  • Oh I 've not FB since last night - :)

    Well done on all the blethering :)

    MP sounded as if she had fun I think

    OH is away home - he says he's given his work an ultimatum - ie work from home here or lose him

    I hope it works - insert incredibly scared smiley

    Out in the field and I feel dead today busy weekends always do that to me!
    I must be getting old

    Jo glad the hoover is plugged in - I own two but am not currently sure of their functionality - am allergic to both hoovering and ironing.

    Very allergic

    As to shutting up the constant calling for alcohol - I think there are lots of great tips on here - I'm a fan of PJ's, baths and making it difficult to get out of the house to buy any alcohol - makes me think why on earth I'm doing it

    Will score later on - lots of great scores this month :)

    Waves to Jo - nice to see Lurks is keeping you right with the pie making :)

    I had a dream I met Jo last night, we were discussing alcohol quite unsurprisingly.:p

  • Jo - hope you've got that hoovering done. Thanks for your advice re AA earlier.

    Hope everyone with kids at home is enjoying half-term :D

    I'm a bit allergic to hoovering myself! I think my son was 6
    when he asked "what's that?" when he saw me hoovering.
    Made it sound like I hadn't done any hoovering since he was born!:rotfl:
  • Its me again, for those who know me.

    I can see a pattern now, lots of me posting when I am doing well being alcohol free and periods of disappearance when I am not.

    Hence my disappearance over the last - what is it - 3 or 4 weeks??? :o

    I sit here typing, yet again, tears in my eyes, large drink at my side. Dear dear me..........

    I want to give up but I can't do it.

    I am drinking more heavily than I was before. I am thinking every day, "when can I have drink when no-one can notice?".

    Just my musings for today. If I wrote about my inner thoughts I would be here all decade........

    Hugs
