    Forgot to say have a great holiday Budgie. Hope you enjoy it and everything is a trill :p

    ym


    YM - They get worse :eek::D

    Have a nice time budgie. :hello:

    Happy Fathers day all you fathers out there .... especially the lurkers in the background :D

    Prescribed beer last night .... didn't really enjoy it ?? Must be something to do with wanting what you can't have :confused: Or the grass is always greener or some naff saying .:D

    Anyway .. further thoughts this morning regarding the beer front, might consider a 'Guiness a day' next weekend and see how I feel about it. I do have to say though it is a lot less stressful now that I have said I can have a beer if I like. Doesn't feel as though I have had something taken away ...if you know what I mean.

    All thoughts of drinking 4 cans of Stella a night have gone and realise this is something that I definitely don't want to do. But equally I don't want to say I can't have anything at all.

    Have a great day everyone

    Andy

    I know how you feel Piggy. I tend to drift in and out of this thread as sometimes all I am doing is Thinking about drink or reading about it. Each to their own and will see you again soon.

    Now ,Funny as it seems, I was thinking about you when I woke up this morning as I was watching Olivia on Channel 5 and wanted to ask if that is her in your Avatar ?

    Good luck

    ym


    We always watch Olivia as I have my own little Olivia (3) and she giggles all the way through the song as she can't seem to get over the fact that they are singing her name :rotfl:
