Had an entertaining () moment earlier...opened my credit card statement & mis-read the available amount to spend as the balance :eek:

Was quite funny when I recovered & also made me think of all the times I've been in that situation the other way round :rotfl:

Evening,
I'm so tired this evening I was going to go to bed early but DH will be late back so...

No alcohol for me today - I really need my energy for the next couple of days and I've been following slimming world again so there's no point in eating healthily and low calorie and then just drinking it back on.


the bells are clanging rather loudly though right now. think I'll go and do some ironing to distract me!

Hey you - I hope you've recovered!

I'm on 21 AFD's

Left my mobile phone in the field - whoops - locked safely in the 'mobile office' but not much help tomorrow when I want to wake up!

Just 'popping in' to say another AF night for me tonight and HB.....you've done a great job so don't be hard on yourself

Whoever scores wins!

On 16 AFD now - much better than I thought it would be this month

I read some of the Living Sober book last night and it re jigged my mind about stopping. Do what you like, avoid if you feel you need to, ignore if you feel the need to, eat and drink to make sure you have enough food and fluids and can help the cravings.

Decision made so far is to not go tomorrow and tell all tomorrow I don't fancy a big drinking night out.

Replacement plan is to have a curry from the freezer, squash and watch a dvd instead then get up early on Sat and have a nice day out somewhere instead of feeling groggy.

Why are cutter downers or stoppers seen as lame and boring by some younger ones? That time is behind me now. I don't think they mean it really it is just they are still full of the flush of youthful exhuberance and don't mind wasting the weekend recovering and there is no way I am returning to that!

I find it difficult to let go of the past when I was the last one standing on a night out in the early morning haze, and forget sometimes, I am not that person anymore and I am happy with who I am now

Budgie - I think it was me with the same dilemma last year sometime I think anyway as I think this almost everytime regarding this!
