Morning all

There are quite a few peeps that haven't updated me on their numbers, some that have been AWOL most of the month too. Please come and update me, even if you've been naughty :rotfl:

Lurky, where the devil are ya

PIR,

I couldn't get hold of the counsellor people yesterday, phone was engaged ALL day!! Then it finally rang at 5.01pm and went to night service :mad:

Nevermind, not beating myself up. Did drink last night but didn't drink everything I'd bought which is a first. Am going out with OH tonight with some friends to a comedy club, we've not been out together without the kids for years, literally years so I will be drinking but will stay sensible and will have to sort my life out in the morning.

I definately need to get myself sorted for the :grouphug: on Monday.

xx

TIME2GROWUP_2

Morning one and all....

Lots of lovely sunshine here, and i'm going to London... hurrah... luckily its only 30 mins on the train..

Like you Jo, I will be out tonight, i've never got on with that alternate alcohol with soft drinks malarky, but do find if I have a glass/jug of water I can sip that alongside the naughty stuff.. maybe you can try the same.. damage limitation and all that...! have fun, and thanks for altering score.. not that I shall reach my original target of 18 anyhow's but it looks better...:D

Have a lovely weekend everybody....xx
And don't forget to sign up for Group Hug Day Monday...:grouphug:

Hi everybody :hello:

Thanks for all the congrats. Thanks for the pic, Jo! Have a really good time tonight, Jo, you deserve a great night out with Mr Jo.

I'm going to be AF tonight, so I look OK and have my wits about me to go to see scary MIL tomorrow, and be able to deal with the inevitable nasty comments :eek:

Have a lovely day everybody. The radio 4 weatherman says make the most of today's sunshine .....

Bi for now xx

Hello
Maman - he lives in central scotland - sometimes he drives (4-5 hours) and a ferry and sometimes he flies 1.10 min flight

We met when I lived in Orkney before, then I moved down to do my masters and 'give it a go' so we lived together for 3 years and I found I couldnt reconcile my life with the life he had so I had to move back to the island for the sake of kids sanity and my sanity so neow we have done the commuting thing for 3 years - not fair on him I guess - but the alternative wasn't working for me.

Waves to you all - BHB sorry about the rellies - people are so odd when my granpa died I got the offer of the house, I took 3 of his favourite hats, 3 pairs of socks, and his old gardening jacket and a tartan shirt and his rucksack.

I wear them all now and again, the kids play with the hats and I wear his socks sometimes to feel brave - i use his bag most days and feel he is with me.

I love gardening in his old smelly waistcoat - its like he's with me. Always.

Not anohter AFD for me - out and had alternate soft drinks which seemed to work as we only had a couple of drinks.

Waves to you all

Enjoy the comedy club Jo- and will help you make that Cake!!
