    and so drink with my right hand.

    :rotfl:

    I'd like to see that Jo :D

    Seriously - Happy Anniversary and good luck on the quest to find what's causing these symptons. I get contact dermatitis on my right hand from washing-up liquid as the right hand has more contact with it than the left. You may have a dishwasher though or OH does them. It would be unlikely to be contact dermatitis on your hand from alcohol as there wouldn't be any contact as the booze is in a glass or can.

    Still got a poorly tummy here and feeling sicky. Yuk.

  • AF again tonight so 6 for me please Sparkles.

    Apart from feeling poorly still, feeling a bit bored and restless.
    Feels very wierd not to drink on a Saturday. I'd be glad to break that strong association with weekends like you have done Sparkles.

    Aww - hope you feel better soon DB

    As for that association it took a while and it was replacing the alcohol with Schloer that helped me get there, plus realising that a Saturday night was no different to a Monday night and why would I have a drink on a monday?

    Have rather sadly been pootling around on a preparing for winter thread and reminding myself of what needs doing in between now and then

    Better go and update the scoresheet now
