The giving up/cutting down alcohol thread part VI

honeybear_2

This is partly copied from 40SM's thread as I had a sort of deal with her about posting aims/aspirations for the following year:


"This is a bit late but I did say I'd get back to you post-birthday about goals, aspirations etc for the next year. Well I haven't quite got that but I have worked out what I consider to be the main problems/issues in my life:

• being in debt
• not feeling fit/healthy enough
• being lonely

Haven't worked out what I'm going to do to address these things yet. But, & this is the good bit, these are all things that are within my power to change "

TBH, any suggestions etc will be much appreciated, guys

Evening all

I'm stuffed full of spag bol, victoria sponge and easter egg _pale_ May have overdone it a little bit!!:rotfl:

Jo - hair looks good! I'm with HB, Mr Jo must be a numpty! (in the nicest possible way obviously!!)

Did easter egg hunt round house with Piglet and step-kids earlier. Then put our wellies on on and went puddle splashing. Pretty good afternoon!

No bells for me this evening...but then I've had limited contact with in-laws today!!:rotfl::D

It's Dr Who time! :j

Finally caught up with you. Too much been going on to be able to reply to everything.

115 if you are still lurking and see this I so second what everybody else have said. Take time for yourself but please come back as nobody here is annoyed and just want to support you what ever it is that is right for you.

Pah for all stupid inlaws etc. I have to say that as I am very lucky with BF third time round I am also very lucky with MIL third time around. (At this moment MIL playing with DD and BF is cooking our tea while I am sitting on computer )

Fay: Safe journey back ooop nooorth. Just think about is: because your mum is the way she is you have turned the way you are and from where I am looking you are just wonderful.

Budgie: WOOOHOOOO to have you back. So sad to hear the news. You are doing the right thing to be there to support but also for not giving yourself away in the process.

Sparkles and HB: so well done on all the exercise :T. Only exercise I have done is to climb on top of British Camp on Malvern hills yesterday. It was pretty steep climb thou.

Jo: Love the hair!!!

Shaggy and WBF: Very smooth batton change and thank you so much both of you for raising to the challenge.

We bought some nice Schloer today for tomorrow's lunch so even if someone will bring wine I won't be tempted as prefer Schloer taste. Meaning that I will go for 30 in April and can participate to the Easter AF challenge. Oh, Mr S is doing BOGOF on Schloer.

Better log off shortly as I am getting yummy food smells and tummy is now rumbling...

HB - Nearly missed Dr Who - THANKS! Recording it now.

Jo - your hair is gorgeous.

Hi Guys and thankyou for the lovely messages :A

Its funny but I have been having so much trauma in my personal life and I have missed the support form all of you lovely people.

I have though of course thought of you all and I have hoped that you have all been ok. I of course forgot to say last night Hi and welcome to any of our new members. I have been awol but: "I AM BACK"

So its just a quick post now as we have to go and get Ds from the train station, (he nipped off to Chester to see an old school friend). They are sorting out another old school friends stag do for next weekend. The said groom is getting married and it will be a muslim wedding, I can't wait to see the pics Apparently he will be converting?

Just to pick up on a couple things so far:

Darling Jo, your hair looks fab, and you do have lovely eyes. :A(()) xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Talking of eyes: YM good to see you back mate, you had pootled off when I was last here. Talking of people pootling aka bimbling where is our Dear Lurky? Hugs to you both (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dear Fay hope all is well with you hunny? Mp where are you gal? Not to mention Bhb? Hope our lovely Graeme is ok too? Hugs to you all (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Pbt you are doing F A B my dear :T (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ms Honey B hugs sweetheart and the things you have listed can be changed, the debt will reduce but I know its hard to keep chipping away and some days thinking you are not getting anywhere but of course you are. Now we have better weather I think the feeling fitter and being healthier will come, (hey I have me own hopes pinned here). Re: Lonely? now that is I think the trickiest, I have realised myself that I have stopped doing a lot of things and lost touch with many friends. (Thinking of it, I put it down to being affected more than I realised by Mr Budgies illness, in a way I too became very low and unmotivated). Sorry I digress. Finding friends that we can trust can be difficult, so I would not go all out for lasting friendships at first, perhaps try asking people at work if they fancy seeing a film or getting a meal etc. Its a start, perhaps join a night class doing something just for fun. Its a start to you getting out more and who knows you may discover some very good friends in the end. Anyway are we all not having our summer meet up? Sorry if I have missed an important bit here So after all that waffling, what I mean is be kind to yourself and take small steps, the bigger picture will develope and you will get to where you want to be. :A (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Miss P and our adorable piglet, you always cheer my day, I have so missed you both. :A:A (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Fedup hunny, you too are going through the mill, I do hope things work out for you in the end sweetheart. You are doing well to keep so busy, phew I feel worn out just listening to all of your cleaning. :A (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

DB, Sarosie, our lovely Angie, DH, btw where is 40sm? WBF hugs hunny and well done on the scoring :A how is 115k? Anyone seen 69Chick, how is IM and her charms? Hi to Bis, Shaggy, Marru,Maman, Ra how ya doing mate? Heath hi if you are about, anyone heard from Sea? Hi to Mookie, Bubble, Cazza, CW, Fh, Eselt how ya doing hunny? Hi to Gien, Intkth, has Fluffy B been about? Ok I really must go, apologies if I have missed anyone but it has been awhile (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hugs to any lurkers, and Ntc I haven't heard from you in ages, Hugs if you are about? (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A lot of that is so very true, honey. You know me, there's a limit to how much I will discuss on here... I have a lot to sort out in my head.

Nice to have Budgie words of wisdom once more

Roll on summer meet up

Glad thats still on too :T I fear though it will take more arranging than the next general election :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hey and remember pm me if you need an ear, or your paw holding? Bear hugs hunny and take care. It all works out in the end you know I am tackling today, today and tomorrow, tomorrow if you see what I mean. I am determined not to worry like I have been doing. Poor Budgie does not want more worry lines ..................

Its a more calm and collected Budgie from now on.

Bear Hugs ((())) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

fedupandskint

The bells rang louder than in a long long time tonight.

Mood associated as feel upset still after seeing ex yesterday.

Just saved myself by making a prawn curry for tea and opening a bottle of Schloer

Have drunk the entire bottle and will be opening another one Grape and Elderflower I think it is.

Saved my AF status - however no exercise today due to low low mood. Have come up with a plan for tomorrow

Exercise and then spend the day tidying the garden up as it looks like a good day tomorrow weather wise and I need to make it a good day for me and not spend 3 days moping about.

A good plan and eat chocklit a plenty too
