    Morning everyone

    forgot to post yesterday - was my 12 AF day. Feel sad and emotional today - one of the childrens friends Mum has terminal bowel cancer and the docs have told her it's just a matter of time.

    Things like this unsettle me hugely yet I know I am going to need to be a huge support to others - I also know it's selfish to worry about me when she is goimg through such a dreadful time.

    Sorry for bleak tone of message - I honestly have no one else to tell.

    Hugs Hollie.So sorry to read your news. I hope that you find the strength to deal with this as AF as possible.I wish the lady well.

    Grappling around for major strength myself at the moment.Massive family issues going on:o

    Take care of you
    Love Mollypollyxxxx

    Had a bit of a light bulb moment this morning driving to work.

    I'm 37 years old !!!!!! and am acting like a child by allowing alcohol to control me :mad: this makes me very angry :mad:

    I hope I continue to feel like this over the next few hours, I'm already getting the bells ringing *insert eyerolling smiley* (where the hell has the eye rolling smiley gone, that was my fav :mad:)

    there's a thread about it in the feedback forum. that and the shruggy smiley were removed as they were used to take the mick and make newbies feel unwelcome apparently *rolleyes*

    Good luck jo :T :T

    Just had a read of the feedback thread! I think we should campaign for the removal of :beer:. It could be responsible for driving us to drink and I find it totally offensive:p
