    Ooh, I've been spotted! :p
    I'm always about Al Mac, like to keep an eye on you guys!
    Its now been a fortnight :) Had a few tough moments so far, and that annoying voice in my head is still there, trying to trick me, but I'm telling him to shut up :) Not listening to him anymore.

    I can recognise now that its my 'alcoholic' voice, and now I can tell, its easier to ignore. I don't have to please him. Typical that its a man isn't it lol, makes it easier - I'm used to tuning out evil male voices lol.
    Hows you situation these days AC?
    I'm just waiting to find out if I can get any money, then I can leave :j the plans all coming together, I do feel guilty, but gotta keep telling myself that if he didn't treat me so badly, I wouldn't be running away from him.
