Jo - your OH knows you have an alcohol problem and he wants you to go to the offy to get some chocolate

Sorry .... but :o

Have I missed something ?

OK BHB ......time to leave ....

No BHB I agree with you and thats why I asked JO a couple of days ago if she had spoken to him and was he helping her.

I feel he is the key, and I to am confused.

But you are so right. (Flamed or not, it has to be said).:o

Hugs matey xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Jo I am so pleased you haven't gone out tonight but Bhb is right and your OH has to be more aware of the danger triggers. You need him now more than ever and I just hope that he is worthy of you and the love that you give him. Sorry if I am on my soapbox but this is serious and he does need to understand this.

You need help but especially from your OH. Talk to him and make him understand what the alternative is. I know he finds it hard to face after the death of his Dear Mother, but he will not forgive himself if he doesn't help you now.

You are on a roulette wheel and you need to stop gambling with your health for he sake of yourself and your adorable children. But of course you know this already.

As MP says your children deserve to have a healthy Mum.

:o Sorry :o But I feel so pationately about this and I want you to be well and to have the help of the people that love you.

You are lovely and should be cherished dearly. :A

Mental note ...... must learn to keep my mouth shut!

No mate sometimes we need to say things that are out of our comfort zone. If it is done with good intentions then so be it. I am with you 100% and I don't like to in anyway upset anyone but sometimes things need to be said.

We say them because we care.

You are a Diamond and personally I think you are fab :A Turkeys, goats and adopted parrots and all.

Found some secret stash caramels!! So didnt go out and now watching the office with choklit and coffee. Thanks all x

Thank goodness for that Jo (((hugs))) I read through earlier posts then had to see to DS2 who was screaming the house down. Had to pop back in and check on you though X

We're all feeling a little tense in the house right now. A BIG worry has us all worrying funnily enough. Hopefully by tomorrow afternoon things will look okay again.

I haven't reached my target because I had a LARGE glass of red with my dinner tonight. Nothing else in, so not too bad I suppose Did the brisket in the slow cooker. Mr FH saw it coming out and turned his nose up at it. The cheek of it! But with the lovely gravy it made poured over and some Aunt Bessies roasties and veg, he declared LOVELY! You must do that again :rotfl:Little ones loved it too which is always a bonus

Off to bed now.

Night night X

Hi everybody :hello:

Well, I made it to 11 AFDs this month, so achieved the low target. But it is reassuring to know other parents have struggled to maintain their AFD-ness throughout the school holidays!

Jo: really pleased you found that stash of caramels. I was going to suggest chocolate spread, if you have any? I find the odd teaspoon-full helps sometimes

Budgie: I am SO GLAD you are back doing your long, personalised posts!! You really do talk a great deal of sense, you know. I'm very pleased you had such a lovely time with your DS in London. He certainly does have a luxurious lifestyle! But he is earning good money, and has worked very hard to get to where he is. I'm sure he is sensible enough not to over-spend. By the way, I think you would be very suited to some sort of counselling job - but I know you are an estate agent!!

HB: sorry, didn't realise it is a Scottish word

My DD1 is back home from her holiday in Kos with her mates! :T We all went out for a pizza (using some Tesco vouchers, very MSE). I wasn't tempted to have any wine, thank goodness. Mr PIR was in one of his argumentative moods, which upset DD1, but we managed to avoid any arguments basically by ignoring his stupid remarks which were meant to antagonise us. This man certainly drives me to drinking too much wine sometimes, but I try not to do this for the sake of my children. :mad:

Night night everybody - 1 more day left in August before things start to return to normal :j xx
