    Morning all :wave:

    IM, congrats on the charm, I'm so proud of you :T:T
    :D:D:D Lurky's DS2 doesn't see the problem :D:D:D

    Oooh, have you got Lurky's DS there to stay? I wondered what Lurk's was talking about yesterday :D How lovely, when do we all get an invite?? :D
    The plan was to take Disulfiram / Antabuse in March and to stop altogether. I know its better to get it under control before it gets completely out of hand, but I think I was doing better with you lot over the last couple of years especially when Molly was chasing me :rotfl:.;):D

    I think, like me, you are beginning to realise where you are with alcohol Andy. Your main problem now (IMHO of course ;)) is not the unit intake so much anymore (although it would obviously be better to drink less than the RDA :D), but the habitual part of it, the associations you have with situations and drinking and the way that it controls parts of your life. I know what you mean about Antabuse being a drastic option but it would give you a break from alcohol, which after a few days, will give you a clearer mind to decide what you want to do. But, we are good too, spesh that Molls and the whip so I am sure if you are focussed enough then you will be able to get to where you want to be :D

    And yes, we would love to have you AND your missus back full-time, cos we miss the banter :D

    Waving frantically as you drive past :wave: :wave: :wave:

    Never do online banking while watching tennis!

    Don't talk to me about online banking :( I've just checked my account and find that the Halifax has now begun their 'oh, look at that, all our customers have reclaimed their charges and we are skint, so how else can we shaft our customers' trick. A £1 for each day you're into your overdraft, £24 has been debited out of my account over night which means that not only was that my last £8 to my name, but now £16 over my overdraft which will probably result in a £35 charge *rolling my f'ckin eyes* :mad:

    Other than that, things cool here at chez '72, didn't get to bed till 12pm last night but didn't wake up till 11am!! Neither did OH or the 2 youngest kids :D DD1 must've crept out to work this morning :rotfl:

    As great as a lie in is, I now have a headache and running 2 hours behind with my chores, plus no time for the job application till later today.

    Right, better get a shufty on.

    Oh by the way, hair cut is fab, well it was, just got out of bed and look like a hedgehog :eek:

    Morning Lurky :wave:

    I hope your pipedreams do not just include the polytunnel, in the pool in summer evenings, home reared (sp?) brekkie, lunch and dinners and goats in the shower. There are hard work bits too :D
