I am working, honest...

But, really confused....this morning on GMTV they said weather would be horrendous today but we will be having a lovely dry sunny 3 day weekend.

On the radio just now, she said it's gonna rain everyday?????

Back to work :cool:

Oh I am just hopeless, caved in again last night and had yet more wine I dunno what it is that just makes me want it? had done loads of useful things - got blackberry wine on the go (not a good idea really!) and made cucumber and apple chutney plus sorted loads of washing then just decided to have a small one! I have seriously failed this challenge!!

Don't know about you, but I could never understand why I would swear off drink, but then end up with a beer in my hand!!
For me, it was my alcoholism
That's when my desire to drink trumped my better judgement not to.

I wanted to drink as I am alcoholic, and that's what alcoholics do.
I liked the taste of wine and beer too, but I would have drank Alcohol Free beer if I wanted the taste without the alcohol content.

After a few days of not drinking I would feel as if I deserved a drink. The reality was I couldn't achieve the feelings of relaxation and peace of mind if I wasn't drinking.

Well done DC, and all those that took part in the challenge!

Just got back from SIL's. Cleaning done for the last time. Got home to find some theiving so-and-so has nicked my recycling box!! Put it out this morning to be emptied and now its vanished! Grrr!:mad: E-mailed the council but no doubt it'll take me weeks to get another one!

OK, I take it all back.....council just emailed straight back to say they will have a new one to me before the next recycling collection:rotfl::rotfl:

That'll teach me to be negative!

Sorry about your recycling box but yay for the council. What is it with people who nab them? As well as the ones who nab other people's bins? Weird, if you ask me

Bear Towers is more like Bear Hovel atm. Feel free to get on my case if I don't update about tidying/cleaning/decluttering etc this weekend

Oh dear, are you all having exciting Bank Holiday weekends without me? *sob*

Back to cleaning, I s'pose...

Hello,

BF is here so no Friday slip ups for me Hello HB, hope you are ok.

I have now 5 days off from work so I really need to get stuff done at home as some serious studying will start as soon as I get back to work.

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Hello sweetie

Good luck with getting all your house stuff done - so far I have thrown away a lot of papers etc into recycling & started shining the sink, flylady style!
