  • Morning!

    Ermm not so good with the faffing this weekend. Drank Friday night and last night. Only had half a bottle of wine last night which considerig we had friends over for a meal was good for me, but really annoyed with myself as if I am honest I didn't even enjoy it :(

    Feel ok this morning (just narky with myself for being so weak) and taking the girls ice skating in a bit so should be good fun.

    Well done to everyone else on here - you are all doing brilliantly :A

    Fay - hope you had a great weekend - still just on 3 FAFFS I'm afraid :o
    Will definately faff tonight and aim to faff all next week! Very conscious of the fact that I have pledged 24 faffs this months and have so far used up 3 of my 4 drinking nights!!!

    I'm done my 6th faff now but Sunday is my night after working all weekend i usually drink, actually who am i kidding, it's the night when having worked hard all sat night i then justify my drinking because i've had a single night off of it! Going for another faff tonight see if i can do two weeks straight, on my 11th day now so on the home run :j

    Morning all :D

    Mookie, go for it! Depending on the type of school, i.e. size, primary or secondary etc, then an Office Manager's job can be quite secretarial. Plus you get to be in charge of the office ;) let us know when the application arrives and what you think, good luck :)

    Shelly, don't beat yourself up, today's a shiney new day :) enjoy the ice skating, though how anyone could enjoy that is beyond me :rotfl: I'd be black and blue :eek:

    Miss P, baking, obviously :cool:

    Lamarsi, well done :T how are you feeling? Are you noticing a difference from when you were drinking?

    Morning Saorsie :wave:

    I really should be doing some housework but woke up with an incredible headache, kids are tormenting each other and I wanna go back to bed, thank god I haven't got a hangover to boot!

    Oh no hope you feel better soon :(

    Difference...well my waist line has gone in, I've lost 4lb this week !! My skin is a lot better, I sometimes (esp after a sess) get a rash on my eyebrows and on my hair line which has gone completely :j I'm sleeping better although I'm still in the habit of drinking in the evening (tea) so the 1st hour or two in bed i constantly need the loo! I'm up early every morning for uni and don't feel embarrassed talking to my friends for the first couple of hours in case they can smell vodka breath (is this just me?) I've saved almost enough to buy my 1st pair of ugg boots!! I've earned around twice what i normally would in my taxi because 1) I'm up early to work (see vodka breath) and 2) I'm not rushing to finish work so i can have a drink, we had to log some of what we'd eaten and drank this week for one of our lessons and the results of mine was

    ciggies smoked...........................0
    alcoholic drinks (units)...............0
    sausages eaten (?!?)...............0

    I thank god they didn't do it a couple of weeks ago :whistle:

    Yeah I bet, you would've been really embarrassed admitting the amount of banger's you'd put away (*rolleyes*) :rotfl:

    Are you a black cab driver or a mini cab driver?

    Very very well done, I hope that Fay will get to send you the stripiest (sp) socks ever :D

    lol my friend admitted to 10!! 10 sausages in a week :o and like the doc says double the number they admit to!

    I've got a private hire mini cab, it's the same around here for the licence but if a wanted to have a hackney (black cab) i could pick pl up of the street, I used to drive one but you really end up picking the dregs up (ie me...) and being a woman late at night i didn't feel safe! OHHH stripy socks to go with my new boots!! :T
