  • Yes, made an a-rse of myself yesterday, and am hoping I wasn't too OTT. Trouble is alcohol can do strange things to your memory.

    I am so much happier when I am moderate, or not drinking. I felt really good, and positive when I had that alcohol free week. Must get it together.

    Me too - the struggle is to stay stopped. I can stop drinking, but staying stopped is harder.......

    I think quite a few of us could say the same. Me definitely.

    Off out soon for a curry. The diet starts next week!

    Hope you've had a lovely curry and a lovely day!

    Well I hauled myself round Sainsbugs. OH couldn't understand why I needed to go shopping - am sure he thinks xmas food will last well into March :rotfl:Doesn't occur to him you can't make much of a meal out of a tin of Heroes, half a box of cheese crackers and half a dozen withering sprouts!!:rotfl:

    I've gone back to knitting recently too. Last year I made a traction man outfit for DD1's class at school and enjoyed it, so I thought I'd do some more. Meant to ask whether the living museum was a permanent one or just for Christmas?

    Welcome Kellyjelly, good to have you join us.

    :TBHB, on pleasing your mum. I hope you and MrsBHB are much calmer now. Hopefully it'll be many months before it happens again.

    I managed another tonight, the reindeer's coming closer:D

    13AF please Shaggy

    Well done Maman :T:T:T

    I've been up since 5am, alcohol hazed sleep, wide awake very early, feel like !!!!!!, gotta get up for work anyway at 7am so decided getting out of bed at 5am for coffee and ibuprofen and more coffee was a better move than trying to sleep for another couple of hours otherwise I don't think I'll be able to function. Stopping all this crap on 1st Jan.

    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.
