    However, I have also spent lots of money on a new dress & random shopping in Ikea... :o

    Ikea..... curious which one.... you may have been just a 'spit' from me.. we could have had a meet over a swedish hot dog...!!!!!!!

    Hi guys,

    I have just been skimming through the posts. It plays havoc when you have to catch up on a few days you know :eek:

    I have gotta say that one of the most heart warming posts for a while is hearing from the Lovely Sea and that she is doing so brilliantly :T I remember she posted prior to going to AA when she was worried that she had gotten so drunk and that her students had taken her home and she was so worried that her children would be taken off her. I mean she sounds so well now and in a much, much better place. I am absolutely chuffed to bits, well done Sea and thankyou for letting us all know how you are. Big hugs Angel and lots of love :A (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    To our lovely Fay, hugs sweetheart, pah to your ex and his total lack of any consideration. (He is muppet). But so pleased to hear that your children are back with you now. Sorry no more af days to report, though tomorrow will be and then I shall have made my total 15. Hugs (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Dear Jo, I have gotta say: you are now a hoover :eek: Honey Bear has more influence than we all think :confused: I guess her persistent chasing you around with one has finally rubbed off :rotfl::rotfl:Hope you are ok mate? Hugs (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxx
