OH's idea of cooking something nice is putting the kettle on and making me a cuppa :rolleyes:, phoning a takeaway or asking which restaurant will we go to tonight

........ should have cleary done the initial 'dating' interviews better and investigated his cooking abilities - whoops

Strictly come dancing - wasn't that an old show - have they redone it - doh guess they have if everyones looking forward to it.

Don't get out much me........

Everybody that I know who has tried controlled drinking has gone back to where they were before they stopped.

aw Fh what a shame; put on a touch of mascara (sorry, bit flip...) glad you're feeling a bit better but, will you missing the dinner mean there are unresolved issues? Hope not; maybe you can see folks (that you want to) later? Get better soonest x

Hi WB~it's kind a very long story about one female relative and I. I always feel so emotional when I think about it. She's over from the US this week and is actually coming over to my house for DS2 birthday party tomorrow, so at least we will see each other then. I would love to offload some time, but not right now X

Hi everyone,

YM please amend my AFD tally to 4/27 - I'm AF today. I didn't end up drinking that much last night and I poured a lot of it down the sink. The rest of the bottle is in the fridge untouched. Even that amount gave me a bad night's sleep though and I've had some heartburn today, which I rarely get when I don't drink.

Jo, so sorry to hear about your aunt. xxx

Budgetbabe - if you want to chat through anything, please feel free to PM me. So sorry that you feel things are at breaking point with your marriage. I truly hope there is a way you can get through this, but if not, you know where I am.

Honeybear - hey, your mum's from Dukinfield!! I have lived in Dukinfield myself, but I am from Stalybridge originally, which I'm sure you must have heard of if your mum's from Ducky. I moved to Wiltshire over 4 years ago, but I do miss the North. My parents and one of my brother's are still there. I'm going up the week after next actually. Am excited about it

It feels late now, even though it's not really. Am getting tired so I will say goodnight.

Hugs
Caz
xxxxxxxx
