The giving up/cutting down alcohol thread part VI

Hi everyone. Shaggy - it's 4 for me now please and tonight I'll be going MAD with a job application - Jo if you're around, I'd be grateful for any tips seeing as you're the expert on such matters! It's for an Office Manager job in a primary school - only just seen the advert and the closing date is tomorrow so there's not a minute to lose. Hope everyone's OK tonight. Bye for now xx

I'm as MAD'er than ever tonight making it 4AFD so far this month

I'm also glad to be MAD as I have another reaction on my eyes again so a good job I'm not drinking so that's one reaction less

I'm MAD'ly making a nice noodle and prawn soup - let's see how it turns out - along with a glass of fizzy fruit and water mixture

Off for now see you all later on, plus a big hug to Marru for the BF trouble, Fay for your OH's family circumstances and Jo who has never ending issues at the moment

Marru

Sparkles, I don't have BF trouble (he doesn't know about the watch yet :rotfl:) Just some debtbusting and ex trouble. I am going to take an evening off from all the trouble tonight thou.

Oooh - I am redoing my running training programme...yes yes I know should be studying...will be as soon as DD is in bed which is in 5 minutes...

Hi everyone, Hi Marru - glad to see you're not 'studying' on here and have got off the forums at least !!

I'm having one of those weeks but I'm still determined to be AF tonight. I was feeling very down and depressed the last two days. I drank a bottle of wine (13% 750ml = 10 units) last night and waking up this morning was really tough. I'm still sticking to my alternate days thing well. The main area I need to improve now is keeping myself to less booze on the days I do drink. I've had 37 AF Days this year so far. It took me until June in 2009 to get that many days AF so I'm really pleased with that.

Hope you're all having a good day, I'm going to be MAD with Lasagne and West Wing tonight.

hello everyone

AF again today - am so pleased with myself at the mo! I am beginning to find it so much easier to remain AF - I'm not saying I never crave it but am getting there!

Hugs to Marru, Fay and Jo - sound like things are tough at the moment - I'm thinking of you all.

A lovely tea prawn and noodle soup - HM and was gorgeous! Having the leftovers for tomorrow nights tea - all done and ready to reheat and cook the prawns. Nice and easy Fri tea

Also scoffing half a Creme Egg Easter Egg which are 97p in Mr T's - a nice price treat with 2 creme eggs inside too - a repeat purchase tomorrow

Now I am nice and hydrated after drinking some pomegrante and raspberry presse stuff which is the nicest stuff I have had to drink AF for a while - off to stock up tomorrow on the way to work in the morning and get 2 for £3.

The eating and drinking has made meal feel better and less down like I felt earlier on after a little challenging day at work. Meaning the little bit of temptation I felt today on my way home from work in the sunshine passing a billboard with a bottle of beer being advertised and my lower mood - left me after tea and some pop and with no cravings

Feeling better now, hope everyone else is ok on here too

Another day to go tomorrow then its the weekend - yipeeeeeee!!!!!!! No rugby this weekend - boooooo!

Pippilongstocking

Hey chaps just touching base to say goodnight and thanks for all the goodwishes

I promise normal stripey power resumed next week

I'm flying on Friday late afternoon and back on Tues

Not sure when I'll get a chance to look in on you all - which is a shame because you guys are my virtual family. Will try and pop in past as/when I can to make sure you're all up to your MAD march challenge. xx

Morning off tomorrow so I hope to be productive - lots of things to post for amazon sales, will hope to be sorted enough to pop to the house inbetween cooking and packing.

I'm going to go to a snowdrop garden when I'm away - in Fife - its gorgeous - just to go and think and get some battery recharging - taking my digital SLR so I hope to bore you all with some photos!

Much love chaps! x

Take care Fay

maman

:hello:YM, Bon soir, I imagine you must be on a nightime assignment?

:grouphug: for you Fay in case I don't catch up with you before you set off. Take care and I hope all goes as well as these things can. Your brother is a real star for stepping in to cover.

Not AF tonight (went out for a meal which was disgusting). :T to everyone who has gone MAD tonight.
