    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Morning all

    Up a bit earlier today and feeling a bit more "with it" IYKWIM???

    Can't remember if I said yesterday but OH was up half the night, the night before last, with an ear infection. In the end he finally listened to me and went to the walk-in centre at 2.30am. Got antibiotics etc. But that meant we were both up till about 5am. Yawn! I do NOT cope well with disturbed nights (so god knows why I ever had a child:rotfl:).

    Then yesterday morning I bashed my head on a shelf in Piglets room. Have a lovely little lump on my head now :(.

    So all in a ll a bit of a rubbish day. I popped in the shop on the way home to get something for tea and absentmindedly found myself wandering round the alcohol aisle!!:eek: I looked at wine, cider, lager and those silly alcopops things and came away with nothing:T. In my mind I was thinking "Ok, if you want it chose something". But I didn't actually WANT anything. Thats a step forward for me. I'm not saying there won't come a time when I WILL fancy a glass of lager or cider, I'm just saying that I seemed to have edged slightly away from the mentality of drinking for the sake of it. And surely thats what its all about:question:

    Anyway, enough rambling from me. Busy morning as we are off away to the seaside tomorrow. Seemed to have created lots for myself to do today!:eek:

    Have good days all...catch up later!

    Miss P

    Morning Shaggy, morning all!

    I'm up to 13 MADs now. Last night was MAD with OH drinking which was a good reminder of how boring drunk people can be.

    Feeling a bit overwhelmed with RL at the moment but going to try and be positive today.

    Have a great day everyone, I'll try and catch up on the last few pages later on.

    Let's see if HB is friends again tonight?

    Obviously I didn't post last night cos I was ignoring you... :p

    No, was taken out by a friend for my birthday, which is tomorrow :D Hope you're not too achy after step torture ;)

    Fay, sending you big stripey hugs. That all sounds pretty horrible. Hope you're all better soon :)

    Miss P, sorry about your bump :( Have fun packing for your weekend ;)
