    Not feeling 'Under attack' but I know that 'Knowing me, knowing you' if I get stuck tonight I will send out an 'S.O.S' if I feel 'Gimme gimme gimme', but hopfully the night won't go 'On and on and on'.

    Hi everyone :hello:

    Heavens I am just catching up on the posts and ..........

    Jo sweetheart you sound so down and so totally fedup, life is it seems a merry go round of: dreaming of a better me and all of the things that my life could be? (Sorry its a line from a poem I was doing). I think that Grahame as usual has hit the nail on the head, it is I also believe that change comes from within a kind of inner strength and a desire that life will have a different outcome. I wish you well sweetheart but of course you know that already. :A I have amended your entry as having no target but of course the actual days you are af. I feel sad tonight reading your post .............. And if we could all of us on here would:

    GIVE YOU THREE WISHES IN THE STARS UP ABOVE AND SEND TO YOU, OUR HEARTS ON A RAINBOW FULL OF LOVE :A:A:A

    Take care Dear Jo xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Grahame C I really hope I say this in a way that will sound as I mean it to? I have thought for awhile that you are our: David Beckham, by this I mean that when I first joined this forum you had a sticky time when members did not always see the good in your posts. However now your posts are appreciated by everyone and so it has become that you are loved by all. So I just want to say: Thankyou my friend and ((())) thats a special Budgie hug for a special guy. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    40sm you are next on my list for a Budgie hug ((())) you have so much to cope with and you are always so supportive to everyone. So please do take care and look after yourself and of course your gorgeous boys. (3 in 3 years :eek:) The work they must generate? But still Mums and their boys, you must adore the bones of them. I know I do with my own Ds and though its hard work now for you, believe me it will pass in a heartbeat. Take care Angel :A xxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Winebox hugs to you to sweetheart and I have updated your total to 3 :T I am so glad you are here and I love reading your posts. Take care xxxxxxxxxxxx

    115k well done on 7 af days :T you seem to be very focused at the moment and I am so pleased to hear this. So keep up this resolve and good luck for the rest of May. Hugs xxxxxxxxxx

    :ABudgetbabe how good are you!!!!
    I've been on the moderation bench tonight with 3 small glasses of wine and i'm now off to bed with Orlando Bloom.:Dlots done for me today so quite pleased with myself. I'll have another push tomorrow with sorting the house work out, and a bit of uni stuff. Meeting my friend for a pub lunch tomorrow, but i'm driving and i'm quite used to that so i know it won't be a problem.
    Feeling quite focused today, defo better than last week, excessive bingeing just makes me depressed, which lasts for days.
    Love the abba posts, quick query fay is it that your sober now? i know i sing brilliantly when drunk, I also do dancing in the living room as well, must be a bonny sight, esp to abba ;)

    I never said my singing was good - just that folks don't appreciate it :)

    Glad the studies are going well :)
