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

barshamhillbilly

Just got back from the beach Very nice it was too, especially as we went where there wouldn't be many people. There were a few about but it was nice. The kids had a great time .... and the older kid

Jo - please put me down for 18 days for July - I think. Am enjoying the odd beer at the weekend, so as long as I don't go stupid like I did during last week then I will be happy .... especially if I keep it to under 20 units a week as well.
Also on holiday when the little peeps finish school.

Though I have to say part of the strategy is still NOT to do the :money:MSE thing and buy the bargain number of cans. I'm just going to get a couple of bottles on the days that I feel like a couple of bottles, cause I know if I have it in the house it will disappear much much sooner than I had planned. :eek:

Hope everyone is having a great weekend

Andy


PS. - annberlin - sorry absolutely no idea on how these things work, but if someone is having a problem in a different country especially within europe, I would have thought the embassy should have been able to sort it out. Be careful when parting with your money ...... sorry I know that sounds harsh, but am a great believer that the system does work for those that want it to.

Hi Fay, your friend is really lucky. We need to re-design our garden to make it less labour intensive but I don't know where to start! Any advice would be very welcome ( books, websites whatever). Have good evening.

Pm me with your thoughts and I can see how I can help you too.

Garden design is really easy

To fiigure out what you want is not too difficult. You need to break it up into who, when, what, where, how

How much time you want to look after it - be realistic
What you want to do in it - make a list
What is there already
When do you want to change things
Where do you want things

I write a list of what I want, how I want to use it and who's going to look after it.

Draw a pic of whats there (plan) square paper is good cos you can use it to scale things - write the things in to it that can't move - ie washing line, shed etc - get the basics (mines are never works of art!!).

Then I write the bits I want in the garden as a list which i chop up - ie bbq area, pond or whatever - and put those one wee bits of paper and try to figure out where they can go by moving things around on the paper with whats there?

Make any sense?

Ok guys here we go ..............................

Budgie is feeling a little better but my day has been stressful as Mr BB has been having a moan about me throwing away all this stuff. My bites are horrific to say the least and I am probably being paranoid I know but because I have suffered such a terrible reaction it has made me very nervous.

Basically I have thrown away three almost new suitcases, my dear thigh boots, 3 pairs of sandles, my good shoes, bags, an iron, hairdrier, makeup, creams, you get the idea the list goes on. Does this seem ott to you? I know it probably is but I feel I should have support from him and not reproach. (Sorry moan over now) Though the lady from the hotel said she would ring me back yesterday and hasn't? I am going to speak to a solicitor I know through work tomorrow to get some advice though.

40sm I am still on 20 I am afraid, I will not make my target but with everything that has happened I am ok with this. Thanks again for caring :A I am playing the Home song and thanks again for that and of course for doing the scores this month. Hugs Angel and lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Jo my Angel, sorry things as you have put it went a little pear shaped. So glad to hear though that the fair went well and happy belated birthday to your little angel. Re: my target for July well I am going to have to go for the Full Monty, I need to get back on track and I figure because I hold you in such high esteem that I of course would not want to let you down in anyway. (btw 40sm I of course hold you in high esteem too, its just with all thats gone on that I have slipped). So Darling Jo please put me down for the full 31 and I shall do my very best. Hugs sweetheart and lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Fay hugs to you and I am sorry that you have been having such a difficult time, hope you enjoy the quiz and I am sure you will do very well Take care and stay positive everything will work out in the end. Hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
