  • Morning all! :hello:

    Damn damn damn, why did I have that teeny tiny JD last night? Could eeeasily have been AF, dunno why I drank it.

    Hoping to get off the mark today, woke up fresh as a daisy this morning. :)

    Just got a free photo valentines card from photobox through quidco, £1.49 postage but £4 cashback. :D

    Morning FPT ( which I keep reading as Fake Plastic WEE for some odd reason!:o)

    Are you going for cutting down or giving up? If its cutting down then don't beat yourself up, at least you stopped at one! And if you are trying to give up, STILL don't beat yourself up. One day at a time!

    You're not the only one that reads it as wee :rotfl: Was going to change my name but thought it was amusing!

    I'm going for cutting down. I have cut down a lot in the last year, before that I could easily drink between half and a whole bottle of wine each night. I don't think there's anything wrong with drinking as long as it's in moderation and you're not damaging yourself.

    I still want some of those little boxes coloured in though, and could easily have done one last night as I probably didn't even have a whole measure of whiskey. There's plenty more days left in Feb though. :) Hope your cold clears up soon!

    Last night, my kids and I were sitting in the living room and I said to them ,
    'I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle.


    If that ever happens, just pull the plug.'

    They
    got up, unplugged the Computer, and threw out my wine.

    The little b*****ds.......

    What a day

    DD woke up half one in the morning poorly
    Dash to the work with her to get papers
    Flat tyre
    Our Finance Director chaged my tyre for me!!
    Back home about to log on to work and it is already almost midday!!!
    Need to find time to go and get tyre sorted as not to have to drive with spare

    I think I will start a list of things to do before I am 50 and first on the list is: Learn how to change tyre like you have been doing it all your life

    Hugs guys (())

    Sorry can't stop as I am at work and I have just logged on quickly while I am on my lunch.

    It is such a darn pain having no internet at home, I feel so lost. :(

    But I finished January on 29 af days, and THANKYOU SO MUCH TO OUR ADORABLE CARE BEAR, THE LOVELY MS HONEY B FOR SCORING :T I don't have time to look back at everything I have missed but I do hope Bear Towers is back to normal hunny. Hugs and lots a love (()) xxxxxxxxxxx

    Fay my dear I am on 1 af day for yesterday and will be af today also, I have a cold and I am not feeling too chipper. I will have to probably text you my updates at the end of the week. (If thats ok)? As it is so hard to get online at work, Saturdays are not so bad as we work alone, so noone to see what you are doing.

    I can't get up and running with the internet at home until my Ds comes back to visit. Hopefully will be in the next 2 weeks.

    So guys I of course am still thinking of ya :)

    Big hugs and lots of Budgie love :A
