    Evening all!

    WBF - all sounds good! Will keep things crossed for you too...

    Hopeful - the stopping thing is my problem too. Its a hard one to control and must confess to not having mastered it yet!

    Stroppy - good to hear from you!

    Jo - on Radio 2 traffic report they say the traffic is horrendous in London. Hope you've packed your kendal mint cake!!:rotfl:

    Hoping for a relaxing evening. Roast dinner followed by Celeb Masterchef (I do love masterchef - "Cooking doesn't get tougher than this!!"....they've obviously never come across one of my MIL's dinners.....)

    Bells are clanging a bit for me at the moment, I am just glad I don't have any wine in as I find it much much easier than If I do have any in....I have in the past bought those cases of wine from when Tesco used to loads of great offers but that is absolutely lethal for me as it just calls me from the garage!!

    I don't know if there are more booze offers than usual but it annoys me a bit that the supermarkets do great deals when you buy more than you would usually get...like for example dh drinks Strongbow so when I am getting it it just seems silly not to get him the 3 for £20 offer thinking :money: but really it just encourages him to open a few cans every night whereas if we don't have it in he can't iyswim.....he is cutting down as well so I am deliberately getting him less at a time but I just think it is unfair of the big stores to be encouraging people to buy more at a time....its the same with the wine on 3 for £10....I know that it is our own choice though but still...

    Hopeful - good luck tonight hope you manage to stay moderate x

    WBF good luck for tomorrow, got everything crossed that they offer you the job x

    Ooh I love Masterchef!unfortunately I have to suffer some boring old football match first......will sky plus masterchef though!carrying on with the berocca thing when I went into hospital and told the doctor I had been taking it he told me there was no proof it did you any good at all and was just marketed by the company as a wonder vitamin to get us all to buy it!Im convonced my body rejects anything healthy I put in it though as its used to all the years of abuse ive given it:D
    When I went for lunch today I was just going to have a coke but as soon as the waitress comes over and asks any drinks madam.....my head says coke but my mouth says large shiraz.....happens everytime :confused:I think I would find it literally impossible for my mouth to say anything different when in a pub or restaurant :rotfl:
    Good job I dont go out very often!
