Good luck for tomorrow Marru - deep breaths and calmness required and make sure you read the questions properly. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

I'm AF as usual making it AFD 13 for me, watching Germany V Australia

I've done a load of things today and feel pleased at how much I have sorted out in the garden and crossed off my list of things to do - this AFness works!

I fell off the wagon. I didn't put up much of a fight, to be honest, but I am now almost through a 2 litre bottle of cider. And the only reason I am telling you all this is because I have so much respect for you all...plus I'm a compulsive teller of the truth!

12/29 for me Miss P - that doesn't include today.....

meh.... I am not going to beat up on myself. I am going to take my own advice and remind myself that I have 12 out of 29 days AF and that today need only be a one-off.

sob

If you can have the cider and enjoy it and not worry too much about tomorrow then definately don't beat yourself up!

It happens, and we don't all have to be teetotal, we are trying to each find our own way at the end of the day.

Good luck Just don't get drunk and depressed!xx

Evening all. Feeling bit fed up. Had lovely weekend with kids. Stepdaughter showed off her prom dress, was bough a bag by my Nan and jewellery by her Grampy.

And then we had a text an hour after OH had dropped her off saying is it ok if she gets two tattoso? One of a tatty teddy and one of betty boop (give me strength!).

I have nothing against tattoos and would love one myself when I can work up the courage. We asked her details and it seems its already planned....seems a "professional" friend of the family is doing both for £20.:eek:

OH seems very fed up with it all. Are all teenagers like this!?

She's probably just going through that process of "making the break" but at least she's running it past you... I can't really comment though as i have no motherhood experience, i have all of this joy yet to come! Sorry can't help more

Sorry, I tried to read through the posts then reply. But after starting on my last post...page 97 or whatever, it's bedtime :rotfl:

So 10 for me Miss P

It's been very difficult. But with DH being away I have found it easier. My evening starts at 8pm when the boys are in bed. So i've either had a bath, had a very early night with a book or watched a good film.

The reason i haven't come in here is because I thought if I thought about drinking too much I would struggle more.

I feel good but in turmoil still. I think I need to know why I drink so much.

For me not drinking every day has been my goal. I was getting very used to drinking a bottle of wine every evening, more at the weekend. My goal now is not to THINK about having a drink. Oh, and to lose a stone in weight as well!

Much love X

Hope everyone else is OK am off to bed :wave: Night all XX
