    Thankyou Honey Dear, good luck for tomorrow. I am sure your problem will get sorted. But I shall pop on later and see how you have got on? Big hugs and take care (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Ps you are doing a fab job of scoring my little bear friend :T

    Budgie is in such a good mood today :j I don't know why really :confused: but hey I am not knocking it ;) I am looking at doing some volunteer work and I have found a phonelink care line which is manned 365 days a year, it provides a helpline for elderly and vulnerable people in our area. So I have sent them an email as I feel I could really contribute in a positive way. I have, if I say so myself a very good telephone manner. ;)

    So really I am taking steps to changing myself, as our Graeme advocates. You are so right Gc it is about changing yourself and by the end of 2010 I aim to be a better me and to look back and think hey this year has not been so bad after all.

    I feel really positive on doing 365 af days, I nipped to Aldi after work, the wine isle is by the checkouts, I marched down it nochanatly (sp) with quite a swagger and said to myself I don't drink :cool:

    Now ain't that a cool thing?

    So lets bring it on ................. I AM FEELING THE FORCE ;)

    Love n hugs and all good things
    Budige xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Oh and one more thing .....................

    Graeme I have just been reading back at some of your posts, and I just wanted to send you a very big Budgie hug ((())) you always give good, sensible advice, which I always digest and take on board. But I think that you should be given thanks more often, I know that is not what is important to you but never the less. I JUST WANT TO SAY THANKYOU MATEY :A
    I hope that I will not let you, myself or the thread down and that I will do 365 af days? You always say that the desire to change oneself must be there, I feel that I have that desire now and long may it burn in my soul. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Welcome to Lincs1205 good luck sweetheart, you have definitely joined a good bunch of people. (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Im this months charm comes one day closer, sweetheart. Hugs (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Pricey nice as always to see you hunny. (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Marru well done to you too sweetheart. (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    And for the 125th time of asking "WINEBOX WHERE ARE YA GIRL"?

    Btw 69 Chick if you are about at all, are you still doing your voluntary work? If you are how is it going? Hugs (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Eselt thinking of you Angel (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • At last! I can declare 1 AF day today Honeybear thanks.
    Managed to insist to myself (or the debating society as GC so aptly calls it) that there is no reason/excuse at all to have a drink today.
    Taking it one day at a time!

    Congrats to lots of people for doing really well.

    Best
