    Evening everyone

    My word, lots of chat on here tonight!

    Budgie - Its good to hear from you. I'm not surprised you're feeling emotional. Lots of ((hugs)) from me and Piglet. We do so miss you when you're lurking and not posting.

    Cazza - you are doing sooo well! I'm really pleased you are finding the meetings helpful. Well done you!

    Sam - Have no idea what score is? But hope Aresnal win / won or my Dad will be in a mood tomorrow!:rotfl:

    Honeybear - welcome to the madhouse!;) Fantastic place though with great support from all the wonderful people on here!

    Gromit -welcome too!

    PIR - Don't panic about your tally for this month. Holiday are bound to make things difficult.

    Fay - hope you are doing ok and the bells have stopped clanging??

    Well, I think everyone is doing really well this month. I always find school holidays hard (and Piglet isn't even at school yet:rotfl:). Its just everyone seems in a bit of a "holiday" mood. I've found it really hard this past week and have almost slipped up a couple of times. But I just keep thinking back to that awful evening, how horrible I was to my OH, and that keeps me going. Its hard, but its worth it.

    I'm off to me bath now. Hoping for a better nights sleep tonight! (although me and Piglet fell asleep on the sofa today!!)

    Fay - completely with you on the hardness of this. Amazingly, I find it easier to DIET than to give up alcohol. How bizarre is that - that its easier to deprive my body of FOOD than Alcohol!?!?!?

    ((hugs))

    Well done Fay, sounds like you struggled but still going. I'll be less anxious in 15 minutes when the garage shuts and there is nowhere near enough to go buy wine or beer!! Guess a nice bath might help.....
  • Got windows wide open as U2 are playing at Hampden pretty close by. Not a huge fan, but live music always exciting.

    3 mins to 10pm - not enough time to make it to the offie/supermarket before closing time, phew. *Breathes out*...and relax.

    Night all.

  • Nite nite GG. Sleep tight. x
  • Has Fay gone to bed?
    I thought that you were going to get suitably dressed and come for a walk on my beach.
    It is a SSSI and I got told off for nicking plants from it.:o

  • Budgie, sweetheart, thanks for your message. What a tragic tale you have told us tonight. I hope you have a really lovely time with your DS in London - have a wonderful curry on Brick Lane!! (I've never been there and didn't even know it was famous for curries before you all started discussing it!)

    Miss P - thanks for your message of encouragement. These school summer hols seem to be endless! It's lovely to have the children here and not to have the stress of getting them all up in the morning, but it can get a bit intense!!

    Night night everybody xx
