    I've already told him: he gets a month. If he hasn't cut down a LOT by then, I'm going, regardless.

    Elfen,
    Regardless of the stress you may or may not have caused in his life-you have not made him drink. End of.

    I am surrounded by alcoholics in my family (and have a few close friends as well) and it is an addiction. Unless they want to do something about it, nothing you say or do will change that.

    LMC-milk in bags is as BB says, the norm in Canada. It is a bit of a faff to get used to them-be prepared to spill milk out the first few times you use them (hint-cut a small hole on the opposite corner as well) but they are definitely better for less recycling.

    Hi, I normally just lurk... but no it doesn't mean your purchase hasn't tracked. I got an email from Quidco yesterday tracking a transaction I made last weekend! I think they are just slow sometimes, as some track immediately.

    Most of my quidco things I don't get emails to say they've tracked, and it can take a few weeks to show on my account there.

    Less than an hour till I set off!

    oh, and I've got jaffa cakes if anyone wants some

    Afternoon,

    Elfen - IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT. Please don't blame yourself. The most important thing is he's recognised he's got a problem and wants help.

    Cheers for that Bunny, I'm sure I'll get use to it.

    I've been to TK Max and Dunelm and I'm surprised that I only spent £24 in total.

    Time to put my feet up with a cup of tea before I hit the studying!
