    Sometimes I don't think there's anything as nice in this world as a bacon sandwich... :D

    As long as the bacon is crispy and with brown sauce.:T

    Errrmm.......did I mention I wasn't AF last night??:o


    In my defence, I was all set to be AF. Then arrived at the restaurant and my Dad had already ordered me a glass of pinot grigio!:eek: Seemed churlish not to drink it.:o

    Like you though Jo, I didn't drink too much last night. How is it some nights I could drink till I burst, and then other nights I can drink like a "normal" person??

    Had long chat with OH. He says he can see when its all going wrong. I start drinking too early, I refill my glass the minute its empty and I drink too fast. Hes right...I KNOW he's right...just have to do something about it.

    Hey ho, onwards and upwards!

    Roast chicken dinner lunchtime ...yum yum!!!!

    I never worked that out about myself.
    All I know is that the nights I drank 'normally', I would use those as examples that I didn't have a problem with alcohol. I would think that because I could moderate for one night, I could do it again.

    In reality, my drinking was never consistent. Sometimes I would get drunk, other times I wouldn't get drunk. There really didn't seem to be a pattern.

    The conclusion I have now is that I am never safe taking that first drink. It MAY lead to many more, it may not. However, I am not in control of what the affects are. Thus it is safer having none at all. That way I know that I will not get drunk.
  • Can I be added to your list for Monday to Wednesday only please Pen?

    Shaggy I'm on 7 please when you next update your list.

    Hope you're all having a good Sunday.
