    Well done Marru!! :)

    I remember watching a video on here a year or two ago about a husband and wife where he watched her drink herself to death then ended up being an alcoholic.....sounds morbid but I want to watch it again and I can't remember who posted the link, I've tried to search the first few threads with keys words but can't find it :( anyone remember?

    Quiet on here tonight???

    Just been watching Great British Waste Menu and am genuinely horrified by whats thrown away :( Going to make more of an effort to use up stuff in fridge I think.

    Hope everyone ok??

    Day 3 done for me please Jo

  • RA - I'd like to edit your signature so that it reads:

    Living Sober - for simple people who like to complicate things

    For me that makes living life much easier. If I'm in a difficult situation I think, what would a calm and balanced person do/say... and for me that works, one day at a time.

    And that one day at a time began in December 2006. And for that I am daily grateful.

    Had the same effect on me Miss P.
    Even though I think it's been well documented what the supermarkets throw away, the perfection required by the same supermarkets regarding tomatoes and strawberries was truly outrageous.


    Think I'm on 16 AF, and 72 hours :)

    Morning all,

    Well after a very late, last minute wobble I failed the challenge last night :( there is always summat about day 3 isn't there?

    I am so much looking forward to the long weekend, it's been a long week! I was considering taking tomorrow off but I've so much to do before school starts up again next Thursday, which only gives me 4 days :eek: ......no, I need to go in. Oh scrap that anyway, just seen the weather forecast on GMTV, it'll be a waste of a day!

    I am thinking about booking to go back to where I went last week on hols, we were going to book before we left because you get quite a big discount but the re-booking shop was shut on the morning we were leaving. So I rung up the reception there and asked if I could still get that discount if I booked then and there over the phone and she told me to call her back on Friday and she'd see what she could do! Could potentially save £260 on what we paid this year :D

    HipHouse, lovely to see you back! Haven't spoken for a year or so. I am so very very pleased that you have managed to stay AF, well done and please stick around xxx

    Right, off to quaff coffee and make my lunch. :)
