Oh and I'm on here a lot tonight because OH thought it was a fab idea to give Piglet a chocolate mousse just before bed. Now he's reaping the rewards by trying to get him to sleep!!:rotfl::rotfl:**Keep Calm and Carry On!**0 -
Well done you about the Good Food mag Miss P. I do think that it is the quality of the food that matters, eating less but better.
Ok where is that ice cream..."Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end."

PS waves to DB, sparkles et al about
Only one more month of two house chaos.
Woo hoo
Sadly the folks comign to look after my doggie and the new house have had to cancel their holiday - which leaves us with a forgien holiday booked (Oh's birthday) and might need to sneak the doggie in the mountain biking bag
I'm sure something will turn up eh?!
Sounds like everyone is good
DB - my son's being a breast at the moment as well - I honestly felt like hitting him today (harsh I know) but I'd taken time out at lunchtime to take him to a party starting at 3pm (late lunch) and he was the most ungrateful little stroppy monkey on the planet.
Pah to silly boys sometimes
Miss Piggy - sterling job - well done on the magazine! I don't buy mags anymore like you don't - but I use my cc point deals for them - I love Country living and also Gardeners world but wouldn't buy them either!

Good evening - sorry I've been MIA recently - RL does get in the way of my virtual life a lot at the moment.
I'm doing well on moderate drinking - a few glasses here and there. It's turned warm here though and that does start a few bells clanging for me so I am being extra vigilant.
the other news is that we have signed for a house (to buy). We could still get gazumped before we sign at the solicitors but it's unlikely. So it should be legally binding by the end of the month and then move in early August.
then we shall be officially skintas more than usual.
Will go off and catch up with the thread now, have a good evening.Trying to keep in budget.

Anyway this reminds me that I was going to suggest you to go and do some dog walking or cat cuddling in your local rescue. That is if you are not working full time and have the time. I think it would be beneficial for you and the animals. Very terapeuthic (sp?)
I have quite a few rescue cats already, but thanks Marru.:)fedupandskint wrote: »Managed to talk myself out of this somehow and went to buy a chip butty instead and 2 glasses of pop.

Good luck with the house Gien.
Not AF tonight but its planned and in control (which is such a new experience for me!).
I must be bucking the trend, DS has been remarkably well behaved and nice to live with this half term. Long may it last :rotfl:
Hope everyone is well tonight, Pen xThis time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
Fingers crossed x0 -

Ok, you've bought 3 bottles of wine. You don't HAVE to drink them??? Enjoy your steak (I'm jealous) and see how you feel then.
((hugs))

Hi NRA try not to get down about it, but i know life is a b1tch at times. I have had a difficult week and it's not over yet not done very well at all with remaining alcohol free. At least you're still trying and if you don't drink over the weekend it will get easier. Sometimes i have phases of felling very low but they usually pass eventually XXX0
