  • sidles in quietly - having missed you all.....no big drinking disasters but enough over last few weeks to feel a bit grumpy with myself. Been away with family and it all goes pear shaped in the alcohol department!

    Going to try and post/lurk regularly from now on as I know it helps me.

    Any big news I have missed?

    It's better when I'm not here (ie.using the laptop). However I felt I needed company whilst watching "The Debate" :eek:

    Ah ok, thanks!

    Well, last Friday to Sunday, I managed to stay sober between about 9pm Saturday and all day Sunday!

    Then, Monday until today, Thursday, I've been sober every day :-)

    Cheers,

    Hi Honey B, nice to have you back. I too am watching the debate :D my Ds is heavily in to politics and we may have a question and answer time later:eek:

    The good news is that he is thinking of booking a couple of days off work for the election and coming home to vote.:j He has kept himself on the electoral role here as he says his vote will count more?

    So of course this will make Budgie very happy :) He very nearly took polotics at uni. I am afraid not so well versed.

    Still off to the loo *sorry tmi :o) and to make a cuppa, catch you later.

    Hugs (()) Budgie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
