    Welcome Mr Fox. I can certainly identify with what you say. I'm only a bit ahead of you on my 5th day this month. Glad to be going out tonight so
    can avoid temptation. You'll get there. Agree it is scarey but lots of people on here have given up or cut down a lot so it helps to know it can be done! :)

    Marru, is this a job you're going for for when you move? Good luck with the application.

    If I get this job I would move sooner than planned. I jumped when my phone rang today. But first time it was broadband sales man and second time tax credits :rolleyes:

    Shaggy cheerleader3.gif well done on achieving your target!!!

    Have done my second training towards 3 mile run and boy am I aching. Didn't think I can do todays session but when got started it was really good. And I have got already £5.- sponsorship money collected :D But perhaps after the run I should have eaten a banana instead of scoffing some fudge. Never mind. Better get DD to bed and then have a nice soak.

    HB can I have 20 please? Ta!

    Evening all! HB - my total is now 19 days. Mr Fox - welcome - if you can give up smoking, you can give up drinking - giving up smoking was the hardest thing I ever did but well worth it. Good luck to you - and to everyone else. Bye for now xx

    evening,

    welcome Mr Fox.

    So,I am finally guest free, the last left tonight, and I have at long last caught up with the thread.
    I have to say that here I have to be quite serious (although I'm not in RL) because I just think that if I'm not I could just let everything slip and that wouldn't be pretty. So I really appreciate the serious postings and they make me think. It's not that I don't like the chit chat it's just that I have to be focused on the journey I'm trying to make, IYSWIM. I like pretty much everything about this thread actually. So thank you everyone for all your postings.
    I have been disasterous on the AF front, tonight the bells were super strong at 6, quit edisconcerting as I felt I had been doing OK before the hols.

    Anyway, tomorrow I shall be back on the wagon. Have a nice evening everyone.
    Trying to keep in budget.

    A lovely AF 17 for me please HB and pleased to learn you're feeling a bit better.

    Welcome back Gien and will look forward to seeing you aboard the wagon tomorrow.

    Hi to Mr Fox and will look out for you on the thread - not been hanging around here long myself but it's a real inspiration and keeps me off the bottle.

    and shaggy - yeah you - way to go! :A

    Have a good evening y'all
