    Good morning to everyone.
    Different corner....I agree about the sitting having a lovely meal and chatting over a glass of wine.(This is what I miss)
    I sometimes think that I could now do this and not drink any other time and would love to try.....mmmmm

    But actually....I am now frightened of alcohol:eek: and don't know if I could control it......cunning,baffling,controlling stuff that it is.

    I wonder ......Eselt,Bismarck,RA etc.....do you feel like this.I don't actually crave it anymore but still want to try it again to see if I could take charge this time:confused:

    Very confusing.
    Have a good day all.
    Catch you later
    Love Mollypollyxxxx

    Bit of a waffle there....sorry.

    Not doing too well at the moment - had a couple of glasses of wine the last few days - still - at least I am not getting plastered and finishing the bottle each time - will try for an AF day today and tomorrow
    Back to comping! July wins: Frylight August wins: Pixar DVD, Diesel Watch,£75 hamper brioche products September wins bath soak

    Thanks to everyone who posts comps and help :beer:
  • Morning
    I sense lots of positive vibes for September, I'm actually looking forward to it.
    .

    DC~ I so know what you mean about looking forward to September . I am really looking forward to getting back to the usual routine ( apart from the school run:eek:). As I am earning less money during the holidays , we had a few scary moments yesterday when we had to pay some " forgotten " things and were left with a " few coppers" in my purse. Luckily some money went into the bank today so we survived... just. In September I MUST get on top of my debt-busting and be in control.

    Most importantly, September is an new month on the AFD front . September is going to be a good month;) And DS2 will be 8:eek:...how did that happen. Its strange DS1 was 8 at the start of the year ( now 9 )and DS2 will be 8 at the end of the year :rolleyes:. Little one will be 6 in November . Where have all my babies gone:confused:.

    I managed another AFD yesterday .... didn't have much of a choice really as you can't buy much with a handful of coppers can you ? On the money front.. I felt so stupid yesterday for spending so much money on wine at the weekend ... ended up skinning me :o

    Have a good day everyone.:D

    Oh I won't....I just have to look back to where I was:eek:.....but it's still strange isn't it....after all this time I am still willing even to THINK about having a drink.

    Right ...off to DD2 now to get nails done then fetch some more work to keep me good over the bank holiday.

    Catch you later
    Love Mollypollyxxxx

    molly. Sounds strange but after nearly 2 years not smoking I still occasionaly think about it :confused: so still thinking about drink is not that strange after a long term of abstinance.
