The giving up/cutting down alcohol support thread! Part 5

Different_Corner

Awww Miss P, don't let them get you down. Energy wasted, better spent on piglet

I have to admit I've been giving it a hammering over the last few days. Am looking forward to having the house back to just us. As much as I love DH's family, without him - this is hard work. Think I'm knocking it back to get through. Don't get me wrong there's no arguments or such like, they are a very kind, generous sweet family. But I'd really like to slob out on sofa at some point....

Am looking forward to 30th when I can just stop.

Morning all

The hot water didn't keep me awake in the night with strange noises so I hope that's a good sign & that it's sorted, as it never used to make strange noises in the past

However, I still hardly slept & was convinced that every teeny noise was mice running mad round the place. Needless to say that when I finally braved the kitchen there's no sign they've been back :rolleyes:

Kitchen is sparkly clean & I'm now tackling the outlying bits of lounge the be properly de-moused. Have had to taken all the covers of the sofa, & they're is supposedly dry clean only :rolleyes:

Going to do some research on the Ikea site to see if I can get away with a low-temp wash instead

Miss P, I'm sorry to hear your news; don't know the details but suspect I would feel the same as you. Try not to let it get you down & enjoy the time you have with your OH & Piglet

Miss_Piggy_2

Thanks guys. Feeling a bit better now.

DC - I can see where you're coming from. Whilst its lovely to have people over, even if they are lovely, its nice to get your life back.

HB - put you covers through on 30'c wash and they should be fine. I used to do it with our old sofa.

Miss P, hugs to you, I hope you get it sorted out, it's horrible to feel let down like that (((())))

HB, good luck with the rest of the de-mousing today, maybe you should buy some poison today

I'mSad, congratulations on your year's sobriety :T and your honourary 'dad' status, I hope you scored a goal

Fay, have a safe journey darn sarf

I'm off to watch the Pantomime at the local theatre later (oh yes I am ), v. excited!!

All raring to go for day 2/365, will hopefully be able to start putting some money in my sealed pots from not drinking today

Hope you all have a great Bank Holiday :wave:

honeybear_2

Ooh, Miss P, you're psychic - I've just put 2 cushion covers in @ 30c for a test wash

Now need to compose a shopping list as I will be braving the outside world later :rolleyes:

I have been drinking too much too often over the past week or so. Starting to feel very unfit and down. So off to the gym soon on my bike despite the weather. Back to work for a few days tomorrow, so will not be able to drink wine in the evenings or will not be able to get up for work. Not sure about NYEve yet - if I don't have any wine, I will make my target for this month ... sounds like a great idea at the moment, but after 3 days at work??? And with 3 DDs at home plus the permanently stressed out Mr PIR?:mad:

HB: very sorry to hear about the mice problems. We had them at one time, they got in through a tiny hole in a brick, which we filled up. But it is SO unsettling until you know they are all caught. Best of luck. Target for Jan: 25 please, although I'm going to try to beat that number.

Have a good day everybody

PS Been to Next sale too. But I can't wait for the 75% Boots sale ... :T

Morning PIR,

You will feel so much better once you've had a few days drink free ('ark at me :rolleyes: no honestly, you will, I do remember what it's like to have a few consecutive AF days ), it can really drag you down. No sales for me, 2010 is going to be a frugal and money-wise year and I will be proud in the knowledge that all my bills are paid for and xmas will not come out of November wages :rotfl:

Gosh, I'm almost sounding quite positive :eek:

PRICE_IS_RIGHT_2

Yes, but Jo, I buy some of my next year's Christmas presents and birthday presents in these sales ... especially for MIL!!!!

Thanks for your message and enjoy the panto - you are a lovely mum
