  • Morning everybody :j

    Well done to Annie - that must have taken some willpower, esp in Manchester on a Thursday evening. Treat yourself with the money you saved :T Feel great this morning, apart from the foul rain. I've had two Wasted Wednesdays in a row where I've had serious wine blips. Annoying - I've managed to control cravings on Thirsty Thursdays and Frazzled Fridays. Horrific hangover yesterday, then a client came back with questions about my last project and I nearly lost it with her. :mad: Great customer service - oh dear. Anyway, 115K and I are going to try to cut alcohol out completely - makes it easier to count the AF days anyway. But I've never ever done this before :eek::eek::eek:

    I had Nightmares last night about taking exams - DD1 has English AS today :eek:

    Have a great day everybody. Thank Crunchie it's Friday!!!!!
    Total AFD's May-December 2009: 178 ie 73% of total days (245 days)
    Target January: 25 actual: 24 Target Feb: 22 actual 22 Target March: 26 Actual: 24 Target April: 25 Actual: 5

    Oh yes, I had forgotten I had agreed to that.:eek::p

    6th day AF for me please lovely Budgie.

    I want lots of chocolate and fizzy drinks today, my body really starts screaming out for sugar when I haven't drunk for a few days. I don't know how my weight loss challenge will go this month now.:rolleyes:

    I think I will take the wise words of the people on here and just take one day at a time at the minute. I had a very up and down day yesterday. I kept getting a bit of good news then a bit of bad news and I was all over the place.

    Have a lovely holiday Molly Polly.

    Well done to everyone.:A At least it's Friday!:j

    Well done Annie D - it's those little breakthroughs which all add up and will keep you going.

    Mollypolly - have a great holiday.

    Well another AFD for me yesterday so that's 4 now in total but I'm on the bench now until Sunday with fluffy, maman and others.

    Have a great day everyone

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:the me & my big mouth syndrome....very good luck to you both; it's nice that it's come to you at the same time to support each other.

    BHB am dead proud of you - I would've been outside a bottle in no time :T:T:T:T. Loved PIR comment about being stoned instead :rotfl:.

    Stroppy haven't heard from you for a while?

    Instead of being at OH's Sat & Sun I'm there tonight & Sat so on the naughty-but-nice bench for the next 2 nights (if it's a planned drinking day, is that still naughty?.....), & then HOPEFULLY an AF Sunday which would be good as it's usually my most boozy day I love that Monday hangover so much.

    Back later!

    Hi Winebox:hello:

    How is the hair looking today ? Did OH like it ?

    I am in a bit of a mood this morning. Lost it with the kids again this morning and now I am at work and in a mood and and am very very very bored.

    The sun is trying to come out here so perhaps things will improve.

    Im still here WB
    Not been well the last week at all, various doctors visits and trip to hospital the other night. They thought I had appendicitis but turns out its not that so am now waiting for some 'urgent' scans which im told will take a week or 2 to book?!So result is i'm in pain and keep crying but got to wait for ages to see whats wrong.Have been trying to get back in to doc today but they cant fit me in.Great!
    Sorry for moan but I am so peeved off.
    I have also managed to somehow kill my lovely red Begonia thats in the garden....it looks as sick as i feel.Fay help!!I need to rescue it!I think maybe I have overwatered it and now its raining on it too!
    Kids all played me up this morning and I got to school and cried...and shouted, now I feel even terrible about that!
    Have notched up 3 AFD but considering getting very drunk tonight to stop the pain.....
    Bet you wished you hadnt asked after me now.....
