Yes I'm still here and loving it, it's made such a change to my life rather than trekking right the way across London every day and getting home at 8pm every night and not seeing the kids, problem is I get hom at 4.30pm now and the beer bell's got earlier :eek:

I'm back to day 1 again, so jump up onboard with me and keep me company

Still feel like carp, used some more of the rent money for my prescription, spent £7.20 last week on anti-b's that didn't work, now I've got new anti-b's and an inhaler all for the bargain price of £14.40 :mad: it better bluddy work I tell ya!!

thanks hillbilly, I changed jobs, I now work 3 nights a week wed, thurs and friday and it dont bother me not drinking, some of the people at work finish at 6am go home and start drinking but I've not been tempted to do that, but when I get up on sat about 1ish I start thinking about drinking and am willing the time to go faster as I dont want to start too early as I will go to bed and get up about 3 am and be knackered all the next day, I also have a little driving job 1 day a week, today and am skiving at the mo, later, ab

Back on the wagon Jo

For me, I would use an argument between other people as an excuse to drink.
It 'justifies' it. However, I would really drink because I am an alcoholic.
Anything is an excuse to alcoholic.

Afternoon all, never did get a chance to do my long personals post, maybe I'll give it a go tonight between corrie and the apprentice

Still got a hangover plus the anti-b's I took this morning made me go quite funny, dodgy stomach and light headed, so shan't be taking any more of those! So not only wasted the money getting them but certainly can't afford anything else. Just hope I improve all by myself.

Having a panic about tonight, I'll have to stick my fingers in my ears and sing loudly.....whilst dancing

Hugs to Jo, hope today is a better easier day for you today

Don't know how I would cope with a teenager myself these days, I can understand it is a struggle.

Hopefully this time will pass and you will feel better again soon.

All ok here, might get round to doing some exercise later on as a shock to myself!

Will be hunting for some Berocca tomorrow or Saturday as the one I has yesterday was very nice.

See you all later!

Oh Jo . I love this they are all so cute. Hope you are feeling better today . I am dreading the teenage years - I can't cope with mine now and they are only 5, 7 & 9 (all boys:eek:)

Take it easy tonight sweetheart .
