  • Evening,

    To echo what MissP said, PAY DAY - woo hooooooooooooooooooo! :D

    Fay - I would do exactly the same. A bottle bought = a bottle drunk. Tend to get half way through and would know I've had enough but would still want more - and then it would seem pointless to just leave a little in the bottle so...Anyway, you've done brilliantly this month so onwards and upwards. PS bought the Muse CD - WOW, amazing!

    Scores are getting jumpier by the day - happy times!

    :jNot AF but calling in to catch up. Really looking forward to coach trip to see the fabulous Christmas lights and the sea!!

    fay, don't beat yourself up about last night, you're doing really well and I hope you enjoyed it.

    Hope everyone has a great weekend, great to hear from eselt, but starting to worry about some 'absent friends'. Where are you BHB??? And where's cazza?

    Miss P, sorry OH is upset but it does sound like his DD has heart in right place. Hope he has a birthday to remember despite everything.

    Love to everyone else, jo you're doing great and thanks for jokes (but remember it was darling Piglet who first told us about wine flu), good to hear you sounding a bit more perky BB and HB you sound as if you're over the worst.

    'night all.
  • Morning All

    Just popping head round door to make sure you are all behaving;);):D:D

    Been busy in Angel World this week so had no time to post or read....hopefully will catch up over weekend.

    Still AF...in fact I am honestly not thinking about the drink anymore....happy with my lime & sparkling water ( even though I fear I am addicted )....if it was a choice now between a glass of red & my new tipple I would go for the the lime. Sad I know!!!

    Anyway hugs to everyone & I hope you all have a fantastic weekend.

  • Hi Ange.

    Must say you are doing brilliantly :T Lime and water is not a bad thing to be addicted to ;)

    Take care

    Hi YM

    You OK....is it night shift tonight?

    Must say lime & water keeps me sane to deal with the t*sser over on the other board tonight....why do they always come out at night eh?

    My new theory when dealing with trolls....silence is golden...hope he`ll get bored talking carp to himself...LOL
  • Yep on the old nights again :rolleyes:

    Must admit I walk away from certain threads nowadays instead of getting involved.

    Must be getting old and sensible now :eek:
