    Morning All :hello:

    Managed an AF Saturday :j The Bells were clanking only a little last night. I stayed in with bf and watched a DVD. BF had some dark beer (which I don't like) so I was fine and I am declaring 2AFDs Sparkles please :D
    Is it wrong that I feel very pleased with myself :rotfl:

    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.

    6th AF day for me today thanks.

    I am feeling like carp lately, really tired and achy and it isn't due to the alcohol, it's more sleep related I think.

    I need to go back to bed...and I can't see any reason why I shouldn't do exactly that.:D I think I will get a nice drink of juice and lie in bed for a while.

    Hope you all have a nice Sunday.:A

    Morning all

    115k - go back to bed and have a nice lie in. It'll do you the world of good.

    Think I may go back to bed myself as seem to have gotten out of it the wrong side this morning. Very grumpy. OH and kids are out again ths morning shopping as stepdaughter obviously didn't do enough shopping in her 3 hour trip to Bath yesterday. They are also going to in-laws en-route which means I can't go (obviously) plus foot isn't really up to walking round tons of shops. So home alone again (don't get me wrong, yesterday was lovely but was very pleased to see them come home!). OH pointed out theres sausages we could all have for dinner when they get back. Guess that means I'm cooking. Hey ho....they'll be surprised when they get back and find sandwiches...:rotfl::rotfl:

    See....grumpy!!:rotfl: I'm off to give myself a good talking too.....

    Fay, Suffolk and Sussex are almost at opposite ends of the Country :eek:

    If you're in Suffolk it's only an hour and half drive from me and very near a very dear AWOL poster, if it's Sussex, then I have no idea how far away from me because I only ever drive in an easterly direction :cool: but you are right near another dear AWOL poster :)

    Hiya Slugger, welcome on board. Good luck quitting the fags and drinking xxx

    Had a really nice time out last night. OH and I very rarely get to go out because of the kids, but we went out with some friends of ours and went to a few different pubs in London along the river, such a lovely night to watch the boats go past. I then decided after 3 drinks that I wouldn't drink any more alcohol and I was really pleased with myself and wasn't bothered about it at all. It was great being 'relatively' sober when we ended up in a club at midnight in Temple, the place was HEAVING with hundreds of people dancing like complete tw*ts thinking they look really cool, I could have people watched for hours :rotfl:

    Off to Mr Ts now for din dins.

    Chow now :wave:

  • I've been very controlled with the wine over the past few weeks - but unfortunately had lots last night - went out with Mr PIR - and I feel absolutely horrendous today. Too ill to even go to the gym. Very, very annoyed with myself.

    19 afds for me please Sparkles

    I'm going to try for no more wine now for the rest of July.

    Have a good day, everybody. Congratulations to all those who have managed to give up completely - I wish I could.
