    I asked someone at work if anyone had told them they had verbal diarrhoea, the other day, very funny, but only cause i can't stand waffling :)

    Still, one day at a time.....best of luck to everyone X

    Well done you for walking away, I think it shows that your OH can stop easily after that one, but you couldn't........ I don't think he has that much of a problem, although he still might drink too much.

    I think everyone should note, AL can't stand waffle, so the next person to waffle on the thread will be shot, at dawn, with a blindfold. Either that, or pay the entire threads chocolate budget for a month.......... so I'll just ready the gun shall I?
