Thankyou 40sm, that was just what I needed I can so relate to Sleepyjo's post yesterday and Glasgow girls post today. However the next Bh I will have my Ds home and I intend to have some fun.

You are doing really well so keep up your good work and you have made a good start to your 100 day challenge and I know you are going to do it, hey a little birdie told me so

I shall watch heartbeat tonight and then The Secret Millionaire.

Thankyou again and hugs sweetheart, take care of yourself,

The secret millionaire always makes me cry although I am a bit of a softie - I've even been Known to cry at " Only fools and horses":rotfl::rotfl:

Thankyou for the update Budgie.

Funny what we treasure, today i have felt nauseous so I have had no thought of wanting alcohol. So, "Thankyou to sickness today", from me. Still took the Kudzu though ( not that brave yet to try a day without it )

How are you all doing? Is it easier or harder when the sun is shining?

Theres nothing wrong with being a softie and as to crying at only fools and horses when Daimen was born and Delboy took him to the window to show his dear departed Mum I was in floods.

Oh and when Dear old grandad died that was another one. oh and when Rodney married Cassandra. As you can see I am a massive only fools fan. I have the full collection on dvd.

My personal favorite is the Jolly Boys outing its a classic.

Lovely Jubbly

Off to watch heartbeat and enjoy The Secret Millioaire

Big hugs Budgie xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Edit Annie D sorry you are feeling sickly but well done on staying af, and I do think it is harder with the sun shining. You feel like you must be relaxing and having a good time and red wine plays a part in there me thinks? Hugs and take care xxxxxxxxx

Hi Budgie, that book sounds great. The quotations relate very much to myself. Could I borrow the book from you at all? Just PM if this is ok, and I'll return it to you too.

Had the 2 left over glasses of wine and really felt like having a big binge. Just managed to stop myself opening another bottle and washed my wine glass up. Had a bowl of rice pudding instead and will have a hot choccie later on tonight with the snooker final.

Take care everyone else and have a good night and day tomorrow x

Hi guys,

Between starting to watch Eastenders at 4pm and now, I have drunk a bottle of red wine. The only reason I have done this is out of boredom and being on my own. Also, I have no plans for tomorrow so at the end of the day, if I feel too c**p to get up in the morning then it doesn't really matter.

I know this isn't healthy but when you are single unless you make plans over holiday times it's all too easy to fall into the trap.

Feeling ok and won't/can't drink anymore.

xx

I know exactly how you feel. I have just stopped myself opening another bottle after I finished off the 2 leftover glasses. Still feel v.tempted tho' and the thought of not having to get up early and do anything tomorrow is tempting me further too

Anyways I have come across my Louise L Hay book titled: You Can Heal Your Life. (When I bought this it spurred me onto not eat meat and I haven't ever since reading it).

:T Budget Babe - I have a copy of that book, I loved it, it is so positive.
Why did that book make you give up meat if you don't mind me asking? (I am vegetarian as well btw.:))

I had a nice day out today with a few drinks but I am going to cook some dinner and have a glass of fruit juice and sit out in the garden for a while now. Not AF for me today I'm afraid but I definitely will be tomorrow so hopefully I will be 2/4 for May.

I hope you are all alright.:A

Hi 115k
yes the book is really good when I bought it I didn't put it down until I had finished it.

Why I gave up meat was because her personal take on it is that: if it grows eat it and if it doesn't grow then don't eat it. I also thought of the rotting flesh in my body and the trauma the animal felt at slaughter it made me give up and I was a very big meat eater.

Enjoy sitting in the garden and take care.
Hugs Budgie xxxxxxxx
