    Hi WB - Yes we've missed you :D;)

Bacon - ??? Nope ...run out. Though two piggies going off tomorrow though so back to the abattoir, but not until 8.00am :cool: Bacon and bangers in a fortnight yum yum.

    If anyone reading this has tried cutting down and 'failed' please think about just going for it and giving it up. Your life doesnt come to a grinding halt in fact it's like the brakes have been taken off.


    !:o

    Hiya :wave::wave:

    I'm back.I have only read the last couple of pages so will catch up properly later.
    I have quoted PBT above as I totally agree.I have just had the best weekend ever with our lovely 'new'family.We have fitted so much in over the last few days and not got to bed before 3am every night.We tried to fit 30years into 4 days:).
    There is no way I would have survived this if I had been drinking.I know I would have ruined everything with drunkeness and hangovers....but instead I feel sooooooo happy.

    If you are struggling to cut back then please consider giving up totally....as PBT says...it can be done and it really is worth the effort.

    Good luck everyone.....and well done to all Faffers.

    16 for me please Fay

    Love Mollypollyxxxx

    Hiya MP .....why do I get the impression you are looking at me when you said that :o:rotfl:;)

    Glad you are back safe and sound.

    Lamarsi - veganism. I used to be veggie, but couldn't go as far as veganism I don't think.

    We decided instead after a while to rear our own meat as we know how it is treated and reared and ultimately slaughtered.
    And really we respect the animals and make the most of them ... like Jo with her stock and chicken pie. (And of course the domestic god himself Lurky ;):rotfl:)
