    BELLS!!! :mad:

    I just sat out in the garden with a glass of coke feeling really annoyed that I have to be AF this evening. I don't even know what I think would be different about the evening if I had a glass of vodka and coke in my hand.

    It seems like alcoholic drink isn't even having much of an effect on me these last few weeks so I am doing it purely out of habit....?

    I got really annoyed in Mr T earlier because I wasn't buying a bottle of white. Got a lovely big bunch of flowers instead. They'll last a good week longer than the bottle would ;)

    One more day on all challenges please

    I'm needing someone to tell me how to wake up when AF - I'm utterly useless - :( it was one of my excuses for drinking - as it woke me up early and I could actually get up.

    Hello and goodluck GP.

    Waves hello to all of you....................

    Relate to this.

    When I was drinking I would stay up til 2am ish and be back up at work for 7. Now anything past 10 is a late night and I'm certainly still not a morning person!

    I suppose it just goes to show how l was getting enough sleep before.
