    well done miss piggy / mp and 115k on the weight loss :T:T

    I have also woken up this morning feeling low and with a lack of energy - think probably linked still to my drinking on Saturday Night..However I am applying for a new job and have been talking to my neighbour today as she does the same thing and I am feeling better as I am quite excited about it :D

    one of my girls has freaked me out today though, went to a cafe for lunch (our family business) and one of my twins decided to leg it straight out of the door and straight onto the busy main road :eek::eek: I pegged it after her and luckily there was no traffic on the roads but this is very very rare as it is a very busy road so quite lucky really..it is weird as she hadn't gone near to the door the whole time we were there and I deliberately sat at the back away from the door, but she just seemd to make a snap decision that she was going for it.......was in need of a brandy really but have settled for a strong cup of tea :p

    agree re big brother, I don't watch it any more, the last time I saw it was when my twins were tiny so I was up late with them, but I find that I can get into it and then when it finishes it sort of feels like an anticlimax and I think of all the wasted hours watching everyone!! the last one I saw was the one with Pete (remember him the one with turettes!)...

    :hello: Just a little wave today.

    You are all still my inspiration even when your feeling poorly/low/HO/tired/angry etc etc...

    Well done to everyone who has achieved what they want to achieve and good luck to those who need it/want it..! :T

    I have enjoyed my weekend and can happily post a AFD day for Sunday and today (driving tonight) so that should bring the June total up to 6 for me :D, although I may have to rejoin weightwatchers as I appear to have developed a 'can't have a cup of tea without a biscuit' habit, which I am assuming is down to the reduced level of sugar intake from the quantity of alcohol I was previously consuming. I so hope this passes quickly as i've always been a savoury rather than sweet person.. actually I don't think i've ever been described as sweet...! :confused:

    So if anyone is looking for a sweet tooth.. I appear to have it...!

    Hope you all have a lovely day and evening.

    :rotfl: i've developed a sweet tooth since stopping drinking as well. had a big bowl of ice cream and 2 chocolate bars last night. most days i have some chocolate. my sweet tooth hasn't showed any sign of waning so you may be stuck with it ;) when i was drinking i rarely had sweets but now i've stopped i'm making up for lost time!

  • I've never eaten so much chocolate since drastically cutting down my wine consumption! But I haven't put any weight on, so all calories appear to be balanced out. Perhaps if I cut out the chocolate too ... but maybe not, one small step at a time ....

    No drinking tonight, so up to 7 AFDs, please 40SM. Hope you're feeling better.

    Nearly finished my latest project :j - I'm another who works from home. I'm trying to take on less work because I'm just too busy with it all :mad:
