Of course you're not judgmental Miss P, I meant to agree with you completely. Guess I worded it wrong.:o

Sorry Maman, was feeling out of sorts last night and read it completely wrong. I'm an idiot.:o

Morning all

Sheepish Miss Piggy here (now THERES an odd image!?):o

Maman...very sorry...in my defence, I did have a stinking headache yesterday afternoon. I still feel bit dodgy today actually, slightly dizzy. Taken some pills so hopefully should kick in soon!

And on top of a headache me and OH were sat trying to work out finances for when Piglet goes to school. I was going to change my hours at work so I worked 9.30-2.30 instead of 4-8 but that means I would have to give up my Mrs Mop job at my SIL's and would end up slightly worse off. Tried to figure out a way of giving up work and doing more Mrs Mopping...but doesn't seem like it will work . Whatever happens, I WILL be there to take Piglet to school and when he comes out at the end of the day. Its the one thing I won't compromise on. Lots more thinking to do methinks.

Marru - glad you found the dog!
HB - thank-you for being my voice of reason!:rotfl:

Someone's got to keep you in order

Sorry you're not feeling so great *hugs* Hope the pills kick in & you perk up soon

I'm not exactly qualified to offer any thoughts or suggestions in the Piglet school finances situation, but I can fully understand you wanting to be there at the start & the end of the day. I'm sure there will be ways to manage it

Right, I'm off to clean the windows of Bear Towers :A

I've remembered what I was going to say....

I feel like I am at a similar stage to when I stopped smoking years ago. It took me ages to get to the point of stopping even though I thought about it every day. I then moved to very occasionally smoking and realised I didn't enjoy anything about it anymore and stopped and have never smoked since (11yrs ago now)

Maybe I am at a similar stage with alcohol - if I am truthful

Do I enjoy anything about it any longer? No - not really not even the taste now
Will I enjoy being a non drinker? Yes - I enjoy it now
Do I think I miss out on anything by not drinking? No - what is there to miss?

I have recognised at long last that it is my thirst that drives the triggers for my drinking and that alcohol does not satisfy the thirst. Pop and water do the trick better! Its only taken 20yrs to realise this! And only with all the help and support available on this thread

Maybe these 2 drinking days for this month and last month are me getting to the point of stopping for good. I feel it is what I want to do without any thoughts holding me back at long last.

The windows here are now sparkling (well, the smears & streaks are in different places! ). The floor is now filthy

No rest for the wicked... :rotfl:
