    No honestly Jo the month has not started yet so if you want to reduce that figure not a problem. We are just going into the starting blocks ATM the race has not started.

    Try to achieve the realistic but aim for the unrealistic :D

    :rotfl::TVery good 40sm.

    I'm trying to look busy aswell. Actually had an e-mail from someone in America this morning asking where her stuff was. Thought OMG, takes a day to do and I haven't started. Looked in the file and I did do it, just didn't send it. I'm losing brain cells rapidly I fear.

    :eek:

    Much love X[/QUOTE]

    I know exactly what you mean . Yesterday , one of our clients called up chasing up her payroll details .. I said " Oh, yes I did it yesterday and put them in the post .... (I wasn't lying!!. ) I said I would e-mail her the details so that she could pay her staff. Anyway I looked in the file ... You Know whats coming don't you ?...... I had NOT done them and I could have sworn.... ANYWHOOO ..... She's got them now so that should keep her quiet for a month. ;)

    I think its the job that we do ...... kills brain cells !!:rotfl:

    Must get back to looking the executive that I am not :rotfl:

    Catch you later.

    Yes. I remembered you had your liver tests back. It is hard isn't it. I personally don't think I could ever stop drinking totally. When I spoke to my GP today I do know that I did used to drink much more so I feel at least I am making some progress.
    (Gin and grapefruit juice sounds bizarre to me but then I hate grapefruit. This is from someone who admitted they drank malibu and milk though!:D)

    You are doing really well 115K, it is possible for some people to realise that they are drinking too much and cut down successfully.

    I always wanted to be a social drinker, but I don't think that's possible for me.

    Oh god, now you've got me waivering already!!

    I know that saying 30 is probably not a good thing as you need to live for the day etc etc.. but if I say, I dunno, 22 or something, I don't think I have the strength to stick to that.....maybe I do??

    Quite a few on here have gone from daily drinking to just on weekends haven't they. My problem is also the amount I drink. A couple isn't enough, or is it? Maybe I've not tried it properly.

    Oh man, look what you've started :rolleyes:

    ETA: how weird, just looked at the calender and 22 is the amount of Sun - Thurs there are in Sept!
