    Well after saying how easy I'm finding it, I had a sudden urge for a glass of wine before! I bought a pack of chocky buttons and a mini pot of custard instead the buttons melted into the custard is yummy.
    I got low fat custard, not sure why!

  • Alcoholism is a patient sniper. When the right time comes along, it pulls the trigger. I give alcoholism a target if I get complacent.
    That's why I should do something everyday to ensure I don't drink.
    I haven't done anything yet today so need to do something tonight. Otherwise I will get complacent.
    If I don't do something every single day, then I am getting cocky with a deadly illness. If I fight alcohol, I will lose. So I need to show it the respect it deserves ALL the time.

  • 15 afd's for me please Shaggy

    Dead easy for me atm cos I've got big project and looming deadline and am working my socks off to finish it. I'm at my desk typing away all the time - but I'd rather be doing this than commuting to an office and working with a load of funnyosities!!

    Night all

    xx

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Can I finish with a rant?? Why is it that in my local pub, 1.5 pints of lager is £3, a pint of coke and an orange juice is £4.25????? And a shandy is the same price as lager? So you trying to be good and then get charged extra for the priviledge:mad::mad::mad:.

    Rant over.

    You're soooo right. I suppose it's because they want us all to get addicted to alcohol, that way we keep coming back for more:(
