    I'm still lurking around, but have been mega busy with work/life etc, and have found freecycle.....loving it!

    Still AF.

    Went to a family today who are spending over a £100 a week on booze. They have nothing, kids have nothing, yet they can't see the problem. It's hard in those situations not to disclose too much of myself and say 'hey I'm an alcoholic too!' but as they are still in denial about it all it wouldn't of made much difference anyway.

    Later this week I'm part of the interview process for my new work colleague to be! Should be interesting...I hate interviews and will be good to see what it's like from the other side of the desk as it were. I've only read back a couple of pages so hope everyone is tickety boo.

    All good here, nothing stronger than hot chocolate to drink and a merry evening all round!

    OH decided to be AF tonight too. I think that's my fault as he drunk more than usual over w/end because it's so easy to open another bottle when you're sharing. It'll be interesting to see if it's a one-off for him.

    Hope everyone else has had a good evening.

    2AF please DB.

    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.

    Just back from the dentist ..... Infection apparently as I've come away with some antibiotics. Got to go back Friday.

    Still at least that should slow my drinking down :D;)

    Good morning peeps.

    Well, I have a poorly girl home from school today so I will be going to the doctor later - she's complaining of sore ears so that's not good.

    Feeling remakably perky this morning despite having had a broken night's sleep (see above). Clearly being AF last night has contributed to me not feeling dire this morning.

    Better get my backside into gear...

    Have a great day
    Trying to keep in budget.
