The giving up/cutting down alcohol support thread! Part 3

Hopeful34

Morning all! Fay and BB, what's the book, could do with some inspiration to make my bed! That sounds awful!

Off to get weighed. Uh-oh! Think it's going to be bad. Must find very lightweight clothes!

Have a good day!

Back from the school run and just popping on to say thanks to Fay :A:A:A

Was just walking up the path with DS to take him to school and a Royal Mail van pulled up and said 'ay up luv, got a parcel for yah 'ear. I wondered why he was giving my ear a parcel first of all. Then he jumped out with a big box (lots of postage, you naughty girl (now I owe you a parcel!) and it was full to the brim of pairs of wellies for practically the entire household, a pair of posh secataurs for the brambles and suchlike and..........CHOKLIT (and lots of it! ):EasterBun oh my god I love choklit. Thank you so so much for cheering up my day

ETA: hold on a minute.....slugs didn't see the slugs *better check the wellies before I put them on*

Another ETA: DD2 is now walking round the house with nothing but her new wellies on, it's a good look, maybe I should give it a go to frighten the household and the cockatiel?? :rotfl:

Fay, I also want to know what the book is, making the bed is definately a seriously uninteresting thing, what would possess you to want to make it before you're about to climb in it

Biglass, glad you're posting again tell me, how does drinking and nightshifts work? I used to work all day then drink in the evening before bed. Do you drink all evening and go into work p!ssed or get back from work and have drink for breakfast or what? That would screw me up completely :rotfl: hope you have a good sleep x

Miss P, I think (personally speaking), that you should only give up one thing at a time and if you're concentrating on quitting or cutting down on the booze, everything else should be put aside, eat and be happy!! Or, if you don't agree, I think that scary woman sounds like a good idea, espesh if it's free :D :beer:

BHB, your story reminds me of my neighbours a few weeks ago when their cat somehow brought in a live blackbird, the thing was bigger than the cat itself, plus it was completely alive and not injured (frightened though!) and she managed to get it through the cat flap . It happened early in the morning and my neighbour sleeps in the nude so ran round the house starkers after this bird trying to get it through the front door :rotfl:

Hopeful, I used to go to WeightWatchers years ago and we used to queue up to be weighed and you'd watch everyone removing all their jewellery before they got weighed incase it tipped the scales down another LB :rotfl: good luck at the weighers :D

Morning 40SM :wave:

Off to eat choklit (oh and lucky for me, DD2 came in whilst opening the parcel and was so in awe of her new wellies that she didn't notice me removing the choklit and hiding it :cool:)

xx

TIME2GROWUP_2

:hello:Just little old me waving again....!

Still bouncing like tigger on speed :j despite everyday life trying to get in the way, I will not be defeated off this road i've chosen to follow. Another AFD yesterday so that brings me to 8 for June, that's more AFD's i've had in one month than in the last 3 years, when I managed 1... :eek:

The Rabbit in the shower room....lol :rotfl:

I had a strange cat in the house yesterday, scaring my kitty's and piles of the brown stuff in random places around the house (unfortunately I got to clear that up!), followed by argument with the OH.. etc etc.. isn't life fun...!


:grouphug: Big hugs to all. Hope you have a nice day. x

Hi all, everyone seems quite chipper this morning which is nice, I have just eaten a sausage and egg mcmuffin and a coffee as my twins are in nursery all day today and I don't have to work today :j:j but I do need to do some housework or dh will come in and say 'what u been doin all day!!'

am going to sort out my pram to put on ebay today (its a double one) and also get started on my nhs job application - I am applying for a job working with adults with learning disabilities which is a new direction for me...

Jo lol to your dd in the wellies :rotfl: and we all have complete faith in you xx

I too have been taking berocca but havn't really noticed any feelings of extra energy! but I do eat quite healthily with fruit and veg and stuff so maybe it is more beneficial to people who perhaps have a worse diet to start with

BHB The rabbit thing eeeeuuuggghhhh

That made me laugh! Our WW lot aren't quite that bad. You could always pile on extra stuff instead - I decided to blame my 1lb weightgain on wearing heavier clothes yesterday as it was a lot cooler than a week ago.

I'm dressed and ready for this interview, feeling nervous but want to get it over with now. Hope they offer it to me.

Have a good day everyone!
