    Hi all

    YM- sorry to hear about your lights, little monster...grrrrrrh

    BB- congrats on win- and make sure you spend it on yourself and not on extra pressies for others

    Miss P- I love Kirsty's programme too, except I wish it had been shown earlier in the year- I was getting all excited last night at having a go at making that lovely soap, then they said you had to dry them out for 6 weeks when you had made up the mixture, suppose it will have to be easter soaps for everyone instead. Def be making the chutney though.

    Hope everyone is good today and tonight, and where you want to be.

    Yes eselt....I`m nicely wrapped up on sofa with heating on & fire burning. Not going anywhere tonight...just going to relax & sort out some boxes...maybe a bit of TV is there is anything good on.

    LOL don`t need drink to relax anymore which is a nice feeling:D

    Good evening,

    Did some overtime and went to pick DD up straight from work, was tired, hungry, lonely as due to both BF and I being poorly we are not seeing this weekend and also frustrated cause ex is being a pain. So thought how nice it would be to have a drink. What has changed is that despite every now and again wanting to have the feeling that I would get after a glass or two of sherry I don't actually want to have the drink anymore to get there. So going to have chilled evening doing something else, I don't know as yet what that will be.

    I have sent yet again another job application to be able to move closer to BF. If I get that job I really don't want/need anything else for Christmas (except perhaps some nice ham and chocolate - not together mind :rotfl:)

    Back with the scores after DD is in bed.

    Today is an AF day for me, went out last night and had a bit too much wine... alright I got far far too drunk :wall:

    But - no injuries or lost property so it's a question of jumping back on the wagon... so still on 4 days AF but not drinking again until Monday night.

    Some good news - I passed my law exam, so just one more to go and I will be free from studying and nearer to qualification!! I am so happy I have ordered a pizza and 7-up to celebrate! :A

    Other than that it is a quiet early night for me, apparently there is a Tonight programme at 8pm about whether pound shops are any good so I will watch that and catch up on Eastenders before sleep...

    Have a lovely evening everyone.

    Evening all.

    I'm ill male25-male-sick-ill-smiley-emoticon-000067-large.gif and feel very sorry for myself :(

    Over the past 3 hours I've got a sore throat, headache and aching all over. Haven't got a temperature yet but it's creeping up gradually, my face feels like it's bright red and on fire. Worst part is, I'm working both Sat and Sun doing the 11+ exams at school and I'm the only first aider available to work this weekend and you HAVE to have a first aider on site :eek:

    I've dosed myself up, about to put kids in bed and gonna crash in front of the telly for the soaps then taking myself to bed :(

    Moan over, hope you all have a lovely evening x

    ETA: Marru, that's 6 for me please, don't even fancy a drink :eek:

    I know, I know, but as I do the admin and the first aid I get paid for 2 people's jobs and I NEED THE MONEY!!

    Hopefully after an early night I'll be okay, it's probably alcohol withdrawals :rotfl:
