    Weeding goes on and on and.............

    Numbers are good. Need to go higher.

    Sis and husband are making me a project, Mrs Mac not hugely impressed. She's going to let them go so far, then rein them in, I think. I'm her project:o

    We got the thanks button back then! I wonder how many times that will be repeated round the boards :D


    Interesting day for me.

    Did BBQ at BIL's, although it did start to rain at one point, but a little rain never stopped me before, I've BBQ'd under umbrellas alot :cool:

    Right as I said earlier, BIL and SIL are both nice people, both wouldn't hurt anybody on purpose, both know about my problem.

    So I cook dinner bring in food, what do you want to drink? beer or wine, (from SIL) Ummm mind goes blank, cos I hadn't been planning to drink anything, quick thinking, beer wouldn't get me !!!!!! so quick............."beer" wasn't until a few hours later I realised I could have said orange juice or something.

    So speckled hen in hand, ate dinner, drank half a pint of SH, left half, good...............
    Had a cup of tea......good

    SIL again, do you want something to drink? "Nope got some beer left over from dinner thanks", so she gets the glass for me and hands me it, together with another bottle half poured in and half a spare bottle...........I just froze, and said thanks, of course, as you do.

    Drank that and then we left, going to carry on drinking now, after 2 pints of SH nothing could stop me.
    Struggled as OH drove.
    Went past one OL, stopped at last one for cigs, I sent the OH in so I wouldn't buy anything.

    Not carrying on drinking tonight, it was a long journey home, hour and a half, feeling to drink had calmed down by the time I got home. But on the way and outside the OL.........was bloody hard.

    so epic over :o

    May be worth fixing in your mind what drink to ask for before you get to any social occasions.
    Good on you for not carrying on though :T

    Yeah, but normally, its, what do you want to drink? and then I could have said orange juice or something.

    Anyway, feel OK now, Hey! Am I a social drinker now...................yep, when I get rid of the gut wrenching longing afterwards :rotfl:
