Hi BB and everyone else,

Firstly I am on 7AFD still having a bottle of wine lasting 3 days over the weekend, just the one glass tonight.

My interview is on Thursday, not feeling that anxious yet, but my skin is playing up big style with many spots. Hopefully it will calm down in the next few days.

Hoping to remain calm over the next few days and on Thursday itself and then see what happens.

Also have been invited to interview for the 2nd job I applied for. It is more travelling again however it looks like something ideal for me and I was very excited to get an interview as I thought I hadn't been shortlisted. It isn't for a few weeks yet though

Will be remaining AF for the rest of the week and continue with flying and interview prep and other jobs on my list of things to do.

Have next bereavement counselling session this week also to upset the apple cart, hoping to remain more stable this time and hope my head does not end up in pieces for too long as have the interview a few days later

Evening all

9 for me, please Jo.

Thanks for everybody's advice regarding Glastonbury. Sounds horrible - I love camping, but not unhygienic and noisy camping. I'll try to persuade DD2 that it's not a good idea.


Have a good week everybody xx

Evening All....lots of good advice on here regarding dogs, we have a westie and I have to say she is fab with the kids and they bug her too...she is a bit yappy though which can be annoying....a lovely temperament though..

I have always fancied Glasto but think I like the 'idea' of it and the reality would probably kill me - especially with full blown hayfever :eek: although I do think it would be a good mother/daughter thing to do, could be a lot of fun...

Not af today so still on 7 days af Jo thought as much, inlaws always have a nice glass of white ready for me on arrival and a nice red with dinner although as I drive I did only have the 2 and didn't bother with anything else when I got home (I did have half a bottle in the fridge too) so although have had 3 drinking days, they have been very moderate for me....think last week may have been the first week in years for me (apart from pregnancy)that I have been under the official government guidelines

Budgie so glad to see you are feeling much more chipper and I can't think of a better way to spend some of you comp than on thigh high boots, curry and a bit of time with your lovely ds - oh and congrats to him on his promotion xxx

FUAS Good luck with your conselling this week, hope it is a bit less stressful for you this time and lots of good luck for the interview, sounds like you have such a lot going on at the moment, so try to plan some 'me time' in there for a bit of r&r too...xx

Miss P thanks for asking after the kiddlies, they are all a lot better now thanks, dd1 though didn't manage to get her mmr on Friday as she had a temp but got the youngest twin done, was dreading it but she just said 'ouch' bless her.....I bet ds will be trying it on though tomorrow, he gets on fine at school but the minute he has any time off he never wants to go back.....mind you he only has a week left and he has already informed its 'no work this week' so he might just about manage to go :rolleyes:

Fay Nice to see you posting, glad you made it up with your oh hope all is good in willow land xxx


Regarding the missing posters, I havn't seen anything for a while from annied...hope you are doing ok if you are around hun xx

Sorry for the waffly post, off to bed now...night night all xxxx

:hello:
I can be in London within the hour and I love curry too!! Budgie, ask your DS to book a really big table!

I'm not a dog person 40SM but my friend has a wonderful springer spaniel called Chloe. She's a rescue dog and is lovely and friendly. She does have loads of energy and needs lots of exercise though.

I'm planning 4 AF days (no socialising planned until Friday). I've had the 3 bottles I bought for the weekend and although I've got plenty of other alcohol in the house, it won't tempt me.

Good to hear from you Fay. I so understand how you can down a bottle in half an hour. I try sipping but it just doesn't work!!

Have a good week everyone.:A

I am so in this. I seriously drink far too much and a) it's costing too much and b) my boyfriend is a bit concerned. I'm planning to only drink on special occasions and if we go out, and considering we're budgeting it shouldn't be too often!

Pippilongstocking

Waves to all

I love curry

At home

NO grass cut (just inspected it in the dark) none of the lawns - pah.

Everything else seems very tidy and lovely - I will soon change that - I am v messy.

I love curry - couple of planes and I can be there in under a day....??

Pippilongstocking

Waves to all - and yeah sipping wine - odd concept.

AF day for me

Night night all '- back into the fray of willow land tomorrow

4 of my bosses tried to get rid of me - their bosses told them they couldn;t sack me for being dyslexic (I only just found out and they cited it as the reason to discontinue me in my big meeting 2 weeks ago). So now I go in to see what exactly we are doing with 4 folk who think I am incapable - - just a normal Monday.

How much fun is tomorrow going to be?????

Hugs to you all - x
