    Hello 7000 somethings :wave:

    ETA: (Damn, just read Sparkles' thought provoking 7000th post comment :doh: :rotfl:)

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    That was quite thought provoking all the same

    Not!!

    The link you posted Jo was somewhat more thought provoking - my recycling chaps always come just as I'm getting in the car to go to work - always give me a cheery wave! Probably think there's 5 adults in the house.

    That was in the past of course :cool:

    :wave:Hi everybody

    I've had to log on as a new person - I used to be Price Is Right, but for some reason I can't log on as that one any more. Anyway, I think I prefer my new name, it's more 'moi'. But I've lost my stars and status :eek:


    I'm not doing too badly on the AF front, managing to be AF 5-6 nights per week.

    I'm still working in the maternity cover position - still don't know when the mum is coming back! But applied for a BRILLIANT job and waiting to hear if I've got an interview ....


    Hope you are all ok

    Bi for now

    Hi Fay - Jo was just telling me it was raining away when it is mega chilly here with a very cold wind.

    I have made a nice summer display pot today with some lobelia, petunias and geranium and just assessing if I need some more to put the rest in, oh no just remember a set I had forgotten about!

    Moved the herbs to a new place, planted some more seeds, thinned out some seedlings, planted my new chrysanthemums and michealmas daisys I bought at the church sale today and another tidy up. Tomorrow is more of the tidying up while listening to 5Live commentary on the footie

    Very impressed with the free tomato, cucumber and nicotina plants from freecycle and the cheap bedding plants from a nursery and the church sale

    Busy tomorrow - clean, iron and garden

    Had a nice relaxing bath and now thinking about what to have for tea alongside my Schloer

    Mooks welcome back, don't beat yourself up about it and I'm sure you'll get back on track

    SSS/PIR - nice to see you back around, looks like life is going well for you

    Please can I join?! I can't believe I've not seen this thread before.

    Only read a little, but like others, I feel great when I'm out drinking, but awful the next day when I can't remember anything after 10pm, can't remember getting home, have bruises etc.:(:(:(

    I hardly drink really, except these big binges, I guess you'd call them. I've considered starting to drink a little every day, to see if I can build up an immunity!:D

    Latest misdemeanour was Saturday, don't remember anything after 11ish. Don't remember going to a club. Don't remember being refused re-entry after going out for a cigarette (I don't smoke!). Don't remember being put in a cab. Remember walking a fair way of the route home, but don't remember why I got out of/was ejected from the taxi. Don't remember borrowing and spending £30, in addition to the £35 I took out.:(:(:(

    I just don't seem to be able to recognise when I've had too much and should move on to soft drinks. I think its maybe because I only go out every few weeks so its like a blow out?

    Anyone had similar experience to me?
