  • Thanks, HoneyB. The bells are CLANGING, CLANGING. CLANGING. I'm trying and trying to ignore them and think how fantastic I will feel tomorrow if I don't cave in. And I've run out of Ribena!

    Congratulations, Fay - you should have told us first, we hadn't forgotten your hints a few weeks ago, you know!!!

    Good luck all, enjoy your evening AF or non-AF.

    Sorry chaps skullks in all embarrassed like -More of a muddy horse than a dark one....:o its on my diary! Nowt soppy going on - honest - there will be mud, leaves and mud. Had been in such a dark place yesterday with drinking on Thursday I didn't want to then shout out about it all on Friday xx

    Sorry wasn't being all mysterious, just didn't need to make all the threads I visit about me you'd be bored senseless!!!

    Email yesterday from OH said simply 'I know you are really busy right now, but what are we going to do about this wife/husband thing?':rotfl:

    Think forest, think wellies - that's it really! Bit silly really been married before and bit well, scared! Mid October in Autumn when the leaves will be pretty.

    Someone's trying to convince me ot visit london cos it might be fun to have a night out down there...............where is the darling girl??

    Didnt' want to detract from our good support etc

    Hope there's not too many bells clanging tonight

    But how do I know for certain if I don't just try to have one glass?
    As time goes on I have started to wonder about this.

    The experience of many people I have come into contact with who have tried this.
    In addition, were you ever happy drinking just one glass and then thinking 'that's enough for me, I don't want any more' ??
    I know I wasn't, and if I started drinking again one drink would not satisfy me.

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Just popping in before bed, I've not been AF tonight, but have managed to just have a couple of glasses of wine which is a huge improvment on a couple of bottles which had become the norm on a Sat night :o

    Off to bed now to listen to the wind and rain (I quite like it!!), hope everyone is ok tonight,

    Nite, nite

    Mari xx
