awwww Fay & jo....have you two ever met up? Not sure if I should say you should or not??

Everyone's dinners sound great - I had an omelette & as usual tried to put too much in it so got scrambled egg. Tasted good, mind! But now craving everything everyone else has had - big shop tomorrow?! Glad I ate before Hev gave birth though; omg :eek: I think Shirl's the dad.

Day 3 of the month done...£24 not spent then. Tomorrow will be hard as I fall under the pernicious & persuasive influence of OH, all day.....my tried & trusted expression "bog off" might have to be brought into play. I really don't want to let the 72 hr team (or myself) down....

Off to bed now, out all day tomorrow but HOPE to report in a success tomorrow evening. Good luck to all of yous!

I've had a bath and I am now going to get into bed with my book (even though it's quite a boring book so far so I might just nod off. )

I think it is so helpful to come on here and discuss what has been going on for us. I like it that so many people "get" the need for fizzy drinks and yummy food and distraction techniques to try and get some AF days.:T Some of the things people type on here could have been me typing them and it's nice to know there are other people in the same boat as me.

Anyway nite nite.:A

Evening all.

Hope the AFers(that sounds mighty dodgy!)are doing O.K.

To answer Fays question.I have a sponsor,she is the first Alcoholic I ever spoke to,she has been sober since 1994,today we are very close friends and in contact on a daily basis.Like RA I have a lot of other friends I can speak to as well.

Enjoyed Eastenders tonight,love the baby and cant wait to find out who the Dad is.:D.

Watching Around the World in 80days now,poor Nick looked mighty ill after his over indulgence in wine!

May popin later if not sleep tite all.:A

I have never had a sponsor, just friends who I can share with.
I however prefer the word mentor.


You have been a mentor for Jo.:A

GG I have such a dilema, I mean I am out with friends on Saturday night, which means I shall miss the X FACTOR :eek: I know, I know its just so awful/ :eek: I feel a headache coming on :rotfl:

I'm out Sat night too - AAAAAAAAAARGH! Hoping to stay in a bubble away from the papers etc and watch it on stvplayer before the Sunday night show.

So, this morning was the first day since I stopped drinking that I woke up and thought "Oh my god, what did I do last night!" - yes, it's true, I volunteered for the Nov scoring! :rotfl:

It might be a shambles but the best intentions will be there!
