b with food and have drunk a litre of orange squash, now gonna watch the apprentice and get an early night cos I got a feeling I'll be having a sleepless night with those vivid dreams and lots of coughing.

Thank god I'm back online!!
