    Sim: just that I am thinking of you. I can't say anything more than what Graeme has said. When it comes to this work in the centre: my philosophy (sp?) is that if something is very difficult perhaps it is not meant to be. Sometimes the best things just happen and are easy. If this has taken so long to materialise perhaps time to give plan B a thought. Then it is not end of the world if plan A doesn't work out, if it does then that is bonus.

    DD has had play date with her school friend. We stayed there for tea and now we are back after bed time and she is exhausted. She is crying upstairs that she is not tired when she is absolutely exhausted. This would be normally situation when I would have half a bottle of strong sherry but as I happen not to have any it will be herbal tea for me.

    So Sparkles I have completed the challenge and WBF can I have 22 please?

    Sparkles, have fantastic holiday :j

    Graeme - Thank You for more of your wisdom and kindness :-)

    'Fedupandskint' - I'm alcohol free today after drinking yesterday.

    I'm going to look upon yesterday as a temporary 'blip', and today I decided to climb back on the wagon.

    As you say Graeme - it isn't just a question of willpower, and I can't do this on my own.

    AA meeting Saturday, and I'm sort of looking forward to it.

    Need sleep.

    Night night, sleep tight guys and gals.

    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.

    Feel like crap today :(

    Will there be anybody here this evening to pin me to the side of the wagon to save me falling off?
