Oooooh Budgie, you must have spotted me over on the Chrissy boards! :xmastree:Yes organised I am this year, cracking on with things!

AF tonight after lots of fizzy pop today, have moved onto water now, such a crazy party animal I am these days!

Just for the wonderful scorer Miss P that makes 18 AFD

Hope the lovely Jo and Winey are ok tonight after they felt so bad last night and today.

I'm ok, just pottering about through the forum as there is nothing I want to watch on TV

Every time I drank again, a little part of my self-esteem died, and I knew I couldn't trust myself.

Thank you GC, once again you've knocked the nail on the head

Had a crap evening so far, caved in (which I already knew I was going to), reading GC's bit above is exactly what was going through my head when I got to the offy.

On the plus side (???), I only bought a couple. I am home alone, OH at mates, DD1 out up at the 02 with boyf and small kids in bed, lost the pigs in the garden, methinks it'll take a long long while to eat through that lot (cheers for the humiliation YM, thought that thread was long dead :rotfl: plus got bigger fish to fry now realising that I painted the bathroom and kitchen and discovered I'd prefer them painted in each other's colours iykwim, so back to square 1 :rolleyes:)

Got a chinese on the way home from dropping OH off, singapore noodles and peking ribs :drool: feel sick now _pale_

Taped XF to watch tomorrow with OH and DD1 (Budge, I cry too ) so gonna watch the corries I missed this week, last night's Enders and How Clean is Your House :cool:

Budge, so glad to have you back. It's funny as living in London, the places you visited we see quite regularly so don't bat an eyelid at it....it's weird when somebody actually WANTS to visit I hope you had an amazing time, your DS is so lucky to have such a lovely mum, I am not at all surprised he pulled out all the stops for your visit xx

Speak to you all later.

Congrats to all staying off the sauce tonight :j

That's what I'm trying this year and I'll probably get funny looks and 'why have you made this out of a flannel' :rolleyes:

Anyway all this planning is keeping me busy and away from Alcohol and night time drinking even now at the weekend

Good luck Jo and give it a go!

jo1972

I will do, plus looking into doing hampers like the beautiful one that Budge sent me a while back

Just watching Booze Britain, I can't believe how some of these people are still alike :eek: a group of 20 lads on a 2 or 3 night bender EVERY weekend :eek:

Make sure you follow this up, especially mention that you are a new online customer and you've not enjoyed the first experience, I would personally put it in writing to the head office. You should get a bit of compensation, probably only a couple of quid, but every little helps

OMG look at this, I would be so happy to receive this as a gift from someone, it's not about expense, so much thought and effort has gone in to it
